Hi,
I do not want the plaintext password to appear in the netrc file. So I want to encrypt the password. Is there a way to encrypt the password and still make ftp to use the netrc ?
Thanks in advance.
-Gow:confused:
use sftp instead of ftp.
sftp encrypt password as well as text being transfer.
you do not need netrc use will use public key no plain text password needed
netrc forces you to set the permissions of .netrc file to 400. So, no one can see this other than you.. assuming root is non-intrusive..
