Passing variables: sftp using -b batchfile
Hi All,
I have created a script for an sftp transfer that works without a date variable being passed, I want it to work with a date variable being passed.
So, my initial script, mainsftp.sh, looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Variables
#
ODAY=$1
LDIR1='/sftp/incoming'
USER1=username
MACHINE1=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
# Main
sftp -b ~/folder/sftpcmd.txt $USER1@$MACHINE1 <<EOF
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
File sftpcmd.txt looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
lcd /ftp/dir
get filename_*.csv
get filename_*.txt
bye
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now - the above code works for me and will retrieve all files filename_*.csv and filename_*.txt however, for the purposes of my job, I want to change sftpcmd to look as follows, with $ODAY being passed as $1 to the main script:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
lcd /ftp/dir
get filename_$ODAY.csv
get filename_$ODAY.txt
bye
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My question is two-fold:
a) Is there a way to have the ftp commands in the batchfile above within mainsftp.sh? or if not
b) Is there a way to pass the $ODAY variable from mainsftp.sh to sftpcmd.txt
I'm working on an AIX server.
Thanks,
Julie

sftp-server
sftp-server(1M) System Administration Commands sftp-server(1M)
NAME
sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]
DESCRIPTION
sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.
sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsys-
tem declaration. See sshd_config(4) for more information.
To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.
There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.
OPTIONS
Valid options are listed below. As stated above, these are to be specified in the Subsystem declation of sshd_config.
-f log_facility
Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0,
LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default is AUTH.
-l log_level
Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1,
DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equiva-
lent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
FILES
/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server Server-side binary.
