On my AIX box, ftp output a message from every file tranfered :

Code:
$ ftp localhost
Connected to loopback.
220 KLOGI810 serveur FTP (Version 4.1 Fri Mar 29 22:11:06 CST 2002) prêt.
Name (localhost:user): 
331 Mot de passe requis pour user.
Password:
230 Utilisateur user connecté.
ftp> cd TMP    
250 Exécution de la commande CWD terminée.
ftp> lcd TMP/FTP
Local directory now /home/user/TMP/FTP
ftp> prompt off
Interactive mode off.
ftp> mget F*.DAT
200 Exécution de la commande PORT terminée.
150 Etablissement de la connexion de données pour F0.DAT (0 octets).
226 Transfert terminé.
200 Exécution de la commande PORT terminée.
150 Etablissement de la connexion de données pour F10.DAT (0 octets).
226 Transfert terminé.
200 Exécution de la commande PORT terminée.
150 Etablissement de la connexion de données pour F11.DAT (0 octets).
226 Transfert terminé.
ftp> bye
221 Au revoir.

If you ftp output is similar you can do something like this :

Code:
ftp xxxxxxx >ftp.log 2>&1
echo "#Transfered files : $(grep -c '^226' ftp.log)"

Hi,

First i would like to thank you for your replies.

My FTP specific code as follows,

PUTHOST=xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
PUTUSER=xxxxxxxxxx
PUTPASSWD=xxxxxxxx
FTPFILE="xxxxxx*.txt"
ftp -n -v $PUTHOST << EOF
quote USER $PUTUSER
quote PASS $PUTPASSWD
cd xxxxxxx
lcd $xxxx
mput $FTPFILE
quit
EOF


I am a new comer in Unix world so doen't know much about it. Please help me out in this,
ls -1 xxxxxx*.txt|wc -l

the above code gives only the no. of files with xxxxxx*.txt but i don't think so these give the number of files transfered.

Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Regards,
Azaz Ali.

its assumed that files of type xxx*.txt are being transferred through the script and thats an indirect way of identifying how many files are going to be transferred with the ls -1 xxx*.txt | wc -l option....

another option has mentioned here to grep from the logs after ftping...

you do use multiple file transfer and why isnt that interactive prompting is not turned off by specifying -i option?

Hi Madan,

First i would like to thank you for your reply.
I don't have much knowledge on both shell scripting as well as on FTP.
I just came to know by seeing the reply that -i option is used to turn off tthe interactive scripting.
Can you please suggest me the code we should be added in the code which i have sent to 1.Log files whenever the script is executed and 2.total number of files transfered.

Regards,
Azaz.

here it is,

ftp -n -i -v <<EOF >logFile
#ftp commands
EOF

you would have the ftp log information in the logFile
and grep for 226 Transfer complete message
