Re: Suggestions for auto-login script for ZSH?

[Domenico Galli <galli@bo.infn.it>]

For ftp you may try something like this:

ftp -n > ftp.log <<-EOF
   open hostname
   user username password
   cd dirname
   ascii
   get filename
   quit
EOF

Of course this is not safe, because you write your password in a file. 
It's better to use rcp instead of ftp and rlogin instead of telnet.
