Hello All

I am very new with UNIX.  I am trying to include ftp commands in my shell
script, but it is not successful yet.  I want to ftp and grab files from
another host, and then run other commands in the script file.  I have
commands in my script file as follows:
Other commands.
....
....
ftp hostname
loginname
password
cd regs:
get stufile.bcf
bye
other commands...
....

The problem is that it always asks me to put my login and password.  It
didn't automatically go through as I wish.  Can anyone please help?

Thank you.
Pong
