Full Discussion: Bash to append array value to file before copying
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Bash to append array value to file before copying Post 303039787 by Corona688 on Tuesday 15th of October 2019 01:14:45 PM

This is a rather roundabout way of sending files! sshpass executing sshpass executing scp. Isn't there a better way?

Anyway, this doesn't do what you think. Each ID only gets used once. The first statement will contain the first and second ID; the second contains the third and fourth. Et cetera.

Quick fix:
Code:
for ID in "${array[@]}"
do
        echo "( cd /path/to/${ID}*/*/*/folder && exec sshpass -f file.txt scp -- *.png* xxx@xxx.xx.xx.xxx:'$dir'/folder/${ID}*-data.png )"
done 
# Test to make sure the output is what you want.  Then replace the above line with the below one.
# done | sshpass -f out.txt ssh -o strictHostKeyChecking=no -t xxx@xxx.xx.xx.xx

nbtscan

NBTSCAN(1)						      General Commands Manual							NBTSCAN(1)

NAME

       nbtscan --  program for scanning networks for NetBIOS name information

SYNOPSIS

       nbtscan	[-v]   [-d]   [-e]   [-l]   [-t  timeout]   [-b  bandwidth]   [-r]   [-q]   [-s separator]  [-h]  [-m retransmits]  [-f filename |
       scan_range]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the nbtscan command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       nbtscan is a program for scanning IP networks for NetBIOS name information. It sends NetBIOS status query to each address in supplied range
       and  lists  received information in human readable form. For each responded host it lists IP address, NetBIOS computer name, logged-in user
       name and MAC address (such as Ethernet).

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -v	 Verbose output. Print all names received from each host.

       -d	 Dump packets. Print whole packet contents. Cannot be used with -v, -s or -h options.

       -e	 Format output in /etc/hosts format.

       -l	 Format output in lmhosts format. Cannot be used with -v, -s or -h options.

       -t timeout
		 Wait timeout seconds for response. Default 1.

       -b bandwidth
		 Output throttling. Slow down output so that it uses no more that bandwidth bps.  Useful on slow links, so  that  ougoing  queries
		 don't get dropped.

       -r	 Use local port 137 for scans. Win95 boxes respond to this only.  You need to be root to use this option.

       -q	 Suppress banners and error messages.

       -s separator
		 Script-friendly output. Don't print column and record headers, separate fields with separator.

       -h	 Print human-readble names for services.  Can only be used with -v option.

       -m retransmits
		 Number of retransmits. Default 0.

       -f filename
		 Take IP addresses to scan from file "filename"

       scan_range
		 What  to  scan.  Can  either  be  single  IP  like  192.168.1.1  or range of addresses in one of two forms: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx or
		 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-xxx.

BUGS

       Report bugs to alla@sovlink.ru (that's autor of nbtscan). I cannot promise to do anything but I might well want fix it. Remember:  no  war-
       ranty.  At least it's worth what you payed for it.
