Modify FTP script to have SCP
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
