Question Track Sftp process
Hi,

I am using sftp in my bash script.
I wanted to know whether if there is any way that we can track whether sftp has been successful or not..

Does sftp return any codes?

Thanks in adv

that is what I am looking for
That is what I am looking for!


did any body have any clue, let me explain more:

We used to "push" files to other servers and we "must" assure that the file FTPed Successfully. To do this we have done FTP output forwarding and we "grep" for the returned coded , mainly "226"..


is that applicable with SFTP? Smilie

I assume that you are looking for any sort of verification. Maybe you could use this?
Code:
sftp -b /path/to/sftp_batch_file user@host | tee -a /some/log/file

Your logfile will have details of whether the file was transferred successfully or not. You can grep for the output in there. This is not tested.

Thanks for help, I did not test it either.
regardless of the command above, is there any "written in books" return codes that tells what is the ( kind of ) status after we fired sFTP command!?

The use of log files is great if you sit there and watch the job run but, if it run at night and it preceeds other jobs that require it to be successful, a log file is 'not' an answer. What is needed is that the job abort if the sftp (or ftp) is not successful.

This will not tell exactly what was the failure cause (i.e. login failed, disk space is full ...etc), is that true?
