It's not clear to me whether you're executing ftp on OS/2 or ftp-ing
to an OS/2 machine.  I'm assuming you're executing ftp on an OS/2 machine.

I have a small daemon set up to ftp weather images off an internal server.
To do this I put an entry for the server in my \etc\hosts file:
9.xx.y.zzz      server.subdomain.ibm.com        weather
^ipaddr         ^real name                      ^alias

Then in my \etc\netrc file I have:
machine weather login anonymous password mcrweat...@costello.mcl.ibm.com macdef
wpics
lcd d:\\pub\\pictures\\weather
cd pub/weather
bin
get current.gif
get wxmap.gif
close
quit
(blank line here)

   Notes: the double backslashes are needed (WAD or not, I don't know) in the
          lcd command
         - this sets up two things:
           - automatic login to the machine called weather
           - a macro called wpics (invoked as $wpics at an ftp prompt)
The command that I execute in my daemon is:
        echo $wpics | ftp weather

Can you set up a netrc like the above or do you have security concerns that
prevent that?
