I've been using kermit for a while, but I've never ...
I use K95 to log in to a "system", using the supplied login.ksc.
Then I have a macro that I can invoke that causes that system to log in to
an ftp server, using the name and password that I previously supplied to the
"login" page of K95D for getting into the system. It uploads a file, and
logs out.
I want to do this same job from a unix ckermit session.
I've never used a login script from unix, other than one with hard coded
passwords. I thought that the login.ksc would prompt for a password if one
wasn't supplied, but that doesn't happen.
I could craft a script with askq in it, but I'd rather just ask for a
newbie pointer here ;-)
Can I have a moderately encrypted password file on unix, like the one for
K95, so I don't have to key it in?
Is there a pre-existant script for unix that will prompt for a password and
keep it in a variable that will be available to my macro, in addition to
using it to log in to the target system?
