It depends what the receiving company is prepared to do after they "fixed" a working system that allowed Kerberos to send single files and therefore delete single files in a controlled way. Unfortunately now you want to open a single connection and move all of the files.


Another alternate would be to fire in something like into the sftp batch file:-
Code:
put localfile1 remotefile1
!rm localfile1 || kill `ps -f|grep sft[p]|cut -f3 -d " "`
put localfile2 remotefile2
!rm localfile2 || kill `ps -f|grep sft[p]|cut -f3 -d " "`
put localfile3 remotefile3
!rm localfile3 || kill `ps -f|grep sft[p]|cut -f3 -d " "`

This will cause sftp to get a kill -15 and exit with $?=1 You can then pick that up with your shell script.
i will try this one.

at the moment i had this

Code:
echo "Start of actual procedure"
echo "========================="
echo "Searching files other then ."$filetype" in "$tbtsftp" and move them to /tmp/invalid_filetype"
mkdir -p /tmp/invalid_filetype
find $tbtsftp -type f -not -name "*."$filetype -exec mv {} /tmp/invalid_filetype/ \;
echo
echo
echo "Deleting old commandlist if exists"
echo > $commandlist
echo
echo "Deleting old checkfile"
echo > $SFTPCHECK_PUT_RM
echo
echo "Creating commandlist"
echo
for FILE in `ls -tr $tbtsftp`; do
        echo "put "$FILE
        echo "cd "$remotepath_VAN >> $commandlist
        echo "put "$FILE >> $commandlist
        echo "!rm -f "$FILE
        echo "!rm -f "$FILE" | echo $? >> "$SFTPCHECK_PUT_RM  >> $commandlist
        
done

but appearantly he wont display echo $? (how it should) in my commandlist but echo 0 :s
