I am using the following code in a C Shell script to transfer files to a remote server:
This code works great except on those rare occasions when the remote server is down or, for whatever reason, fails. This causes my code to fail and makes my already tense users angry. This code runs on both Unix and Linux. Is there a way to force a retry after a specified time period if there is a failure of the ftp command? Also, is there a way to make the hash mark print at something other than every 8192 bytes (something more like every GB)?
Hi there,
I am in the process of writing a shell script to transfer files to a remote directory. Is there a method to determine the success or the failure of the ftp process.
Regards
