Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have to transfer the files from one unix box to abnother. Below is the function i have written -

Code:

file_ftp ()
{
  #for inFile in `cat /home/rgupta/list-test.txt`
  #do
    inFile=abc.arch.gz
     FILETYPE=$inFile
        ftp -in $GATEWAY1 <<!
        user $USERID1 $PASSWD1
        lcd $PICKUPDIR
        cd $DROPDIR1
        bin
        mput $FILETYPE
        bye
!
 #done
} >> $LOGDIR/$LOGFILE

Above code is tranfering the file abc.arch.gz from PICKUPDIR to DROPDIR1.
But when i uncomment the blue colored lines and remove green colored statement then this doen not work.

I actually need to transfer all the files which are in list-test.txt list.

Please provide me the correct way to do this.

Thanks

Please use code tags for listings, ty

Try:

Code:

file_ftp ()
{
while read inFile
do
    #inFile=abc.arch.gz
    FILETYPE=$inFile
    ftp -in $GATEWAY1 <<!
    user $USERID1 $PASSWD1
    lcd $PICKUPDIR
    cd $DROPDIR1
    bin
    mput $FILETYPE
    bye
!
done < /home/rgupta/list-test.txt
}

Also make sure the file "/home/rgupta/list-test.txt" has not any ctrl and/or dos based chars.

Further to anchal_khare.

The file "list-test.txt" should contain individual file names, none of which contain space characters or asterisk characters. Though "mput" will work for individual files, "put" is preferred. If the files are text files you will need the "ascii" option.

The list contains follwing files -

TA710005PD12270900490013070608.arch.gz
TA710005PD12270900490001070608.arch.gz
TA710005PD12270900490005070608.arch.gz
TA710005PD12270900490002070608.arch.gz

As sson as i execute teh script, I get follwoing messages/errors -

+ file_ftp
Local directory now /one/data/cdrlz/ct/arch/vodafone

Local directory now /one/data/cdrlz/ct/arch/vodafone
: No such file or directory608.arch.gz
+ getopts ovtic OPTION
+ exit 0


Files are there in /one/data/cdrlz/ct/arch/vodafone. I dont know why files names are displayed like directory608.arch.gz.

Please let me know, where can be the problem?
