	At our site we have a CRAY and several dozen UNIX workstations.
We are looking at ways of doing un-atteneded file transfers during off
hours.  We have started using ftp with .netrc files.  We do have outside
access to our network.  Now the question, is this considered a security
problem?  If so how are un-attended file transfers done?

Thank You
