Get the remote server file size in UNIX
Hi All,

I am trying to sftp, get a file from remote server.
Post this we need to check the remote server file size or checksum value of the remote server file and compare it with the file size in the current server.

But I am facing issue to get the remote server file size. Could you please help me on this.
System: Sun OS 5.10
I have tried below approaches but is not working out:

1)
Code:
 sftp user@hostname << EOF
ls -l filename > filesize.txt
get filesize.txt
EOF

Gives error as couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory

2)
Code:
ssh user@hostname "ls -l filename"

Doesn't give output as the unix prompt doesn't come back and need to kill the connection.

Could you please help me on this.

Thanks

I have resolved using below:

Code:
sftp user@hostname << EOF>/path/remote_size.txt
ls -l filename
EOF

zos-remote.conf

ZOS-REMOTE.CONF(5)					  System Administration Utilities					ZOS-REMOTE.CONF(5)

NAME

       zos-remote.conf - the audisp-racf plugin configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       zos-remote.conf	controls  the  configuration  for the audispd-zos-remote(8) Audit dispatcher plugin. The default location for this file is
       /etc/audisp/zos-remote.conf, however, a different file can be specified as the first argument to the audispd-zos-remote	plugin.  See  aud-
       ispd-zos-remote(8) and auditd(8).  The options available are as follows:

       server This is the IBM z/OS ITDS server hostname or IP address

       port   The port number where ITDS is running on the z/OS server. Default is 389 (ldap port)

       user   The  z/OS RACF user ID which the audispd-zos-remote plugin will use to perform Remote Audit requests. This user needs READ access to
	      FACILITY Class resource IRR.LDAP.REMOTE.AUDIT (See audispd-zos-remote(8)).

       password
	      The password associated the the z/OS user ID configured above.

       timeout
	      The number in seconds that audispd-zos-remote plugin will wait before giving up in connection attempts and  event  submissions.  The
	      default value is 15

       q_depth
	      The audispd-zos-remote plugin will queue inputed events to the maximum of q_depth events while trying to submit those remotely. This
	      can handle burst of events or in case of a slow network connection. However, the audispd-zos-remote plugin will drop events in  case
	      the  queue  is  full.  The default queue depth is 64 - Increase this value in case you are experiencing event drop due to full queue
	      (audispd-zos-remote will log this to syslog).
