Shell Programming and Scripting

hi jville

i edited few things in the example you provided please correct me if i am wrong somewhere

@Corona688
I think he wants a script to automate the file transfer process , So he needs a shell script to pull out the files from the mainframe.

Thanks

yes exactly this is what i need i need to automate the file transfer by using sftp for that i need the script

Obviously. He's been given four separate usable answers to that question too, as well as plausible alternatives if sftp/scp can't work for him.

But he keeps demanding script code instead of shell code as if they're not the exact same thing, as if sftp is a special "script program" "script" code is just "shell" code put in a text file and set executable!

If there's anything more about what he expects the script to do, it's not clear at this point. The program he posted looks like a part of something larger, and isn't too informative in itself. He hasn't even told us what paths and filenames he wants transferred, whether it's one or many, whether it's always the same or should find the files or what.

You have them. Several of them. If they're insufficient, in what manner are they insufficient?

You cannot embed a password for sftp. If you want it to work noninteractively, you have to use ssh keys. To tell you how to do that we need to know more about your system(s).

@Corona688
Pardon me if I didn't get you correctly , but as he said earlier he is new comer to UNIX world so messing with acronym won't be a big problem in such situations.
Anyways his script is part from longer script.

@msandeep27
Provide us the full path to your files , So we can rewrite the script provided above

See i am not knowing what more information you want from me . i am posting the entire code only not from the middle

See everyone is providing bits of code i have already told that i totally new to unix how do you expect me to frame all those so only i am asking a sample script atleast to do so .

what information you want from me about the systems please do ask


I JUST NEED AN EXAMPLE OF AN AUTOMATED SCRIPT IN WHICH SFTP FILE TRANSFER IS DONE THAT IS ALL I NEED

---------- Post updated at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous update was at 04:13 PM ----------

the path where the file exists in the main frame server is
imp.file.file(0)
let me know if you need any more information

Which files, from where, should end up where? You already have lots and lots of them, stop begging for more. You just don't have the paths you need to use them.

I'm not playing dumb.

I'm not punishing you for something.

Actually, I'm about as puzzled as you are.

That script of yours isn't much help. There's no UNIX file paths in there. Maybe there's more in whatever system was running that program, since I doubt it ran itself -- it seems to have depended on something larger. That only might be the file name, it seems dubious. It certainly doesn't tell you or us where it is. Sorry.

Do you have shell access to the computer in question? Can you ssh in in a terminal, and try to find the file from there?
