Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi everyone,

Sorry to post this again. But I am very new to this shell scripting. I need to ftp files from server A to server B. I am writing the shell script in server B. I have information like server IP address (say 10.54.68.97), username and password for both server A and server B. Can someone give me a shell script for that. Also if I want to ftp multiple files with some pattern, how can go for that?

There is a FAQ section on ftp scripting at Automate FTP / Scripting FTP Transfers . Especially Recursive FTP -- here at last.

Did you check those ?

why dont u search in google

ftp -n 10.54.68.97 << end
user name passwd
ascii
ha
mput somefile
by
end

Hi,

I have tried with the options but it is not connecting. Let me explain it clearly. Say I have 2 servers say 10.42.56.125(server A) and 10.25.65.148(server B). I have multiple files(*.txt) in 10.42.56.125/bin/dollar path and I want to ftp it to 10.25.65.148/bin/dollar.
I want to write a shell script in server A. In which path I have to write the shell script and also I need to parameterised the remote server IP address(server B), username,password and the path where I have to put the files in remote server(server B). I am trying with options and I am doing some mistake in executing the code as I am very new to this and no one is good in unix here. I am using HP Unix box. Pls help.

Thanks in advance,
Srivsn

Post your code

#!/usr/bin/sh
ftp -v -n "10.42.56.125" << cmd
user "user" "Pass"
cd /bin/dollar
mget *.txt
quit
cmd

When I use your code Roam, It is not connected to FTP. Thats why I have tried with another code. Could you please give me the exact code. And I can execute this shell script in server A/bin/dollar, right? Pls suggest.

Thx
