You've got some problem with the authentication. Can you ftp to the server in the ordinary fashion (run ftp, give username etc.)?

I tried the above script on a local server here, worked all right, I was able to get a file etc...

Seems you've (or the script) got a problem with kerberos

EDIT: I'd give a loot at the ftp configuration file if you've got one. Or contact the administrator of the server to find out if they have something special in the authentication..

#!/bin/sh
ftp -in <<EOF
open <server ip address>
user <username> <password>
get <filename>
bye
EOF

The above worked all right on me.

Hi,

Although it does look like Kerberos (or a setting) is the culprit, maybe this will help:

Quote:

#!/bin/bash
ftp -in <<EOF
open <server>
quote user <user>
quote pass <password>
..
..
bye
EOF

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am getting the same error.
Can you suggest alternative....

Hi,

Nope, no alternative advise.
I can just repeat what b0uncer already suggested: Ask the administrator how things are set up and if this is possible with the current kerberos implementation.

In one site it was suggested to turn off the KERBEROS authentication.How can we do that.Can any one suggest

Does your password have special characters in it ? If so, try changing it to something else and try it.
