[Solved] Need help in editing a script
Hi,
I have one script in my cronjob, which is fetching file from a ftp site and making a copy with today's date and time. This is a new setup. There was a instance when test_bill.txt was not present on ftp.xxxx_xxxx.com and when this job ran and did not fetched file, still it send mail of successful status to indocs_user@scrach.com (SFTP file transfer is successfull for file test_bill.txt)
Code:
#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.xxxx_xxxx.com'
USER='user_1'
FILE='test_bill.txt'
sftp $USER@$HOST <<END_SCRIPT
 get $FILE
END_SCRIPT
if [ $? != 0 ];then
   echo "SFTP file transfer is failed for file $FILE" |mailx indocs_user@scrach.com
else
echo "SFTP file transfer is successfull for file $FILE" |mailx indocs_user@scrach.com
cp $FILE $FILE.`date +%m%d%y`
fi

Below is the output
Code:
sftp> get toyota_bill.txt
Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory
File "/test_bill.txt" not found.

I want, if this cronjob is fail to fetch file, it should send mail. Can somebody help in editing this script ?

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no

	   The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
	   make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
	   by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
