Script

[kumariaru]

Hi All,
Good Morning.. I have to ftp a file from one server to other server.And the platform is unix. I am totally new to shell scripting. From the help forums I have coded the script as follows:

#!/bin/ksh
HOST='bbm02'
USER='blter\intatch'
PASSWD='bb@c12'
Source='/eev/SS/wo7/stng'
Target='/Psoft'
File="abc.log"

open $HOST [29]
quote USER $USER
quote PASSWD $PASSWD
cd $Source
get $File
quit

But still I am not able to connect(Can login into bbm02 and can do ftp manually). Is anything I can do in this script with all your help.

Thank You.

You only missed the "ftp" command:

#!/bin/ksh
HOST='bbm02'
USER='blter\intatch'
PASSWD='bb@c12'
Source='/eev/SS/wo7/stng'
Target='/Psoft'
File="abc.log"
ftp <<EOF
open $HOST
quote USER $USER
quote PASSWD $PASSWD
cd $Source
get $File
quit
EOF

Perhaps something like this ?
#!/bin/ksh
HOST='bbm02'
USER='blter\intatch'
PASSWD='bb@c12'
Source='/eev/SS/wo7/stng'
Target='/Psoft'
File="abc.log"
echo "\
open $HOST 29
quote USER $USER
quote PASSWD $PASSWD
cd $Source
lcd $Target
get $File
quit" | ftp -n -i

Hope This Helps, PH.

You may have to replace this:
quote USER $USER
quote PASSWD $PASSWD
with this:
user $USER $PASSWD

Hi PHV and LKBrwmnDBA,
PHV, I have tried the script given by you. And I got the following error:



"good2.sh[14]: echoopen bbm02 29^Juser blter\intatch bb@c12^Jc
d /eev/SS/wo7/stng^Jlcd /Psoft^Jget abc.log^Jquit: not found"

And also I have tried the code in this way :
#!/bin/ksh
HOST='bbm02'
USER='blter\intatch'
PASSWD='bb@c12'
Source='/eev/SS/wo7/stng'
Target='/Psoft'
File="abc.log"
ftp<<EOF
open $HOST 29
user $USER $PASSWD
cd $Source
lcd $Target
get $File
quit

then I am getting the following error:
"Password:Name (bbm02:vkav):
User user blter\intatch bb@c12 cannot log in.
Login failed.
Please login with USER and PASS.
/Peoplesoft: No such file or directory
Please login with USER and PASS"""

These user id and the password are correct. But, while i am running the script it is asking for Password:

Thank You

OK, but the ftp is working!
Try this:

#!/bin/ksh
HOST='bbm02'
USER='blter\intatch'
PASSWD='bb@c12'
Source='/eev/SS/wo7/stng'
Target='/Psoft'
File="abc.log"
ftp -ni <<EOF
open $HOST 29
user $USER $PASSWD
cd $Source
get $File $Target
bye
EOF

Hi LKBrwnDBA,
I have used the same script given by you. Right now I am getting following error:

$ ksh +x good3.sh
/eev/SS/wo7/stng: The system cannot find the path specified.
/Psoft: Permission denied

Thanks a lot

Hi PHV,
I have mentioned what you have given.
#!/bin/ksh
HOST='bbm02'
USER='blter\intatch'
PASSWD='bb@c12'
Source='/eev/SS/wo7/stng'
Target='/Psoft'
File="abc.log"
ftp -ni <<EOF
open $HOST 29
user $USER $PASSWD
lcd $Source
get $File
cd $Target
bye
EOF

but now i am getting this error.
"Local directory now /eev/SS/wo7/stng
abc.log: The system cannot find the file specified."

But there is a file in the source.I have checked it manually.

If this script is working fine , I will be really thankfull to all. I do not the unix scripting much.

Thanks

 

[PHV]

It's not really a unix scripting issue but a ftp one.
lcd $Source
cd $Target
put $File

Hi

Why script ?

ftp -u $USER:$PASSWD@$HOST$Target $Source$File

( I hope there is no at ( @ ) in your real password. I have no idea how to escape it. )

Your last attempt looked like a permission problem.

I always used the shell to automate FTP but recently switched to Expect.
Have you considered using that?
