I need to FTP a file
from
LocalDir= 'cd orgs /"Financial Aid"/"MSS"/"0910"/"FTP" ';
to
CDRemoteDir="/u02/sct/banjobs";

The file in th local directory is created like 07130900.SUP the .SUP is always there, but the 07130900 (change everyday with the date, look at the format 07130900, how I can add code in this script, so I know that everyday is going to FTP the last file with the .SUP EXTENSION

Code:

#! /bin/sh
#
#**************************************************************************
# Script:  miis_ftp.ELM_SUP.shl
#
# Author:  
# Date: 7/17/2009
#
# Purpose:
#   
# files are downloaded from ELM,named xxxxxx00.SUP to 
 #  ="/u02/sct/banjobs";
#
# Directory Location for script:
#        #
# Special Notes:        This shell script is called from XXX
#                   run in job submission

UpLoadFileName1=${FILE_NAME};
LocalDir= 'cd orgs /"Financial Aid"/"MSS"/"0910"/"FTP" ';
 
RemoteHost="middfiles.xxxx.edu";

You can get the date format in the way you specified using this:

Code:

date "+%m%d%y"

So you could set the filename like this:

Code:

FILENAME=`date "+%m%d%y"00.SUP`

something like this?

Code:

ScriptName="miis_ftp.ELM_SUP.shl";
UpLoadFileName=`date "+%m%d%y"00.SUP`;
NewName= "eluppdtop.dat" ;

After I got the file, I need to change the name to eluppdtop.dat, is this correct

also
will this work, knowing that the file is in a directory in windows.. It is
going from a drirectory in windoxs to UNIX \

Code:

# Error Handling Function
function ErrorHandle
{ 
# if type is 1, then the file does not exist or unreadable
if [ $type -eq 1 ]
then
echo "File "$UpLoadFileName" does not exist or unreadable" >> $LogFile;
echo "Subject: Error in Running Script\n Error in uploading file script "$ScriptName". File "$UpLoadFileName" does not exist or unreadable" > EmailMessage;
sendmail -F " File Upload" $EmailAddress < EmailMessage;
rm EmailMessage;
fi
# if type is 2, then the file has zero size
if [ $type -eq 2 ]
then
echo "File "$UpLoadFileName" has a zero size value" >>$LogFile;
echo " Subject: Error in Running Script\n Error in uploading file script "$ScriptName". File "$UpLoadFileName" has a zero size value" > EmailMessage;
sendmail -F "The eluppdtop.dat File Upload" $EmailAddress < EmailMessage;
rm EmailMessage;
fi

Once you have the file you can name it anything you wish. Also, it shouldn't be a problem that the FTP server is running on a Windows box.

Good luck
