Issue with using While loop
Hi,

I am trying to move a file from remote server to local server and when the transfer completes successfully i call a script in remote server to remove the file which was successfully transferred.

I do this by first getting the list of file in remote server and move the text file to local server and read the text file line by line using while loop and scp the file and on successful transfer remove the file by calling a script which is in remote server (script has chmod + rm command).

The issue is that when there are multiple files in the server this process runs only for the first file. But when i comment out the line which calls the script to remove the files in remote server all the files are processed.

Please help.

Thanks
Guru

copy the files from remote to local server ( this will copy all the files present in the myfiles folder)
Code:
1) scp user@remote-server:/abc/myfiles/* /path/to/local/server/

remove the remote server files (which is transferred)
Code:
2) ssh user@remote-server "rm -rf /abc/myfiles/*"

Below is my script,

Code:

if [ -s $COPY_FILES_LIST ]; then
    rm $COPY_FILES_LIST
fi

DUMMY=`ssh -l $FTP_USER $FTP_HOST /home/ftpuser/get_test_file.sh`
sudo scp -p $FTP_USER@$FTP_HOST:/home/ftpuser/test_files_list.txt $COPY_FILES_LIST

fileCount=`wc -l < $COPY_FILES_LIST`

    myFile=$COPY_FILES_LIST
    while read line
    do 

        I_CLI_CODE="`print $line | cut -f5 -d'/'`"
    
        if echo $I_CLI_CODE | egrep -q '^[0-9]+$'; then

if you comment the DUMMY line, then is it working ?

change it as below and give a try
Code:
 
DUMMY=$(ssh -l $FTP_USER $FTP_HOST "/home/ftpuser/remove_test_files.sh $I_CLI_CODE $ftpfilename $file")
