Script

[kumariaru]

Hi All..
I have a script used in process. I want to Know exactly what this is doing:

if [[ $cmd = "put" || $cmd = "append" ]]; then
echo "open $server
user $user $pwd
cd $tdir
$cmd $files
quote site chmod 666 $files
quit " | ftp -n -v > putfiles${jobid}.log
fi

This script is ft' ing a file from one server to other server(to put a file). I want to know extactly what chmod is doing in above script.

Thank you

It would appear to be setting permissions to 666 (-rw-rw-rw) on the remote server for the files that have been put or appended.

That is, if the remote server supports the chmod command.

You can probably see if it works by reading the putfiles${jobid}.log file.
