[rhn-users] Automation Task

[Sterling, James A]

Another way would be to use rcp in side a script also ..

	rcp -pr the_target_file
other_system:/where_to_go/the_target_file

	with rcp there is no checking of passwords.. And the account on
the first machine MUST be on the target machine.. 

And you may need /etc/hosts.equiv to have both systems names so both
machines know about one another

Hope this helps

Create a file, call it say 'ftpscript', with contents similar to:

  open <server>
  user <login> <password>
  binary
  put <file>

Then invoke ftp like this:

  ftp -i -n <ftpscript
