    Automate batch file to accept username & Password
    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.

    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.
