After that you are probably better with SFTP. Would a plain FTP (of a similar sized file) transfer in a suitable time? You say that it is sensitive, but this is just to get an idea of throughput and what is acceptable. If we can avoid compression, that saves a bit of work.

Other options depend on the tools you have available and the network access, for instance, do you have an encryption tool such as PGP? We could use this with rsh/remsh to copy the data.

It's all a bit of trying to fully understand the requirements at first along with options, limits and potential problems. I have a few ways in my head, so it's trying to pick the best avenue.



What more can you tell us?

As per the requirement, compression not required as such.
I tried using ftp as -
Code:
# Transferring latest inactive log file to another server
echo "Checking if there are inactive log files on the home directory...."
HOME_DIR=/o2/logs/weblogic/o2prl/
HOST=blx07ap09
USER=o2prlods
PASSWD=xxxxxxx
if [ `ls ${HOME_DIR}o2prl-05.log0* |wc -l` ];
then
echo "Inactive files are present"
echo "Continuing to further check the latest inactive file"
# Counting the number of inactive files
filename=`ls ${HOME_DIR}o2prl-05.log0* | tail -1`
file=`basename $filename`
# Start file transfer
ftp -i -n $HOST
user ${USER} ${PASSWD}
cd ${HOME_DIR}
put ${HOME_DIR}$file
else
echo "There are currently no inactive log files on the home directory...."
fi

However as I am new to this area, hence, this is not working.

LEARN ABOUT PHP

ftpconfig

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

NAME

       ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP

SYNOPSIS

       ftpconfig [ftpdir]

       ftpconfig -d ftpdir

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server
       by specifying the user name  ftp or anonymous and the user's email  address as password. The anonymous users  are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
       Server  and  given  access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its own minimal system
       files.

       This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the  ftp  user  account,
       creating  device  nodes,  copying  /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.  The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to
       prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server.	The anonymous file area will be placed	under  ftpdir.	If  the  ftp  user
       account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This
       command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.

OPTIONS

       -d	Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when  creating  guest
		FTP user accounts.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       ftpdir	The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion

       1	Improper usage of the command

       2	Command failed
