Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I'm new to shell script..I have one requriement like -

In one server have more than one files,I want to ftp those files to some otehr server..

Ex : test1.pdf
test2.pdf


Please suggest me how to do

If there is the man or manual pages installed on your system, try entering

Code:

man ftp

and read the manual carefully. There is also plenty of documentation in the internet.

ftp has a command called mput which can transfer multiple files at once using wildcards. If you want to get files from the other server, check out mget. Try that out.

When you enter the command ftp it starts the ftp client with it's own prompt. At the prompt enter help to get a list of all available commands. Enter help mput to get a short description.

On most ftp implementations you need to launch ftp with the -i switch for mput/mget to work.

Code:

ftp -i <nodename>

or

Code:

ftp -i <ip address>

You can then use mput and mget with wildcards.

Aye, or type prompt at the client's prompt to turn the interactive mode off.
