Full Discussion: For looping on FTP
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users For looping on FTP Post 302593138 by methyl on Wednesday 25th of January 2012 08:09:19 PM

It is impossible to determine what the script writer intended from this code.

To be quite blunt the script as posted does nothing except output strings to the screen using "print" statements. None of the command lines (except the "for") do anything useful. The "put" command is a "ftp" command but the script does not run the "ftp" program or even mention another server (e.g. the server to receive the data files).

Please post sample input and sample output, and a brief but well-written description of the process which turns sample input into sample output?

When working with files which have the same name, consider where we are transfer such files and what to do if there is already a file with the same name on the target server. Do we need to re-create the same directory tree on the target server?

SIMPLEFTP(1)						      General Commands Manual						      SIMPLEFTP(1)

NAME

       simpleftp - rudimentary ftp client

SYNOPSIS

       simpleftp ftp://...  [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       simpleftp  is  a perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion.  It takes one or more ftp
       URLS on the command line.  The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same  basename
       as on the remote; i.e., ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz is stored as active.gz in the current directory.

BUGS

       simpleftp  is  an  extremely  poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities.  It was written
       only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/ without requir-
       ing administrators to install yet another package.  Its shortcomings as a general purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that
       stands out is that simpleftp does not understand the complete syntax of URLs, only the hostname and pathname parts -- it  will  not  under-
       stand username, password, port or parameter strings.

HISTORY
