I'm using IP addresses to get around naming issues. My .netrc seems to be
okay:
machine XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX login sunuser password sunpw
machine XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX login aixuser password aixpw
... 2 other servers...
When I run the ftp command to these servers at the pwd where .netrc is, I
get an automatic login and the ftp> prompt is returned on all of them except
this sun server. Instead, I get:
Name (IP addr:loginname): The loginname being who I am logged in as,
not the login name in the .netrc
It's as though the .netrc is being ignored.
I tried it with another sun server I have and it worked okay and I got an
ftp> prompt. So, it seems to be just the one sun server that doesn't run
the .netrc. I'm not sure what is stopping it.
I'm running propriety, health care type applications that can't handle scp
for sftp, so that's why I'm using ftp. I tried the aix newsgroup too, but
didn't get too far.
