RE: can't put pasword in .netrc
Authored by: nvdingo on Sep 04, '02 12:13:59PM

you can put your password in there, as long as you `chmod go-r .netrc`
if you don't the actual error that appears is:

220 FTP server ready.
ftp: Error: .netrc file is readable by others.
ftp: Remove password or make file unreadable by others.
ftp>

which tells you how to fix the problem
