SFTP Script fails to transmit the file
I have written a Unix Script to automate the process of File transfer from Our server to vendor Server but the automation Script fail when Progress meter is around 65-70% Complete. Why is this haapening?

See the Log File Contenet:
Code:
spawn sftp -o IdentityFile=/home/lawsched/ah_rsa XXX@YYY.com
Connecting to YYY.com
SSH Server supporting SFTP and SCP
sftp> cd /INBOUND
sftp> put /law/hrprdir/CTXX453_20121018

When I tried Manuall, File is transmitted. This issue happens only when using the Script.

Please advice.

Thanks

elixir Sinari:- Thanks for your quick response. I have no problem Transmitting the file Manually but it fails when I use the Script.

I believe your problem is spawn - it has a daemon that will time out a process.
Look on your man page - there are two possible timers involved, if I remember correctly.

Consider using a here document:

Code:
sftp -o IdentityFile=/home/lawsched/ah_rsa XXX@YYY.com <<EOF
 cd /INBOUND
 put /law/hrprdir/CTXX453_20121018
 exit
EOF

Note the last EOF is in the leftmost column.

Simply you can use this.
Code:
ssh -x servername@ipadress
sftp> cd /INBOUND
sftp> put /law/hrprdir/CTXX453_20121018

Jim Mcnamara: - Thanks for your response. I changed my script to reflect
sftp -o IdentityFile=/home/lawsched/ah_rsa XXX@YYY.com <<EOF

Since I already Transmitted the file and since it is a Weekly transmit, I have to wait till next transmit to see if this resolves the issues. I will let you know the outcome of this change.

Adhi:- It's not working

SSH Server supporting SFTP and SCP
Connection to XXX@YYY.com closed.

Thanks for your effort.

@adhi -
Your code does not enable the sftp protocol. It is just an ssh connection without x11 forwarding.
