[Solved] SFTP problem
Hi,

I'm new to sh scripting and have the following problem. I have a script to sftp that is now working with ssh key. But i need to change this, i wan't to sftp with a password. I have the following script, tried a lot to make a variabel for the password. But i can't make it work
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
## exit codes
## exit 5: There was a problem creating SFTPlist
## exit 6: There was a problem creating the commandlist
## exit 4: There was a problem executing the sftp commandlist
echo
echo "Exit codes explaination"
echo "======================="
echo "exit 5: There was a problem creating the SFTPlist"
echo "exit 6: There was a problem creating the commandlist"
echo "exit 4: There was a problem executing the sftp commandlist or there were no files"
## variables
FTPuser=$1
FTPserver=$2
FTPdir=$3
SFTPpath=$4

Anybody any ideas?

Thx in advance.

What you show us here is only variables initialization, I see no code... difficult to guess what your issue is...
