FTP connection refused
Hi I am trying to execute a shell script which is in unix server gs1. The script is below which basically connects to another unix server q15 and tries to get a file using FTP .
But i get error as "ftp: connect: Connection refused
Not connected.
Not connected."

Please help with if the below script has any flaw
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
HOST=q15.dev.com
USER=sam
PASSWD=sam
FILE1=/common/PDS/xyz.psv
ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
lcd /app/daily/scripts
get $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

regards
Sam

Are you able to manually ftp to the other server?

If tha answer to fpmurphy's question is an affirmative, disregard what follows.

Your error message suggests that the FTP server cannot connect to the client machine, which it needs to do for normal (active) FTP. This is usually the result of the client being firewalled. You may have better luck using passive mode.

I just checked that normal FTP is not allowed and it should be sftp. I never tried. Can anyone help me to modify the above script i posted with how to make it work for sftp ?

sftp is not a drop-in replacement for ftp, it does some things very differently, especially passwords. You will need to arrange passwordless login if you want to script it. Just having the right files in the right places lets automatic login happen.

Then you can just ignore the password part and do
Code:
sftp username@host <<EOF
lcd /app/daily/scripts
get $FILE
quit
EOF

I thought that in-line commands were not allowed for sftp and that one always has to put the commands in a file and refer to them with the -b file. Of course, this might vary depending on the OS. I would expect something more like:-
Code:
echo "lcd /app/daily/scripts
get $FILE
quit"
> sftp.cmds

sftp -b user@server

Have I missed something?

It may indeed vary on the OS, since I have not encountered that restriction myself.
