netout: write returned 0? 1

[specv]

When I send file with ftp, on put command, I get this message : netout: write returned 0?.

The file looks like to be send.
Anybody knows what this message means and how eliminate it?

Thanks

Looks like a debug message to me.

Does the file get sent correctly anyway?

You could try

ftp     2>/dev/null

to send the message into oblivion

Yes, the file get sent correctly. The complete code I use is :

1) ftp -n <<EOF > log.txt 2>&1
2) open ${ftpserver}
3) user ${ftpuser} ${ftppassword}
4) put ${filefrom} /dfs/projects/gdm/batch/test.txt
5) quit
6) EOF

The error is on line 4, when I hardcode the from file I don't have message.

I set the filefrom property like this :
filefrom=$(date &quot;+/dfs/projects/gdm/data/TEMPLATE_%Y%m%d.zip&quot

that's your problem:

filefrom=&quot;/dfs/projects/gdm/data/TEMPLATE_$(date &quot;+%Y%m%d).zip&quot;

Thanks vlad but it produces the same message.

Perhaps you don't have permissions to write to log.txt ?

 

[specv]

I have permission, the message appears in file log.txt

 

[vgersh99]

are the SOURCE machine and the DESTINATION machines of the 'similar' type?

meaning SUN->SUN, HP->HP, SUN->HP etc

Or are they like:

SUN -> Mainframe IBM?

There might be something incompatible between the ftp client (SOURCE) and the ftp server (DESTINATION) implementation.

> Yes, the file get sent correctly.
So I'm guessing that its a debug message which indicates a transient failure in sending the data. One attempt fails to send anything, but it tries again and succeeds.

Does

ftp -n <<EOF > log.txt 2>/dev/null

lose you any logging information which you wanted?

 

[specv]

Thanks Salem,

I think I don't lose any logging information I want with
ftp -n <<EOF > log.txt 2>/dev/null.

Can you explain exactly what 2>/dev/null means?

Redirect standard error to the null device (/dev/null)

> log.txt is the same as 1> log.txt
which is redirect standard output to the file log.txt
