ftp without user intervention

[rinku rathore]

Hello All,
 
 I wanted to transfer a file using ftp.But the problem
is that I wanted to do it through a "c program",this c
program should give the IP adrress to which we want to
connect,now the same program give the user name And
password to connect without the intervention of
user(i,e., without manual entery of user name and
password).
Thanx in advace,if any body can help me,
Regards ,
Rinku Rathore.

hi rinku,
	AFAIK the kind of work that you want to do is called as "an automated
task".Although these tasks require user interaction still they can be
performed using the "expect" command.Infact it is a tool."man expect"
would give you some more clues.Hope that was your requirement.

cheers-

"expect" is a modified Tcl interpreter, which is specifically intended
for automating interactive tasks. It provides similar functionality to
the "chat" program, but is more powerful (as you have the Tcl language
available).

Both chat and expect allow you to write scripts where commands are
executed in response to receiving specific data.

The chat program is most commonly used to script dial-up PPP logins
(i.e. wait for the server to send a "Login:" prompt then send the
username in response, etc).

Expect was designed for more complex cases. One common use is to
script the "ftp" program.
