I have a ftp script that copies files from a solaris box to an as400. Maybe it will work on FreeBSD. (?)

nsaFtp.sh:
ftp -in < nsaFtpCmds Joppa 21

nsaFtpCmds:
user USERNAME PASSWORD
cd /QDLS/MM4R5FLR/00500
lcd data
mput SYB*
dir
quit

Hello. I am using FreeBSD 6.0 and Bash as my shell. I
am following a tutorial to create a shell script to
copy some files. It works perectly exept for 2 points.

Here is the article -

Here is the script -

#!/bin/sh

temp="/tmp/$(basename $0).$$" ; trap "/bin/rm -f
$temp" 0
targetdir="remote-dir"
remote="laptop.intuitive.com"

echo "taylor" > $temp
echo "cd $targetdir" >> $temp

for file in *
do
 if [ -f $file ] ; then
  echo "put $file $file" >> $temp
 else
  echo "skipping $file: not a file." >&2
 fi
done

echo "quit" >> $temp

ftp $remote < $temp

exit 0

One problem is that the password must be entered
manually, I have spent a good part of the day
experimenting but can't seem to automate this. Can the
password be entered using the script?

The other problem is that it copies the actual file.
What command would I look at to copy only images
(.jpg) for example?

Thanks in advance.
