Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Picking up last two specific files, for transfer Post 303019278 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 26th of June 2018 08:46:45 AM

You could remove the OPEN command by putting the hostname on the ftp line:-
Code:
/usr/bin/ftp -inv $ HOST <<EOF

The files you have are local (your client sends) so work them out before starting the FTP.

Would you not be better with tail?

Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Determine files first
D_file=$(ls -1 *Deposit_*" | tail -1)
W_file=$(ls -1 *Withdrawal_*" | tail -1)

# Call the FTP
HOST=192.168.6.25
USER=rico
PASSWD=123xyz
/usr/bin/ftp -inv $HOST <<EOF
user $USER $PASSWD
binary
cd /home/scripts/Live deposits/input
put "$D_file"
cd /home/script/Live withdrawal/input
put "$W_file"
bye
EOF

Does that help? If it doesn't work, please post your output/errors.



Kind regards,
Robin

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.
