Hello experts
I am conneting to my ftp server through batch file.
But every time it is asking me for username & password

So how do I pass the authentification (username & Password) parameters through the batch file itself.

(I need to automate my batch file , passing the username and password in the batch file itself)so that, user doesn't have to put in the authentication every time.

Guide

For the Windows command-line FTP client you can do (tested on XP, may need tweaks for other versions):

Code:

---

ftp -s:commandscript.txt myftpserver.mydomain.com

---

... and provide the commands to run in the file commandscript.txt:

Code:

---

MyUsername
MyPassword
Binary
Close
Quit

---

For other clients, see the documentation. Also note that storing passwords in a text file is a security risk. If you have administrative control of the server, using SSH SFTP/SCP is more secure.
