Bug FTP a file on Hourly basis
Hi,

I have to upload a file test_201105281100.txt to a ftp location.

The files will be created on hourly basis like test_201105281100.txt, test_201105281200.txt & so on.

After a file is uploaded successfully, I need to rename the file as test_201105281100.success & if it is not uploaded successfully then rename it as test_201105281100.failure.

Also I need to delete the older files ( I may delete all the files or only .success files). After 12 AM on 30th May, I want to delete all the files that were created on 28th.

I want the script to run as a cron job.

Please help.

Note: I will be able to implement & test the solution that you suggest on Monday morning (more than 36 Hours from now).

Thanks,
Sunil

I didnt test this. Hope this will work. I have given just a skeleton you need some work to make this work.

Code:
upload()
{
  ftp $hostname
  user $user_name
  password $password
  put $file_name 
  bye
}
checkupload()
{
  ftp $hostname
  user $user_name
  password $password
  get ${file_name} ${file_name}.remote
  bye

loc=`wc -c ${file_name}`
rem=`wc -c ${file_name}.remote`

if [ $loc -eq $rem ]
then
  echo "file uploaded successfully.."
  mv $file_name ${file_name}.success
else 
 echo "file uploaded failed.."
   mv $file_name ${file_name}.failure
fi
}

  
# assign values for below variables
file_name=
user_name=
password=
hostname=

upload
checkupload

Hi,

I have set the variables as follows.

Code:
bash-2.03# echo $hostname
97.253.98.14
bash-2.03# echo $password
postgres
bash-2.03# echo $file_name
ONLINE_WAIVER_2011052816.txt
bash-2.03# echo $user_name
postgres
bash-2.03#

I have created the 2 scripts as follows.

Code:
bash-2.03# cat f.sh
#!/bin/bash
source upload.sh
upload
bash-2.03#

and

Code:
bash-2.03# cat upload.sh
#!/bin/bash
function upload(){
  ftp $hostname
  user $user_name
  password $password
  put $file_name
  bye
}
bash-2.03#

But on running the script, I am not able to login to FTP automatically.

Code:
bash-2.03# ./f.sh
ftp> ls
Not connected.

Thanks,

Code:
function upload(){
  ftp -inv $hostname <<EOF
  user $user_name $pass_word
  put $file_name
  bye
EOF
}

This will work. You wrote the function wrong.
