Hi,
The script that I have setup does not work if I run the .netrc file. I
ran the commands in ftp -v mode and it did not like machine command, did
not like passwd or pwd etc.
machine 0.0.0.0
login VJ
password 123456
macdef init
binary
lcd /ftp
cd /var/temp
get newemp.db
quit
If I use this command in .netrc it connects to the server but it does
not connect using my login name VJ, it points to some other name.
ftp 0.0.0.0 <ftp://ftp 0.0.0.0/>
.netrc simply doesn't work in FreeBSD.
Is their someone who has a working script. Thanks!!!

FreeBSD's ftp command supports .netrc files. Is your current script not
working?
