Wow.. that's lot of learning from just few interaction..

Quote:

Code:
ftp <<EOF
cd /remote/incomplete
put localfilename
rename /remote/incomplete/uploadedfile /remote/complete/uploadedfile

This prevents partial uploads from appearing in /remote/complete. If the connection is broken early, the file will never get renamed.

Then you can get the directory listing from /remote/complete to see if the file you wanted is in it.

Quote:
A. Using FTP method :- Will it not be possible to verify the file transferred and can the restart ability of the script be not achievable?
It will require brute force.
Connect with FTP, saving all output to a file.
Get directory listing.
Quit.
Process directory listing in script to remove all lines except the directory listing.
Check if the directory listing contains the file you uploaded.

That sort of thing.
This is what I understood.

Step 1. Open a Control channel & data channel.. put the file
Step 2. Create a nlist to get the info of files transferred (if any other way please let me know)
Step 3. Quit
Step 4. Compare the nlist output and the list of files that was supposed to be transferred. If not transfer only rest of the files.


Please advise if any discrepancy in above steps using FTP method



Using SFTP method:

U said its interactive, may I please request you to give me examples or example scripts or few links for example/ to learn.

Also tell me the steps here

More over for SFTP should we use only port 21 or the same control port used for FTP can be used to connect to Mainframe. (Asking this question because I am not able to connect to mainframe using sftp)

Code:
sftp -oPort=12345 '@MUSR'@mainframe.server

not connecting or not prompting for password.

SIMPLEFTP(1)						      General Commands Manual						      SIMPLEFTP(1)

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.

HISTORY

       Tossed off by David C Lawrence <tale@isc.org> for InterNetNews.
