    Hi Admins

    I am posting this question related to security I have few shell scripts
    running in my system to transfer (ftp ) the files on daily basis from one
    server to another and these shell scripts have userid & password which
    raises a security breach . Is there anyway to hide these passwd in scripts.

    Please do let me know

    I will summarize

    TIA
    Neeraj Lal
