Stuck again
Hi Robin,

Some more things I want to clarify (I tried googling too but it got me more confused).
1) - I want to transfer file from location /o2/logs/weblogic/o2prl/ from server blx28ap05.
2) - My shell script is in location /o2/home/n412426 on blx28ap05
3) - I want to transfer file to server blx07ap09 on location /o2/home.

I want to try ftp first (as I am just testing this now) after that I'll try sftp when I'll prepare this for live data.

Okay, well first we should check that /o2/home/n412426 is on your search path:-
echo $PATH
The output will be a list of directories separated by colons. If the above is your home/default directory then it may well be in the list already. You can extend the search list with:-
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/o2/home/n412426

or
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME

... if it is your home directory.
Assuming that you have write permission to /o2/home on blx07ap09, then the following should get you going:-
Code:
ftp -n blx07ap09 <<-EOFTP > /tmp/myftp.log
user $userid
$password
cd /o2/home
put $filename
EOFTP
echo "Finished FTP with return code $?"

You may need to adjust this by putting the password to the end of the previous line. The EOFTP must only be indented by tab characters, not spaces. The output will be caught in /tmp/myftp.log

You can change the target filename by appending it to the end of the put statement if you wish.


I hope that this gets you going enough for now. If it doesn't work, could you post back the messages it returns.

Hi Robin,

I amended the script as you suggested.
But now when I do "./script_name", I only get the following -
Code:
Checking if there are inactive log files on the home directory....
Inactive files are present
Continuing to further check the latest inactive file
Latest inactive file is o2prl-05.log00427
Starting transfer of file o2prl-05.log00427

and then nothing and when I press cntrl+C, it gives output as -
Code:
Finished FTP with return code 0"

The file that is currently to be transferred is -
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 o2prladm o2     5634 May  8 16:22 o2prl-05.log00427

Seems like I am making script using my ID (n412426) and the file that needs to be transferred is in o2prladm user.
I've checked and verified that the destination directory has write access to my account n412426.

Thanks and Regards,
Rohit

Perhaps you need a quit before the EOFTP. Did you get anything in the log file? Smilie

There is nothing in the log file..it is empty..Smilie
I've put quit before EOFTP and now the whole script looks like -
Smilie
Code:
# Transferring latest inactive log file to another server
echo "Checking if there are inactive log files on the home directory...."
HOME_DIR=/o2/logs/weblogic/o2prl/
HOST=blx19au01
USER=n412426
PASSWD=xxxxxx
if [ `ls ${HOME_DIR}o2prl-05.log0* |wc -l` ];
then
echo "Inactive files are present"
echo "Continuing to further check the latest inactive file"
# Counting the number of inactive files
filename=`ls ${HOME_DIR}o2prl-05.log0* | tail -1`
file=`basename $filename`
echo "Latest inactive file is $file"
# Start file transfer
echo "Starting transfer of file $file"
ftp -n $HOST <<-EOFTP > /o2/home/n412426/myftp.log
user ${USER}
${PASSWD}
cd /o2/home/n412426/
put $file
quit
EOFTP
echo "Finished FTP with return code $?"
else
echo "There are currently no inactive log files on the home directory...."
fi

Smilie

NOTE : I've changes host to blx19au01 as my ID (n412426) has access to my home directory (/o2/home/n412426).

I would therefore assume that it's waiting for the password to be typed. Try putting it on the same list as the userid:-
Code:
...
...
ftp -n $HOST <<-EOFTP > /o2/home/n412426/myftp.log
user ${USER}  ${PASSWD}
cd /o2/home/n412426/
...
...

... and see if that helps.

Code:
Checking if there are inactive log files on the home directory....
Inactive files are present
Continuing to further check the latest inactive file
Latest inactive file is o2prl-05.log00427
Starting transfer of file o2prl-05.log00427
ftp: connect: Connection timed out
