Hi,

I have an existing FTP script and I am trying to modify this to do SCP rather than FTP. I checked the man help in SCP and still having a hard time doing this...

Current FTP script..

ftp -n << EOF > $LOG_FILE
verbose
open ${SERVER}
$LOGON
cd ${REMOTE_FILE_PATH}
get ${REMOTE_FILE_NAME}
close
bye

EOF

LOG_FILE, SERVER, LOGON, REMOTE_FILE_PATH are parameters passed to it.
LOGON has the userid and password for that particular server.

The SCP script that I am trying to do is..

scp -v << EOF > $LOG_FILE
open ${SERVER}
$LOGON
cd ${REMOTE_FILE_PATH}
get ${REMOTE_FILE_NAME}
close
bye

EOF

I couldn't find the relative -n parameter in SCP...But verbose in FTP can be replaced by -v.

I would appreciate any help in this..

Thank You,
Madhu

I need second set of eyes in looking at my problem...I finally did achieve the sftp working....But the script is not executing the "success" statements at the end...I am sure I am doing something silly here..

#!/usr/bin/ksh

SERVER=$1
REMOTE_FILE_PATH=$2

LOCAL_FILE_PATH=/local3/Projects/dev/scripts
LOG_FILE=$LOCAL_FILE_PATH/sftpPullFiles_log${RUNTIME}

file_count=`expr $# - 2`
echo "Total files to be sftped : ${file_count} "

cd ${LOCAL_FILE_PATH}

#------------------------------------------------------
# File 1
#------------------------------------------------------


REMOTE_FILE_NAME=$3
sftp -b /dev/fd/0 ${SERVER} <<EOF > $LOG_FILE
cd ${REMOTE_FILE_PATH}
get ${REMOTE_FILE_NAME}
bye
EOF

files_trnsf=`grep ^"${REMOTE_FILE_NAME} " ${LOG_FILE}`

if [ "$files_trnsf" -eq 1 ]
then
echo "File ${REMOTE_FILE_NAME} SFTPed Successfully from ${SERVER}"
rm ${LOG_FILE}
else
echo "ERROR occured while SFTPing file ${REMOTE_FILE_NAME} from ${SERVER}."
echo "See log ${LOG_FILE} for details"
exit 1
fi


if [ "$file_count" -eq 1 ]
then
exit 0
fi

Yeppp.........I did get it...
I changed the

if [ "$files_trnsf" -eq 1 ]

to

if [ "$files_trnsf" -eq 0 ]

and it worked....
