Shell FTP script to send all files to different path
Hello to all in forum

I hope you can help me.

I want to send via FTP to a linux server the 2 kind of files that are in the same folder, as follow:

1- Send all files that are named verified.SomeString.zz.pttp to path /var/verified
2- Send all files where the name begins with verified.conf to path/etc
PD: I have the IP address, user and password of the server.

Any help would be appreciatted.

Regards

I assume your host is also Unix or similar OS.
Try something like..

Code:
cd to/the/directory
ftp -ivn XX.XXX.XXX.XXX <<END
cd /var/verified
put verified.*.zz.pttp
cd  /etc
ascii
put verified.conf
bye
END

If the *pttp are also ascii file, place the ascii before the first put.

Although its not tested but you can have idea of how to ftp.

Hello clx, many thanks for your help,

For some reason the user and password didnt work or something,
bur finally works for me combining your solution with another script I found and
using mput in order to be able to use wildcards too.

Code:
#!/bin/bash -xv
USER='user'
PASSWD='password'

ftp -in <<EOD
open X.X.X.X
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
bin
cd /etc
mput verified.conf*
bin
cd /var/named
mput verified.*.pttp
quit
EOD
#exit 0

Best regards

Sorry, I forgot to provide user/password line in the code.
It should be like this

Code:
cd to/the/directory
ftp -ivn XX.XXX.XXX.XXX <<END
user $USER $PASSWD
cd /var/verified
put verified.*.zz.pttp
cd  /etc
ascii
put verified.conf
bye
END
