How to Shell Script auto ftp connection?
Hi,
Currently I backup our mysql databases from are Red Hat ES 2.1 maintained by a web hosting provider manually. This means I run mysqldump and download the file each day. I would like to shell script the process if possible. I have the mysqldump portion complete now I just need to connect up to our local ftp server and drop the data. I cannot seem to get past the username and password part. Has anybody done anything like this that can help me. Or maybe just a better approach than ftp all together? We have a dedicated soulution so I have full access to the box to run what I need.
Thank You,
Mike.
