NETRC(5N)               COMMAND REFERENCE               NETRC(5N)



NAME
     .netrc - remote machine login/passwords

DESCRIPTION
     The .netrc file in a user's home directory contains a list
     of accounts on other machines.  It is used by the ftp(1n)
     and rdump(8n) commands to provide auto-login.

     The format is a keyword followed by a value separated by a
     space, comma, tab or newline.  The keywords are machine,
     login, and password.

     These are keywords not currently used but recognized:
     default, notify, write, yes, y, no, n, command, and force.

     Since this file contains passwords to accounts on other
     systems the programs that use this file will print an error
     message and not use the information if it is readable by
     group or other; this is to encourage the user to protect
     this sensitive file.

EXAMPLES
          machine bigvax,login joeuser,password fatchance
          machine tekworks,login wiseguy

FILES
     $HOME/.netrc
