Hi all,
I have the following shell script code which tries to sftp and writes the log into the log file.

TestConnection ()
{
  echo 'Connection to ' $DESTUSERNAME@$DESTHOSTNAME
  $SETDEBUG
  if [[ -a $SCRIPT ]]; then rm $SCRIPT ; fi
  touch $SCRIPT
  echo "cd" $REMOTEDIR >> $SCRIPT
  echo "quit" >> $SCRIPT
  
  chmod 700 $SCRIPT
  sftp -b $SCRIPT $DESTUSERNAME@$DESTHOSTNAME > $SESSIONLOG
  
  echo '**** FTP log reproduced below:'
  echo '-----------------------------------------------------------'
  cat $SESSIONLOG
  echo '-----------------------------------------------------------'
}
