Hi

I need to make a script for schedule a job that every day put a file into a
FTP Server. I am using Solaris 8

I need to autenticate, change to bin mode and finnally put the file LOG.tar

Thanks in advance

Try this :

ftp -i -v -n hostame_ftp_server <<EOF
user login passwd
binary
put filename
bye
EOF

for more information, man ftp ! ;-)

Save and make executable as putlog.ksh:

usage: putlog.ksh username userpass destination

#!/bin/ksh
USERID="user "$1" "$2
ftp -n <<+++
open $3
$USERID
bin
put LOG.tar LOG.tar
bye
+++

It's not too pretty but it works.

Sometimes it's easier to use ncftp for this. Then you can get it done
with a one-liner. ncftp is available from sunfreeware.com.

ncftpput -u username -p passwd remotehost remote-dir LOG.tar

Default transfer type is binary - no need to specify it in your case.

1. Create this working tested $HOME/.netrc file
machine ftp.tin.org login anonymous password your...@yourDomain.com
macdef init
lcd /tmp
binary
prompt
cd pub/news/clients/tin/stable/
get tin-current.tar.gz
quit
<blank line>
<blank line>

2. Then crontab a command of:
%ftp ftp.tin.org

3. The steps in your ~/.netrc will run automatically, in series,
causing the FTP download (or upload) to occur automatically.
