Simple Script to do so?
hi guys, i am a noob to shell scripting, and i would like to run a simple script, that could simply do the following: 1. SFTP to a remote server/path...and download the newest *.gz backup file on that server. (there are many *.gz files in that folder, i simply need the latest one) 2. locally unpack the received file.which contains an .sql backup 3. rename it locally to "backup.sql" and import it into mysql ( this is not the problematic part, i can do that). how can i do it best, and with least lines? Thanks in advance.
