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 302495944 by aix-guy on Friday 11th of February 2011 03:48:29 PM

hmmmm ok lets take the bonus first yes you can:
Code:
if {$count < 0} {
   puts "count is less than zero"
} elseif {$count > 0 {
   puts "count is greater than zero"
} else {
   puts "count is equal to zero"
}

Now for the result of the sftp
I would be looking to output all the results to a separate log file.
the expect call would be done from a shell script and it could call
a expect script file.
so something like
Code:
  if [ some test in the shell ]
  else
     echo "Setting password for $x"
      expect -f ./chpass.exp $x $1 $2 $3 > $gd_log
     res=`egrep "Enter the new password again:" $gd_log |wc -l`
  fi

so we call a expect script that outputs to a logger the we start
checking the log for conditions we want and make decisions.

As for sftp there is a list of commands that is allows:
Code:
cd path
lcd path
chgrp grp path
chmod mode path
chown own path
help
df [-hi] [path]
lls [ls-options [path]]
ln oldpath newpath
lmkdir path
lpwd
ls [path]
lumask umask
mkdir path
progress
put local-path [remote-path]
pwd
exit
quit
rename oldpath newpath
rmdir path
rm path
symlink oldpath newpath
version
!command
!
?

when I did a sftp here is what returned.
Code:
sftp> put test.log
Uploading test.log to /test.log
test.log                                      100%   69KB  68.9KB/s   00:01

then a second call for during the ftp for this
Code:
sftp> !sum test.log
15078    69 test.log

then parse the log for the line and check the sum size of the file you sent
and be sure they are the same.

But if windows servers then this may not work.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.
