Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

i am using hp-ux server and doing mput command for uploading the multiple files.
below is the code

Code:

sftp hfjr@usilehrttlsd01.com
    cd /home/sftp_dir
    mput kk1 kk2

i am getting Uploading kk1 to /home/sftp_dir/kk2.
problem is i am getting kk2 file only not kk1 file.
when i am using put command like below

Code:

sftp hfjr@usilehrttlsd01.com
    cd /home/sftp_dir
    put kk1
    put  kk2

it is working file.

so how can i use mput in my shell script

Thaks for your help advance.

Regards,
Krupa

The man page for my sftp- implementation does not mention the mput command, but it seems to me that it takes only the first argument for the local files' spec, and the optional second for the target file/directory name. So I guess in your remote copy kk1 was copied over and renamed to kk2. Try: mput kk[12]

Hi Rudic,

i have file like GPS_input.txt and GPS_input2.txt. when i try to mput GPS_input[12].txt or GPS_input[2].txt . when i am trying with this only GPS_input2.txt is chowing(it means same ptoblem).

i could use mput GPS_input*.txt , in my directory i have more then one file with same name e.g GPS_input4.txt , GPS_input_test.txt..... like this
among all i will have to sftp only GPS_input.txt and GPS_input2.txt.
do you have any advice for this situations?

Advace thanks for your helping hands.


Thanks,

How about mput GPS_input{,2}.txt

But the way. mput uses glob by default, however, if you disable glob (man page) it will take the files literally and do not try to expand.

i am tried with below
sftp> mput GPS_input{,2).txt
stat GPS_input{,2).txt: No such file or directory

getting the No such file or directory, even though two files are there in my directory.

That should be a }
If still complains it will be because it is not expanding.

sorry, still i am getting same error
sftp> mput GPS_input{,2}.txt
stat GPS_input{,2}.txt: No such file or directory
