Full Discussion: Copy down remote files and rename them to include the server name with full path
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Copy down remote files and rename them to include the server name with full path Post 302763133 by asnatlas on Tuesday 29th of January 2013 03:07:36 PM
Old 01-29-2013
Very odd... When I tested this out on Jan 15th it worked just fine... I try to run it today and I get the following error:

scp: ambiguous target

When I check the cmd it appears to be adding a : to the end of the line / filename
I am getting the following:
/path/filename: No such file or directory

My current script is :

Code:
#!/bin/bash
set -x

OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=":"
while read server filepath
do
  scp -t "$server:$filepath" $server${filepath//\//_}
done < new.list
IFS=$OLDIFS

Any ideas ??

       e.g. is it a file, a directory, a pipe etc.

Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   zipios::FilePath::FilePath (const string &path = '', boolcheck_exists = false)
       Constructor. Parameters:
	   path A string representation of the path.
	   check_exists If true is specified the constructor will check the existence and type of the path immidiately, instead of deferring that
	   task until it is needed.

       Definition at line 18 of file filepath.cpp.

   void zipios::FilePath::check () const [protected]
       This function sets _checked to true, stats the path, to see if it exists and to determine what type of file it is. All the query functions
       check if _checked is true, and if it isn't they call check(). This means stat'ing is deferred until it becomes necessary.
