Hi All,
i am newbie to the unix and i found the posts for automate ftp ,but i didnt get how we can achieve ,selecting the path during runtime for automate ftp.basically i want to ftp the files to workstation(directory should be given during runtime).
i have tried the codes from the post,but i when i try to give the path through runtime,the directory path is not set,
DATE=`date '+%d_%m_%Y'`
FILE=xxx${DATE}.dmp
echo "----------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "Starting FTP Process"
echo "Starting FTP Process" >> xxx${DATE}.txt
echo " Please Enter the local Directory for put the Dump ::"
read DIRECTORY
echo " Local Directory for putting the Dump :: "${DIRECTORY}""
echo "File Name For taking the Dump is ::${FILE}"
ftp -n xxx <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER xxx
quote PASS xxx
bin
hash
lcd "$DIRECTORY"
get $FILE
bye
END_SCRIPT
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "FTP Status of Backup for xxx :: SUCESS"
echo "FTP Status of Backup for xxx :: SUCESS" >> xxx${DATE}.txt
else
echo "FTP Status of Backup for xxx :: FAILED"

echo(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands echo(1B)
NAME
echo - echo arguments to standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]
DESCRIPTION
echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.
echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
ronment variables.
For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:
o echo your current-working-directory's full pathname
o pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters
o pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.
example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"
See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.
The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be invoked if
the user calls echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the black-slashed escape characters, and ksh's
echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.
OPTIONS
-n Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
