NAME
     netrc, .netrc - user configuration for ftp

DESCRIPTION
     This file contains configuration and autologin information for the File Transfer Pro-
     tocol client ftp(1).

     The .netrc file contains login and initialization information used by the auto-login
     process.  It resides in the user's home directory.  The following tokens are recog-
     nized; they may be separated by spaces, tabs, or new-lines:

     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 processed, stopping when the end of file is
               reached or another machine or a default token is encountered.

     default   This is the 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.  This is normally used as:

                     default login anonymous password user@site

               thereby giving the user automatic anonymous ftp login to machines not spec-
               ified in .netrc.  This can be overridden by using the -n flag to disable
               auto-login.

     login name
               Identify a user on the remote machine.  If this token is present, the auto-
               login process will initiate a login using the specified name.

     password 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.  Note that if this token is present in the
               .netrc file for any user other than anonymous, ftp will abort the auto-
               login process if the .netrc is readable by anyone besides the user.

     account 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 ACCT command if it does not.

     macdef name
               Define a macro.  This token functions like the ftp macdef command func-
               tions.  A macro is defined with the specified name; its contents begin with
               the next .netrc line and continue until a null line (consecutive new-line
               characters) is encountered.  If a macro named init is defined, it is auto-
               matically executed as the last step in the auto-login process.
