FTP script error in BASH
Hi All,

I have a script which is supposed to connect to Windows machine and FTP a file into LINUX.

Script is like below
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
ParamterFle=${1}
//grepping all parameters
BossFtpLog=${2}
// assigning log file
ftp -i -n host_name << EOF
user1
password1
cd /drive1/drive2
get file1 file1
EOF
exit 0

If I run all these commands on command prompt one after the other, they are running fine and getting the file as i expected but if i run above script, it is getting abort with the following errors
Code:
'AUTH GSSAPI': command not understood
'AUTH KERBEROS_V4': command not understood
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
?Invalid command
?Invalid command
Please login with USER and PASS.

I can't understand where I am going wrong, Can any one please help me?

Your script environment isn't the same as your interactive environment.

One thing I see is that you probably use csh or tcsh as your interactive shell. Stop doing that, it will melt your brain.

// is not a valid comment indicator in sh.

The ftp that's being used in your script may or may not be the same as you're using in your interactive shell.

vgersh99,

I did the same thing. It is giving the error as below

Code:
'AUTH GSSAPI': command not understood
'AUTH KERBEROS_V4': command not understood
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
?Invalid command
Please login with USER and PASS.

I think that kodak has it.
What version of unix do you have?
From the unix command prompt, what is the result of these commands.

Code:
type ftp

whence ftp

alias | grep "ftp"

echo $SHELL


What did you type to run your script?
What is your script called? (It's not called "ftp" I hope).


Also what is the Windows version on the target server and what ftp client is running?

methyl,

When I run below commands here is the output
type ftp
ftp is hashed (/usr/kerberos/bin/ftp)

Code:
whence ftp
-sh: whence: command not found
alias | grep "ftp"
echo $SHELL
/bin/sh

I am calling my script as sh script1.sh

Target is Wondows Nt machine and it also having the same FTP I think. Since if I run same ftp script with PUT command from that machine, it is working fine only problem is when I run the script from LINUX machine with get command.

Are you sure that this is Linux? Your post title mentions "bash" but you are actually running an old "sh".

To find out Operating Systems version for unix or Linux:
Code:
uname -a

To find out Windows version:
From a command prompt:
Code:
ver


The failed ftp is trying to use Kerberos authentication which is not normal in this context. This is getting complicated.
