You should have a script call it myscript that will ftp file to remote server:
ftp remoteserver <cd /dir
binary
put file
bye
END
If you want to send multiple files then replace put file with the following :
prompt
mput file*.*
- make this script executable:
chmod +x myscript
- For ftp to work without providing any username / password, use .netrc file in the user's home directory (the one who will run the script). This file should not be readable by others i.e. use
chmod 400 .netrc
The entry in .netrc should be as below:
machine remoteserver
login remoteusername
password mypassword
remoteserver is the server which is the ftp server where you want to sent the file(s)
remoteusername is the remote user login name on the ftp server
mypassword is the password of the remote user on the ftp server
for more info about .netrc, please use man netrc
