FTP auto login and Backup scripts

Hi

There is some method for auto login ftp like .netrc,macros but here I have written simple scripts for ftp auto login.

Steps

Following steps are required to write shell script:

(1) Use any editor like vim or mcedit to write shell script.

(2) After writing shell script set execute permission for your script as follows
syntax:
chmod permission your-script-name

Examples:
$ chmod +x your-script-name
$ chmod 755 your-script-name

#!/bin/bash
ftp_site="192.168.2.130"
username=user
passwd=password
ftp -in << (Put the EOF here)
open $ftp_site
user $username $passwd
bin
put test >> For testing I have put the test file into ftp server
close
bye
EOF

Backup

#!/bin/bash

ftp_site=ftp://ftpyoursite.com
username=user
passwd=password
backupdir=$HOME
filename="backup-$(date '+%F-%H%M').tar.gz"

echo "Creating a backup file $filename of $backupdir."

# Make a tar gzipped backup file
tar -cvzf "$filename" "$backupdir"

ftp -in << eof
open $ftp_site
user $username $passwd
bin
put $filename
close
bye
EOF
