Re: FTP into Linux box

["A. Konstam" <akonstam trinity edu>]

That is what bugs me the man page for aftp and netrc
imply for it to work your ftp must be in autolog mode.
When I try this with netrc the autologing in fails. I
am not sure how to do this. While the use of: ftp -n < <file-name>
seems to work although my impression from the man page
for ftp is that is should not.
