Script to SCP a file to multiple servers
Hi All,

I am a total noob to the Unix world, and i hope to learn a lot from this wonderful community. Here's my first post and question , i am trying to SCP a file to multiple servers (multiple destinations) through this little script :

#!/bin/ksh
# copy files

# File to be copied
FILE="/tmp/$1"
LOCATION="/tmp/"

check()

{
if [ -f $FILE ]

then

echo "File found,preparing to transfer"

else

echo "File not found "

exit 0

}

while read server; do

scp -p $FILE $server:$LOCATION

done < server.txt

The server.txt contains the list of destination servers, and $1 takes the 'filename' as a parameter, for whatever the reason, everytime i run the script i get bumped with an error :

./sctest[8]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 24 : `}' is not expected.

I tried removing the braces, that didn't help either. Please advise.

ECACCESS-FILE-PUT(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     ECACCESS-FILE-PUT(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-put - Upload a File on the ECaccess File System

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-put -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-put [-debug] [-progress] [-umask mode] [-offset number] [-bufsize length] source-local-file [target-ecaccess-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Allow uploading source-local-file on the ECaccess File System. If no target-ecaccess-file is specified then the source-local-file name is
       used.

       The target-ecaccess-file is in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File Management" section of the
       "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ARGUMENTS

       source-local-file
	       The name of the source Local File.

       target-ecaccess-file (optional)
	       The name of the target ECaccess File.

OPTIONS

       -progress
	       Provide a progress meter on the standard terminal, allowing to monitor the file transmission in real-time. The progress bar is
	       removed from the terminal when the transmission is done. This option is not supported and ignored on Windows platforms.

       -umask mode
	       The user file-creation mode mask (umask) is used to determine the file permission for newly created files. The default value is
	       640.

       -offset number
	       Every open file has an associated file offset, which determines where the next read operation will start. This number is set to 0
	       by default.

       -bufsize length
	       Specify the length of the buffer (in bytes) which is used to upload the file.  The larger the buffer the smaller the number of
	       http/s requests. By default a buffer of 10485760 bytes(10MB) is used.

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-file-put $HOME/bin/a.out

       Upload the local $HOME/bin/a.out File in the $HOME directory of the authenticated user. The Target File Name is a.out.

       ecaccess-file-put $HOME/bin/a.out c1a:/tmp/a2.out

       Upload the local $HOME/bin/a.out File in the tmp directory of c1a. The Target File Name is a2.out.
