FTP auto-login Script

-
FTP auto-login.  "ftp" to a site and have the password stored.

For instance, here's a sample ".net" file in a user's home directory for uploading to sourceforge. Note, sourceforge will take any password, so m@temp.com is used here for login "anonymous".




#!/bin/bash
#
#  Sample ftp automated script to download
#  file to ${dwnld}
#
dwnld="/work/faq/unix-faq"
cd ${dwnld}
ftp << FTPSTRING
prompt off
open rtfm.mit.edu
cd /pub/usenet-by-group/news.answers/unix-faq/faq
mget contents
mget diff
mget part*

Sourceforge uses an anonymous login with an email address as a password. Below is the automated script I use for uploading binary files.



#!/bin/bash
# ftp sourceforge auto upload ftpup.sh
#   Usage: ./ftpup.sh <filename>
#
# machine upload.sourceforge.net user anonymous m@aol.com
ftp -n -u <<  FTPSTRING
open upload.sourceforge.net
user anonymous m@aol.com
binary
cd incoming
put ${1}
bye

BLAFS is a bloat-aware filesystem for container debloating. The design principles of BLAFS are effective, efficient, and easy to use. It detects the files used by the container, and then debloats the container by removing the unused files. The debloated containers are still functional and can run the same workload as the original containers, but with a much smaller size and faster deployment. https://github.com/negativa-ai/BLAFS?tab=readme-ov-file
