[SunHELP] Script to automate ftp.

[Elly Wijaya]

Andrew,
You can write a script, then schedule the script using cron.
Below is the sample script:

cd <destination dir>
ftp -n -v > ftp.log << EOF
open <host name or ip-address>
user username password
cd <source dir>
bin (if you are trying to get binary files)
get <filename>
quit
EOF
