Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Download files every one second using ftp script Post 302813579 by jim mcnamara on Monday 27th of May 2013 04:03:44 PM

Does Svr1 support inotify(is it Linux?)

You should NOT poll for files as you are doing things. Svr1 knows when a local file is closed, it is hard to do that reliably using ftp from a remote connection.

Set up a file watch on Svr1, have it move files to a special subdirectory. Any file in that subdirectory is complete and ready to ftp. Run ftp once per minute - have it list files in that special subdirectory. Use the output of that as an input list of files to grab.

Running ftp every second is a disaster waiting to happen. Consider something else.
