An example which runs as expected here:
adalloz $ cat .netrc
machine metatron
login adalloz
password secret
macdef init
ls
pwd
quit
Keep care the ~/.netrc has chmod 600 and is owned by the user. Keep also
care that the macro definition's last command (here quit) an empty line
is followed. If you then connect running "ftp metatron" it logs in and
automatically runs the define macro called init.
Your code to be in the ~/.netrc:
machine mydomain.com
login name
password XXXXXX
macdef macro-name
cd /backup
lcd /home/timothy/backup
put *.gz.gpg
quit
[comment - not in .netrc: here is an empty line!]
Then run "ftp mydomain.com" and at ftp> prompt execute "$ macro-name".
Voila :)
