Automating FTP Session through Shell Script
Many times we save lot of time if we automate things.
Assume you want to put a fine named abcd.doc in server named www.myserver.com.
We will do as follows in terminal/command prompt
ftp www.myserver.com
Then it will ask for USERNAME and PASSWORD, if we enters correctly FTP session for us opened successfully. Then we can use ftp commands to put/get files to/from www.myserver.com. For putting abcd.doc we will use command put as follows
ftp>put abcd.doc
Then we will use bye to exit ftp session
ftp>bye
Automating above session through shell script
Assume user name is usermane and password password for logging into system www.myserver.com
user username password
put abcd.doc
close
bue
SCRIPT
exit 0
You can use IP address also instead of server name.
