lftp script to connect to external sftp site and download to internal ftp and then send email
Hi there, I'm new to shell scripting and need some help if possible?
I need to create a shell script (.sh) to run as a cron job on an ubuntu linux server to connect to an external sftp sites directory using credentials (which I have) and then download to our internal ftp server and then copy off to another share which is an archive location. I would like to remove the files from the external sftp site after the data has been downloaded successfully.
After the above is complete we need the script to send a notification email showing the list of file names that have been downloaded.
I have been looking at lftp as the client for this process and have put together the following mainly just the parameters, not alot I know but it's a start and I'm still learning as I go
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# FTP settings
HOST='ftpdownload.co.uk'
USER='user'
PASSWD='password'
MNTDIREVF='download directory'
MNTARCEVF='Archive of download directory'
# Email settings
SUBJECT=" FTP Download"
EMAIL="joe.bloggs@email.co.uk"
# Other variables
DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H%M`
# Start of main script
# Connect to remote server using lftp and sync 'down'
lftp -u user,password sftp://website <<EOD
cd to_gbo
cd DMEVF
mirror --Remove-source-files /to_gbo/DMEVF
??
If anybody has experience in creating such a script and can offer any advice I would be ever so grateful.
