FTP AUTOMATED TRANSFERS 
To add to the earlier tip
 on automated transfer using
 FTP, you can define a macro
 by name 'init' which will
 automate the whole transfer.
 
 Defining the macro.
 
 In the .netrc file after the
 definition for the machine
 name,add the following
 definition.
 
 macdef init
 bin
 hash
 cd
 !cd
 put/get
 bye
 
 The line begining with macdef
 starts the definition of a
 macro.All the sub sequent
 lines upto a blank line (or
 end of file)  are part of
 the macro.
 
 Now if you type ftp
 at the prompt,
 the whole ftp will happen
 automatically.
 
 These macros can also be
 defined in any other name in
 which case,you will have to
 type the macro name at the
 ftp prompt for its statements
 to get executed.
