UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hi,
I am successfully running following command from command prompt

Code:

$ scp oracle@172.16.0.11:/back/crmemo.csv /sales/

but when i am running the same command from a script it copying '?' in sales (destination) folder.

Following is the script

Code:

#!/bin/sh
scp oracle@172.16.0.11:/back/crmemo.csv /sales/
echo "copied"
#

Please help me to resolve the issue

Try with no trailing slash?

Seems like an ssh bug. ssh2 is free and more secure.

Is the target a sym link? You can try "/sales/.".

(Also,use the -d scp option =target-must-be-dir and check $? and report problems!)

I tried without trailing slash but still the same problem... get copied '?' instead of actual file...

Do you get '?' as directory entry /sales/?, or file content /sales/crmemo.csv containing '?' ? Give us a tighter handle:

Code:

ls -ld /sales/*
od -bc /sales/crmemo.csv

On executing the command
[oracle@erp sales]$ ls -ld /sales/*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle oracle 166710 Nov 15 08:54 /sales/?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If i run the same command from command prompt it copies the file successfully

On running same command from script I am getting following message but in sales folder i am getting '?'
crmemo.csv 100% 163KB 162.8KB/s 00:00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[QUOTE=RIAZ;302471629]hi,

Try using this command ie; give(./sales) it may save in the current directory

not working.... still waiting for some solution
