Hi all! I've used ftp-module (Net::FTP) in a perl-script that permits me to do a ftp to a remote server automaticly. My idea is that when I starts my linux server, it modifies some remote pages (on other server...) and when I halt my server, it restore the original files on the remote server. (I use rc.d directories) It runs correctly :), but there is a problem: I've to write my login and password in plain text in the script (*as shown below). I know that i can read-protect the script, but i doesn't like to have my password in plain text. Is there any manner to encrypt it, as linux do in passwd files? Or any other module that permits me to do the same with encrypted password? Thanks in advance! p.s. I can't use ssh in the remote server, it only runs ftp! ____________________________________________________ *SOME SCRIPT LINES use Net::FTP $ftp = Net::FTP->new("remote_server", Debug => 0); $ftp->login("LOGIN",'PASSWORD); $ftp-> MY COMMANDS ____________________________________________________
