Ftp Error .netrc File Is Readable By Others
A few techniques for using command line FTP Sep 04, '02 09:13:50AM • Contributed by: Anonymous While we all wait for Finder-level FTP access to be repaired, don't miss out on the cool hidden features of command line FTP program. Check "man ftp" for full details, but read the rest of the article for three neat examples I discovered just this morning. I believe many, and even perhaps all, of these hints will be usable by 10.1 users as well, but I am not certain; FTP appears to have been upgraded at least somewhat from 10.1 to 10.2, as evidenced by the new textual progress bars during file transfers. Here are three things you can do with the command-line FTP client:You can automatically grab a file using a one-line command. For instance, if a user named gwbush had a password yeehah and wanted to download iraq-invasion-plans.txt from ftp.thewhitehouse.com, he would type:ftp ftp://gwbush:yeehah@ftp.thewhitehouse.com/iraq-invasion-plans.txtThe file would then be downloaded without a need for any further interaction. If he wanted to download a file outside his home directory, he could, but he'd need to type the first slash as its hex code — %2F — instead of the actual character. Check the manual page for further information. You can set up a file entitled .netrc in your home directory to automatically log you into FTP servers you commonly use. Using the information from the above example, if gwbush wanted to be able to automatically log onto ftp.whitehouse.com without having to type in his username and password each time, he would create a file called .netrc in his home directory containing this:machine ftp.thewhitehouse.com login gwbush password yeehahAnd bam!, auto-login! In that same .netrc file, you can set up macros to perform batches of FTP commands you do frequently. You can just make an alias for long directory names:macdef my-mail cd /usr/local/maildirs/gwbushOr you can automate downloading a file and deleting the remote copy (someth

necessary to login to your labkey server and authorize access to data stored there. The netrc file contains configuration and autologin information for the File Transfer https://www.labkey.org/home/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=netrc Protocol client (FTP) and other programs. It may be used when working http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ftpscripts.html with SAS Macros, Transformation Scripts in Java or using the Rlabkey package.If you receive "unauthorized" error messages when trying to retrieve data from a remote server you should check that your netrc file is configured correctly, you have an entry for that remote machine, and the login ftp error credentials are correct. Additional troubleshooting assistance is provided below. Set Up a netrc FileOn a Mac, UNIX, or Linux system the netrc file should be named .netrc (dot netrc) and on Windows it should be named _netrc (underscore netrc). The file should be located in your home directory and the permissions on the file must be set so that you ftp error .netrc are the only user who can read it, i.e. it is unreadable to everyone else. It should be set to at least Read (400), or Read/Write (600)To create the netrc on a Windows machine, first create an environment variable called ’HOME’ that is set to your home directory (c:/Users/
FTP Session? Most recent update: Fri Sep 10 17:52:20 2010 UNIX WINDOWS FTP CLIENT DOCUMENTATION KERMIT SCRIPT LIBRARY CLICK HERE to read about new FTP features in C-Kermit 8.0.206. FTP SCRIPT : FTP AUTOMATION : AUTOMATE FTP : BATCH FTP : PROGRAMMABLE FTP : UNATTENDED FTP This page is written for users of Unix operating systems -- Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris, etc. The Kermit FTP client is also available in Kermit 95 2.0 for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP, for which some of the applications, examples, and terminology used here might need minor adjustments (e.g. directory path syntax). Also see: Accessing IBM Information Exchange with Kermit for a discussion of making securely authenticated and encrypted FTP connections. Hardly a day goes by without an FTP automation question appearing in the newsgroups. Until now, the stock answers (for Unix) have been as follows (the options for Windows are sparse indeed): Pipe commands into FTP's standard input. This works great when it works, but doesn't allow for synchronization, error handling, decision making, and so on, and can get into an awful mess when something goes wrong. For example, some FTP clients do special tricks with the password that tend to thwart piping of standard input or "here" documents into them. Also, the exact syntax of your procedure depends on which shell (sh, ksh, csh, bash, etc) you are using. Also, your password can be visible to other people through "ps" or "w" listings. Put the commands to be executed into the .netrc file in your login directory in the form of a macro definition. Except for avoiding shell syntax differences, this is not much different than the first option, since FTP commands don't have any capability for error detection, decision making, conditional execution, etc. Note that the .netrc file can also be used to store host access information (your username and password on each host). It's
