Full Discussion: Mget with SFTP is not working
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Mget with SFTP is not working Post 303011870 by RudiC on Wednesday 24th of January 2018 04:58:52 PM
Old 01-24-2018
Running my sftp (OpenSSH_7.5p1 Ubuntu-10ubuntu0.1, OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016), for an mget without a path I receive
Code:
sftp> mget
You must specify at least one path after a mget command.

It seems to recognise mget although it's not mentioned in man sftp, mayhap for compatibility reasons. For get it says:
Quote:
remote-path may contain glob(3) characters and may match multiple files.
So get may have taken the place of mget.
What does your man sftp say about the availability of mget?

Try get with wildcards instead.

ECACCESS-FILE-MGET(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MGET(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-mget - Download Multiple ECaccess Files at once

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-mget -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-mget [-debug] [-progress] [-force] [-bufsize length] source-ecaccess-file [...] target-local-directory

DESCRIPTION

       Allow downloading Multiple ECaccess Files at once in the specified target-local-directory.

       Each source-ecaccess-file is in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File Management" section of the
       "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

       Please note this command is not recursive and will only download the plain-files in the source-ecaccess-file directory (sub-directories are
       ignored).

ARGUMENTS

       source-ecaccess-file [...]
	       The name(s) of the source ECaccess File(s).

       target-local-directory
	       The name of the target Local Directory.

OPTIONS

       -progress
	       Provide a progress meter on the standard terminal, allowing to monitor the file transmission in real-time. The progress bar is
	       removed from the terminal when the transmission is done. This option is not supported and ignored on Windows platforms.

       -force  Overrides the interactive mode and download each file without prompting.

       -bufsize length
	       Specify the length of the buffer (in bytes) which is used to download the files.  The larger the buffer the smaller the number of
	       http/s requests. By default a buffer of 1048576 bytes(1MB) is used.

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.
