SFTP and append mode

[teqmem]

Hello,

I realize that my question is non-AIX specific but I'm sure that some AIX-centric people know the answer.

How do you append using SFTP? I use openssh. When I send a file to a remote SSH server, I sometimes need to append to an existing file.

Thank you.

I'm afraid you can't do this using sftp but you can use sftp inside a script to do that!

Use the sftp to copy to a temporary directory in the destination server then inside the same script use this:

fp=/Temp_Destination_Dir_path/*
fp='ls '$fp


for i in $fp
do
cat $i >> /Destination_Dir_Path/$i
done

Regards,

Another way to do it is to do something like

To get a file

ssh ruser@rhost "cat /path/to/rfile" >> /path/to/localfile

to put file

cat /path/to/localfile | ssh ruser@rhost "cat >> /path/to/remotefile"

Ceci n'est pas une signature
