Thanks for all your answers everbody said to me to implement the .netrc

follows

ftp -i -v xx.xx.xx.xx <<EOF 2>&1

get filename
quit
EOF

and it worked 

Thanks

Subject: [HPADM] Hiding password embedded in Shell Scripts


Hi Admins 

I am posting this question related to security I have few shell scripts
running in my system to transfer (ftp ) the files on daily basis from one
server to another and these shell scripts have userid & password which
raises a security breach . Is there anyway to hide these passwd in scripts. 

Please do let me know 

I will summarize 

TIA
Neeraj Lal
