i tried below script:
Code:
log=/opt/app/vertica/cdr/tmp/hpcom/sftp.txt
LOGINID=abc
HOST=sftp2.xyz.com
echo "starting ftp & sftp...." > $log
ftp -i -n -v $HOST <<-EOFtp >$log
user $LOGINID $PASSWD
bye
EOFtp
rc=$?
if [[ $rc = 0 ]]; then
echo "Successful ftp...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"` >> $log
else
sftp  $LOGINID@$HOST<<EOF > $log
#cd $DIR
#get $FILE
bye
EOF
rc1=$?
if [[ $rc1 != 0 ]]; then
    echo "Error occured...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"` >> $log
else
 echo "Successful sftp...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"` >> $log
fi
fi

In above code my script is not working as it should actually...below is the output of log file

"Not connected.
Successful ftp...0 2014-01-30-10.03.06"

It clearly shows that ftp is not happening on this host so ideally it shuold try doing sftp but its not coming to sftp syntax rather its coming out of script...

Please suggest where i am going wrong..

NAME
simpleftp - rudimentary ftp client SYNOPSIS
simpleftp ftp://... [ ... ] DESCRIPTION
simpleftp is a perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion. It takes one or more ftp URLS on the command line. The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename as on the remote; i.e., ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz is stored as active.gz in the current directory. BUGS
simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities. It was written only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/ without requir- ing administrators to install yet another package. Its shortcomings as a general purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that simpleftp does not understand the complete syntax of URLs, only the hostname and pathname parts -- it will not under- stand username, password, port or parameter strings.
