Re: Script with 'ftp' and rewrite using 'sftp'

<< means read from here to the end.

Why take a secure file transfer medium and code a visible password in the
script ?

Aixers,

I have an old script written by someone else. The script is as follows
NOTE: ip address,login name, password,etc have been changed):

ftp -inv<<!
open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
user user-name password
cd /cgi-bin/import/
dir
as
put some.txt
dir
quit


Question #1: What does "<<!" really mean?

Question #2: How would one rewrite this script to use sftp?

Thanks,
