How can I use ftp in combination with “.netrc” for anonymous login?

In UNIX/Linux, you can add a “.netrc” file in your HOME directory and completely automate ftp sessions. The “.netrc” may look like :

#more .netrc
machine <ServerName> login <UserName> password <Password>

For Example:
machine rdev200 login ravi password rabindra

The automated script may look like :

#!/usr/bin/sh
ftp -i -v [hostname/ip-address] <<ENDOFSCRIPT
cd [to_dir]
lcd [from_dir]
put <FileName>
bye
ENDOFSCRIPT
