i am using a network of 15 boxes for routing table build up purposes.
i have a routing file that stores info in a text file and contains the
following information

bw.txt
----

Router-id S_no BW
192.168.30.1 0 64
192.168.30.1 1 64
192.168.10.1 0 64
192.168.20.1 1 64

i would like to transfer, by ftp, this to all the 15 boxes.
one option would be to 'ftp' individually to each linux box.
another option would be to use a script.
so i used cut -f1 bw.txt | uniq to get the router - ids.
it gives o/p like:

Router-id
192.168.30.1
192.168.10.1
192.168.20.1

i dont want the first line("Router-id ") how do cut that out from the o/p ?

then again, to automate ftp file transfer, i use the .netrc file. i have used
it for individual file transfers. it works well.
i'd like to write something like:

for (each router-id)
ftp router-id
end for

any help(whatever would i do witout the mail-list :-))?
