Problem in redirecting ftp msgs to a log file
Hi all..
The following set of statements is used in a shell script to ftp a file to a remote machine
Quote:
if [ $LGLFLAG = "T" ]
then
echo "$Machine $Password $ctlvar"
ftp -nv $Machine <<End_of_input
user "dhc\ftp-cognew" $Password
lcd /apps/lawson/fin/data
cd /ftp-cognew
$ctlvar
bye
End_of_input
>>$TmpLogFile
else
cat $TmpCtlFile | ftp -v $Machine >> $TmpLogFile
fi
cat $TmpLogFile

ftp_status=`grep -c $Success $TmpLogFile`

if [ $ftp_status -eq 0 ]
then
echo "\nERROR: problem occurred during $Action"
I want to redirect the ftp messages thrown by the first ftp statement to a log file. As you can see there is a logic downstream to decide if the ftp was a success or not. But i am not able to do so. As you can see since i have used '>>' the ftp messages are not getting redirected. Please help me in this

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
