Question Problem in turn verbose on in sftp
Hi,

I am trying to turn verbose on for sftp but i get message to look lftp options.
Code:
SFTP_LOG=`lftp -u $P_USERID,$P_PSWD sftp://$P_HOSTNAME <<EOF
   cd $P_DEST_DIR
   mput $P_FILE_PREFIX
   bye
   EOF`

The above one works fine but i don't see the debugging details\log details.

I want to capture the log details in SFTP_LOG so that I will know if there has been any issue with the operation.



For FTP, I am able to get complete details...below is one sample one where i able to get all details in FTP_LOG.
Code:
FTP_LOG=`ftp -nv -i $FTPHOST << !
quote user $FTPUSER
quote pass $FTPPWD
cd $FTPDIR
lcd $local_path
quit
!`


Appreciate if anyone can suggest me in what way I can get the above sftp tweeked to get the log details captured.

Maybe the cmd:trace lftp option: lftp(1): Sophisticated file transfer program - Linux man page

I tried to use cmd:trace option in the lftp as given in the script but I do not get the debugging details captured in SFTL_LOG.
Code:
SFTP_LOG=`lftp -u $P_USERID,$P_PSWD sftp://$P_HOSTNAME set cmd:trace yes <<EOF
cd $P_DEST_DIR
mput $P_FILE_PREFIX
bye
EOF`
 
echo $SFTP_LOG

I see the file is getting transfered but i don't see the log details.

Pls correct me if you see anything wrong.

I just want to have the activity details captured in the SFTP_LOG....just like the FTP_LOG which I shown in the start....

It's probably printing the log to standard error, not standard output, so the backticks see nothing. Try
Code:
SFTP_LOG=`command parameters 2>&1 <<EOF ...

I tried but still don't see details in $SFTP_LOG.

Code:
SFTP_LOG=`lftp -u $P_USERID,$P_PSWD sftp://$P_HOSTNAME set cmd:trace yes 2>&1 <<EOF
cd $P_DEST_DIR
mput $P_FILE_PREFIX
bye
EOF`

echo $SFTP_LOG


Wrt to file transfer, it works.
