NAME
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This file contains configuration and autologin information for the
File Transfer Protocol client
ftp(1)
The
file contains login and initialization information
used by the auto-login process.
It resides in the user's home directory.
The following tokens are recognized; they may be separated by spaces,
tabs, or new-lines:
- name
Identify a remote machine
The auto-login process searches the
file for a
c machine
token that matches the remote machine specified on the
command line or as an
c open
command argument.
Once a match is made, the subsequent
tokens are processed,
stopping when the end of file is reached or another
c machine
or a
c default
token is encountered.
default
This is the same as
c machine
except that
c default
matches any name.
There can be only one
c default
token, and it must be after all
c machine
tokens.
This is normally used as:
thereby giving the user
anonymous ftp login to
machines not specified in
This can be overridden
by using the
flag to disable auto-login.
name

If this token is present, the auto-login process will initiate
a login using the specified
string
Supply a password.
If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the
specified string if the remote server requires a password as part
of the login process.

is readable by
anyone besides the user.
string
Supply an additional account password.
If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the
specified string if the remote server requires an additional
account password, or the auto-login process will initiate an
command if it does not.
name
Define a macro.
This token functions like the
c macdef
command functions.
A macro is defined with the specified name; its contents begin with the
next
line and continue until a null line (consecutive new-line
characters) is encountered.
If a macro named
c init
is defined, it is automatically executed as the last step in the
auto-login process.
