On Unix, we can specify the ftp username/password in ~/.netrc file and next time onwards, there is no need to specify username/password while ftping to any machine provided the credentials for that machine exists in ~/.netrc file.
It’s very helpful especially if you need to login to multiple machines may times lets say for monitoring purposes.
Can any one please suggest if there is any equivalent of this on Windows?
This is a shortcoming of the FTP client that comes with Windows. There are plenty of other FTP clients for Windows that allow you to save your passwords.
