FTP auto-login.
"ftp" to a site and have the password stored.
For instance, here's a sample ".net" file in a
user's home directory for uploading to sourceforge. Note, sourceforge will take
any password, so m@temp.com is used here for login "anonymous".
#!/bin/bash
#
# Sample ftp automated script to download
# file to ${dwnld}
#
dwnld="/work/faq/unix-faq"
cd ${dwnld}
ftp << FTPSTRING
prompt off
open rtfm.mit.edu
cd
/pub/usenet-by-group/news.answers/unix-faq/faq
mget contents
mget diff
mget part*

Sourceforge uses an anonymous login with an email address
as a password. Below is the automated script I use for uploading binary files.
#!/bin/bash
# ftp sourceforge auto upload
ftpup.sh
# Usage: ./ftpup.sh <filename>
#
# machine
upload.sourceforge.net user anonymous m@aol.com
ftp -n -u << FTPSTRING
open upload.sourceforge.net
user anonymous m@aol.com
binary
cd incoming
put ${1}
bye
