Empty file

[Pablonhd]

If run the following command from the cli my temp file contains the data I am looking for.

/usr/bin/sftp -b - 10.0.0.18 &> /tmp/test1.tmp

If i add the same line to a script the temp file is empty.

Any ideas why?

Thanks.

is the batch file (-b option) actually called '-' and where is it located?

Because if the command line works as expected it would imply that it is at ~/- (the user 'home' directory) whereas the script may be expecting to find it at /usr/bin/sftp/-
