Question For Loops Within Ftp Comands
I am having trouble getting files to ftp over when I run the file names through a loop. If I just do one file it works, but inside of a for loop it does not.

Help!

################section 2

cd /home/salazar/chk_data
chmod 777 *
ftp -n 161.241.--.-- <<!
user anonymous \n
ascii

for job2 in 3t 11 12 13 14 18 19 25 26 30 37 205 210 215 218 220 225 230 255 260 262 305 310 311 315 320 325 330 331 335 336 337 341 343 345 360 375 380 381

do
CFNAME="$job2".chk
RFNAME="$job2".rem

cd ../$job2
put /home/salazar/chk_data/$CFNAME $CFNAME
put /home/salazar/chk_data/$RFNAME $RFNAME

done

It's a very small step from this....
Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

HOST=remote.host.name
USER=whoever
PASSWD=whatever

exec 4>&1
ftp -nv >&4 2>&4 |&

print -p open $HOST
print -p user $USER $PASSWD
print -p cd directory
print -p binary
print -p put tar.gz
print -p bye

wait
exit 0
to this....
Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

HOST=remote.host.name
USER=whoever
PASSWD=whatever

exec 4>&1
ftp -nv >&4 2>&4 |&

print -p open $HOST
print -p user $USER $PASSWD
print -p binary
for job2 in 3t 11 12 13   ; do 
      print -p cd  $job2
      CFNAME="$job2".chk
      print -p  put /home/salazar/chk_data/$CFNAME $CFNAME
done
print -p bye
wait
exit 0
That's one of the advantages that the coprocess technique has over the here-document technique.

For loop in SFTP
Could you please suggest or give a sample script to use for loops in SFTP script?
The SFTP should be in non-interactive mode.

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Cut and paste if you can't get the syntax right. There is no space between the | and the & in my code. You added a space between them.
