i have written a script to copy particular file from cd,zip it and send to server.the user has to enter the file name then my script searches for the file in cdrom,compresses it and then ftp it.for ftp,user has to enter name and password.i want that the user should browse and reach to file,the selected file gets compressed and ftp to server.the login name and password should be automatic.everything should be in gui interface.i tried using .netrc file but it couldnt provide me automatic logging.it gave some authentication error.please help me using creating gui.

Do you need a GUI? It doesn't sound like you do. As for the rest, can we see the script please
