Very Computer

In the interactive mode, I have to do :
#ftp ftp.xxxx.com
.... anonymous
.... myaddress..
.... cd ....
.... get file
..... bye for exit

Howto put all in a file and execute automatically ?

... and the trailing lines are really there. Very handy, but
you can use wget for example too (might be faster if a file
is* around on some proxy already).

I guess that is a FAQ anyway, isn't it 8)

Cheers,

If you have Perl with the lib-net bundle you can use
lwp-download ftp://ftp.host.com/pub/path/file

In general you can edit a ~/.netrc file according to the man page
man .netrc  
or
man netrc
