[SOLVED] Shell script

Hi people!

I need to make a shell script to make a ftp connection. But it will be used in cron.

How can I set a static username and password on the script??

I've tryed to find this on Google, but without sucess.

Thanks for your time!

Using a script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/username
HOST='192.168.1.1'
USER='username'
PASS='password'

ftp -n -v $HOST << EOT
user $USER $PASS
prompt
put filename.txt
get someother.txt
cd somedirectory
get somefile.txt
bye
EOT

You can change anything between prompt and bye to fit your needs.

LOL

What is EOT?

I knew EOF =P

Thanks !!!

EOT is end of tape
EOF is end of file

I gripped that from an older script lying around. At least it wasn't formatted for the Commodore 64 or something.
