Automated FTP script using .netrc to multiple FTP servers
Hi all,
I'm using the following script to automated ftp files to 1 ftp servers
host=192.168.0.1
/usr/bin/ftp -vi >> $bkplog 2>&1 <<ftp
open $host
bin
cd ${directory}
put $files
quit
ftp
and the .netrc file contain
machine 192.168.0.1
login abc
password 12345
What i would like to achieve is to ftp files to more target servers.
The easiest option would be to add the second server in .netrc
machine 192.168.0.1
login abc
password 12345
machine 192.168.0.2
login ab
password 12345
and modify the script
host=192.168.0.1
host1=192.168.0.2
/usr/bin/ftp -vi >> $bkplog 2>&1 <<ftp
open $host
bin
cd ${directory}
put $files ${files##*/}
quit
ftp
/usr/bin/ftp -vi >> $bkpg 2>&1 <<ftpj
open $host1
bin
cd ${directory}
put $files ${files##*/}
quit
ftpj
Can you think of another solution of changing the script, let's say
if host1 is set than use
/usr/bin/ftp -vi >> $bkpg 2>&1 <<ftpj
open $host1 & $host
bin
cd ${directory}
put $files ${files##*/}
quit
ftpj
if not use only
/usr/bin/ftp -vi >> $bkpg 2>&1 <<ftpj
open & $host
bin
cd ${directory}
put $files ${files##*/}
quit
ftpj
Regards

Hi folks. I am writing a ksh ftp script. The problem is, I need to transfer the files to several different servers. Is there a way to close a connection and move on to the next in one script or do I need to write a separate script for each one?
