    Hi Admins

    Thanks for all your answers everbody said to me to implement the .netrc

    I created the .netrc file in my home directory the content of file is as
    follows

    machine xx.xx.xx.xx login abcdefgh password tyuiop

    and then the script

    ftp -i -v xx.xx.xx.xx <<EOF 2>&1

    get filename
    quit
    EOF

    and it worked

    Thanks
    Neeraj Lal

    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
