   mv $file_name ${file_name}.failure
fi
}
 
 
# assign values for below variables
file_name=
user_name=
password=
hostname=
 
upload
checkupload

Hi,

I have set the variables as follows.

Code:
bash-2.03# echo $hostname
97.253.98.14
bash-2.03# echo $password
postgres
bash-2.03# echo $file_name
ONLINE_WAIVER_2011052816.txt
bash-2.03# echo $user_name
postgres
bash-2.03#

I have created the 2 scripts as follows.

Code:
bash-2.03# cat f.sh
#!/bin/bash
source upload.sh
upload
bash-2.03#

and

Code:
bash-2.03# cat upload.sh
#!/bin/bash
function upload(){
  ftp $hostname
  user $user_name
  password $password
  put $file_name
  bye
}
bash-2.03#

But on running the script, I am not able to login to FTP automatically.

Code:
bash-2.03# ./f.sh
ftp> ls
Not connected.
ftp>

Thanks,
Sunil
