FTP Script

[ryanc2]

I need to FTP multiple files with the filenames contained in a list. I need to make one connection, so looping through the list and ftp'ing each file is not an option. I tried something like this, but cat doesn't read the contents like I need.

#!/bin/ksh
list=`cat list.txt`
if [ -s list.txt ]; then
ftp -ndi ${IP} <<-! > ftp.log 2>/dev/null
user ${user} ${pwd}
bin
cd ${rdir}
mput ${list}
bye
!
fi

Thanks in advance...

try something like this - assuming 'list.txt' contains ONE file to be transfered per line:

#!/bin/ksh

if [ -s list.txt ]; then
    ftp -ndi ${IP} <<-! > ftp.log 2>/dev/null
         user ${user} ${pwd}
         bin
         cd ${rdir}
         $(sed -e 's/.*/put &/g' list.txt)
         bye
     !
fi

That works like a charm - THANKS. One last thing, what about reanaming all the files that I sent to .done on the remote server?

#!/bin/ksh

if [ -s list.txt ]; then
    ftp -ndi ${IP} <<-! > ftp.log 2>/dev/null
         user ${user} ${pwd}
         bin
         cd ${rdir}
         $(sed -e 's/.*/put & &.done/g' list.txt)
         bye
     !
fi
