Re: single line reply

Usually with a command line tool you can use the < to pipe text into the
application. For example, ftp somehost.com < "mypass". That may not work
well with something that needs multiple lines of input, but you can also put
everything in a text file on a different line (i think) and feed that in.
eg, ftp somehost.com < filewithuserandpass

Another option for ftp is to use curl. You can do just about everything
from the command line. Just use curl -O ftp://user:email@hidden to
download a file.

It's not a catch all solution, but it might help.
