Check the ind file before FTP data file....
Hi All,
I have posted this issue in the forum, but i did not get any answer. If someone knows about it, could you please let me know hoiw to do it?
i am FTP the file from one server to another. The code in FTP should first check the indicator file is available or not? For example, for the data file IN_EMP_DEPT.txt, the indicator file will be IN_EMP_DEPT.ind. If indicator file is available, it should start copying data file from remote server to local server. If not, it should wait for 5 minute and then again check for indicator.
Below is my code, which i am suing to FTP the file.
Code:
 
ftp -nvi $HOST <<"EOT" >> $LOG
quote user abc
quote pass abc
prompt
cd /XXX
lcd /common/CCC
mget IN_EMP_DEPT.txt
bye
EOT

ftpusers

FTPUSERS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       FTPUSERS(5)

NAME

       ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon

DESCRIPTION

       The  text  file	ftpusers  contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.  This file is
       used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked	environment.   It  will  typically
       contain	a  list  of  the  users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
       server daemon.  Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news.  If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers  then  it	is
       suggested  that	you  read  its	documentation  to find out how to block access for certain users.  Washington University FTP server Daemon
       (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.

   Format
       The format of ftpusers is very simple.  There is one account name (or username) per line.  Lines starting with a # are ignored.

FILES

       /etc/ftpusers

SEE ALSO

       passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8)
