Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need to automate sftp and always get the latest file Post 302924798 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 12th of November 2014 12:12:23 PM

Can you generate and exchange SSH keys? It will make the whole thing much simpler. Eventually, you probably need a three step process:-
  1. SFTP list all the relevant remote files
  2. Determine the file you want to get
  3. SFTP get the file

If you exchange SSH keys then the SFTP steps become much easier.
