Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting FTP run from shell script gives slow transfer rates Post 302304959 by Countificus on Tuesday 7th of April 2009 04:13:47 PM

When I run the script or run ftp manually, I have a PuTTY session open to the destination server and directory so that I can see the progress. From the script it takes approximately 6 minutes to transfer 1GB of data. When run interactively 1GB transfers in about 40 seconds.

Everything should be the same. FTP works from the script, it just behaves like it has been throttled. One more thing I thought of, our production server runs a script every 3 minutes during the first 10 days of the month that polls for ftp connections where data files are being submitted by our customers. I wonder if the previous admin (who did not document anything Smilie) added something to the config which is throttling the bandwidth on non-interactive ftp connections?

What exactly does set-x do? I am pretty green, but I am catching on fast. I was a Windoze AD and Exchange admin for 10 years before I got this job and have been in the UNIX world for about 6 months.

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

NAME
ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP SYNOPSIS
ftpconfig [ftpdir] ftpconfig -d ftpdir DESCRIPTION
The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server by specifying the user name ftp or anonymous and the user's email address as password. The anonymous users are logged on to the FTP Server and given access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has its own minimal system files. This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the ftp user account, creating device nodes, copying /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data. The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server. The anonymous file area will be placed under ftpdir. If the ftp user account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded. OPTIONS
-d Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when creating guest FTP user accounts. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: ftpdir The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion 1 Improper usage of the command 2 Command failed ATTRIBUTES
