NAME
netrc - file for ftp remote login data
DESCRIPTION
The .netrc file contains data for logging in to a remote
host over the network for file transfers by ftp(1). This
file resides in the user's home directory on the machine
initiating the file transfer. Its permissions should be set
to disallow read access by group and others. See chmod(1).
Tokens can be separated by SPACE, TAB, or NEWLINE charac-
ters. The following tokens are supported:
account string Supply an additional account password. If
this token is present, the auto-login pro-
cess supplies the specified string if the
remote server requires an additional account
password. If the remote server does not
require an additional account password, the
auto-login process initiates an ACCT com-
mand.
default Same as machine name, except that default
matches any name. There can be only one
default token, and it must be after all
machine tokens. The default token is nor-
mally used as follows:
default login anonymous password user@site
Such an entry gives the user automatic
anonymous ftp login to machines not speci-
fied in .netrc.
login name Identify a user on the remote machine. If
this token is present, the auto-login pro-
cess initiates a login using the specified
name.
machine name Identify a remote machine name. The auto-
login process searches the .netrc file for a
machine token that matches the remote
machine specified on the ftp command line or
as an open command argument. Once a match is

made, the subsequent .netrc tokens are pro-
cessed, stopping when the EOF is reached or
another machine token is encountered.
macdef name Define a macro. This token functions the
same as ftp macdef. A macro is defined with
the specified name; its contents begin with
the next .netrc line and continue until a
null line (consecutive NEWLINE characters)
is encountered. If a macro named init is
defined, it is automatically executed as the
last step in the auto-login process.
password string Supply a password. If this token is present,
the auto-login process supplies the speci-
fied string if the remote server requires a
password as part of the login process. If
this token is present in the .netrc file,
ftp aborts the auto-login process if the
.netrc is readable by anyone besides the
user.
skipsyst Skip the SYST command that is sent by
default to all remote servers upon connec-
tion. The system command is what enables the
automatic use of binary mode rather than the
protocol default ascii mode.
As some older servers cannot handle the ftp
command, this directive is provided to allow
inter-operability with these servers.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A Sample .netrc File
A .netrc file containing the following line:
machine ray login demo password mypassword
allows an autologin to the machine ray using the login name
demo with password mypassword.
