Hi, The script that I have setup does not work if I run the .netrc file. I ran the commands in ftp -v mode and it did not like machine command, did not like passwd or pwd etc. machine 0.0.0.0 login VJ password 123456 macdef init binary lcd /ftp cd /var/temp get newemp.db quit If I use this command in .netrc it connects to the server but it does not connect using my login name VJ, it points to some other name. ftp 0.0.0.0 <ftp://ftp 0.0.0.0/> .netrc simply doesn't work in FreeBSD. Is their someone who has a working script.
