Shell Programming and Scripting

hi

i want to scp files from remote server B to my local server A...

and i have a file containing list of all files to be scped from remote server B

there is a passwordless connectivity set between remote server and my local server.

need a ksh script.. with a for loop that goes through the file and scp-s all the files
from remote server B to my local server.

kindly help.

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
cd /home/dir/for/my/files
while read fname
do
    scp remote::${fname}  .
done < my_file_list.txt

This assumes that when you connect to scp, $fname will have gotten the full, correct name of the file on the remote from your list of files.

Using SFTP to Get list of files from remote server to local server:-

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

awk ' BEGIN { print "cd /remote_dir/" } { print "get " $0 } ' file_list.txt > SFTP_Batch.cntrl  # Create SFTP batch file using file_list.txt
sftp -b SFTP_Batch.cntrl remote_user@remote_server.com						# Run STP batch file to GET files
