Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Sftp : not able to print the echo statements after the sftp transfer Post 302786459 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 27th of March 2013 01:19:35 PM

Well, SFTP is a very different client to FTP. I don't think that SFTP will accept in-stream commands (well, that's what MVS used to call them) You will need to use the batch mode of SFTP.

my-stuff.sftpb
Code:
cd /remotepath/
lcd /localpath/
mget myfiles*.csv
bye

Script
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting to sftp..."
sftp -b my-stuff.sftpb admin@myip
if [ $? -eq 0] 
then
   print "Sftp successfully.\n\nprogram ended\n"
else
   print "Sftp error.\n\nprogram abended\n"
fi

Of course, this is wholly automated, so you cannot pause for passphrase entry or anything. The server fingerprint must already be in known_hosts, but you've probably tried a manual SFTP or SSH which will establish that for you anyway.



I hope that this helps.

Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm)

NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat - Adaptor for Net::SFTP compatibility SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat; my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat->new($host); $sftp->get("foo", "bar"); $sftp->put("bar", "baz"); use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat ':supplant'; my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host); DESCRIPTION
This package is a wrapper around Net::SFTP::Foreign that provides an API (mostly) compatible with that of Net::SFTP. Methods on this package are identical to those in Net::SFTP except that Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes::Compat objects have to be used instead of Net::SFTP::Attributes. If the ":supplant" tag is used, this module installs also wrappers on the "Net::SFTP" and Net::SFTP::Attributes packages so no other parts of the program have to modified in order to move from Net::SFTP to Net::SFTP::Foreign. Setting defaults The hash %Net::SFTP::Foreign::DEFAULTS can be used to set default values for Net::SFTP::Foreign methods called under the hood and otherwise not accesible through the Net::SFTP API. The entries currently supported are: new => @opts extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign constructor. get => @opts extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::get method. put => @opts extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::put method. ls => @opts extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::ls method.
