Hi. I've written a shell that will sftp about 5,000 to 10,000 files a day (they are small 200 byte files). Where I'm stuck at is that I need to not only copy those files from the ftp server, I also need to delete the files on the ftp server after they have been ftped BUT before they've been validated. What I mean is, before I delete them from the ftp server, I need to somehow validate/verify that the files got transfered correctly - checksum???. If a file got transfered correctly then I can delete it from the ftp server and move on to the next. If a file didn't get transfered correctly I need to log it with the full file name, put that "bad" file in a new directory and then continue on to the next file. Here is my shell so far:

#!/bin/sh
HOST='sapp01.online.disney.com'
FILE='*.*'
cd /home/user1/HI0001

sftp $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
cd /home/user1/HI0001
prompt
mget $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit

Thanks,
