ftp -n (servername)

Does anyone know how to get this to work? I cant even find the .netrc file to change. I hate typing in the user and password everytime as I use the ftp program 200 times a day...


Please help

Try this:

vi $HOME/.netrc

and insert this sort of line:

default login YourUserName password YourPassword

save your work and then:

chmod 600 $HOME/.netrc
ftp ServerName
