Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi there!

Could anyone help me out with a shell script that should..
- sftp myuser@myhost
- cd public_html/misc/
- mkdir `date --date='1 day ago' +%Y_%m_%d`
- cd `date --date='1 day ago' +%Y_%m_%d`
- put /home/localuser/files/*.log
- quit

Thanks for any help

Code:

fibbl=$(date --date='1 day ago' +%Y_%m_%d)
sftp myuser@myhost << EOF
 cd public_html/misc/
 mkdir $fibbl
 cd $fibbl
 put /home/localuser/files/*.log
 quit
EOF

Note: make sure the last EOF (or whatever you use to demarcate your here document)
is in column #1 of the script. Search the forums here for 'here document' if this is new to you.

Thanks jim mcnamara!

Where do I place the password for the sftp session? It doesn't matter if the password is written directly in the script, but I've read about sftp -b passwordfile user@host, but how should the password file look like - nano passwordfile -> add my password -> save?
