I was doing a little script to auto-ftp some file,

all host, passwd, etc are stored into a .netrc file.

the problem is that I couldn't get it to grab passwd and other info..

any advice?

Hi
Did you source the file in your script?

never mind. figure it out.

I su in, so ftp still remember my login name instead of root. that is why 
ftp didn't pickup info from .netrc because it didn't match with 'root'.

thanks.
