The ".netrc" file is documented under ftp. Below is the documentation:
THE .netrc FILE
The .netrc file contains login and initialization informa-
tion used by the auto-login process. It resides in the
user's home directory. The following tokens are recognized;
they may be separated by spaces, tabs, or new-lines:
machine "name"
Identify a remote machine name. The auto-login process
searches the .netrc file for a machine token that
matches the remote machine specified on the ftp command
line or as an open command argument. Once a match is
made, the subsequent .netrc tokens are processed, stop-
ping when the end of file is reached or another machine
token is encountered.
login "name"
Identify a user on the remote machine. If this token
is present, the auto-login process will initiate a
login using the specified name.
password "string"
Supply a password. If this token is present, the
auto-login process will supply the specified string if
the remote server requires a password as part of the
login process. Note that if this token is present in
the .netrc file, ftp will abort the auto-login process
if the .netrc is readable by anyone besides the user.
account "string"
Supply an additional account password. If this token
is present, the auto-login process will supply the
specified string if the remote server requires an addi-
tional account password, or the auto-login process will
initiate an ACCT command if it does not.
macdef "name"
Define a macro. This token functions like the ftp mac-
def command functions. A macro is defined with the
specified name; its contents begin with the next .netrc
line and continue until a null line (consecutive new-
line characters) is encountered. If a macro named init
is defined, it is automatically executed as the last
step in the auto-login process.
