Full Discussion: Verify file was sftp'd via bash script
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Verify file was sftp'd via bash script Post 302495897 by Tiberius777 on Friday 11th of February 2011 02:24:06 PM

No, I don't have control of that server. The issue shown above is an anomaly that just happened. I showed it for an example. When I sftp a file is there a return code (especially in that situation above) that I can set a flag on to send me an email that it didn't complete correctly.
It looks to me that - and I'm not sure - but the above error would return ok; it started and it finished. That script is called from another script that does a lot of other things, so that script doesn't hang on that.

So, I guess what I'm asking is -- Is there a way to verify that the file was sent to the other server?

Bonus question:
In the script above, can you put an "if" statement in the code to detect, with expect say - "(yes/no)?" if true answer "yes" if false continue with the log in?

Also, I'm pretty sure you're right about multiple servers attaching to the same Aix-guy. Fast overview, that server is used in our D.R. process and we upload current info on backup tapes etc to it everyday.

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname

       -r realm, --realm=realm
