auto FTP script -- connecting without password in script

howdy folks,

I have an XP system at work that has a batch file to do a simple task --
* copy files to a network drive
* ftp files to a linux server

<do some DOS commands here>

echo something something > ftp_script.txt
echo username >> ftp_script.txt
echo bin >> ftp_script.txt
echo put xxxx >> ftp_script.txt
echo bye >> ftp_script.txt

ftp < ftp_script.txt


I've noticed that the script *does not* contain the password. It's gotta have a password but I don't understand where it's getting it. I read somewhere where it might be storing it in IE.

Anyways, anyone have any thoughts on where the password might be hiding?

Here's a nice looking site with samples:

OPENHOST("ftp.myhost.com","myuser","mypassword")
GETFILE("myfile.zip")
CLOSEHOST

FTP login scripts are sometimes kept in a text file without an extension for added security, so if you see a file like that, just try opening it in notepad. It might be necessary to look for a line in the batch file that calls for it, in case the script is not in the immediate directory.
