FTP as a link in email
Hi,

I have to place the files under FTP server and when the files were placed a notification email has to be sent to the user outlook box with FTP link.

How can I make a link to FTP and send it via email . Please help.

Welcome Harimalyala,

I'm hoping you have read the forum rules and suggestions on how to get good answers first.

I have a few questions to start with:-
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors are you getting?
  • What OS and version are you using?
  • What shell and/or tools do you prefer?
  • Is this trying to trigger an email when the file arrives automatically?
  • Can you send a plain e-mail already?
Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

Writing a link into the email will depend on the email client you are sending to, so that would be good to know too.

How about just adding a line like ftp://host.domain.com/tmp into the mail's text?

link to the files on the directory under FTP server

For example as below.. when files are available in temp folder..then these files will be placed under ftp/ax directory. once files are availble here a mail as below will be sent and also this mail should have a link to the directory under FTP.

if [ -f /temp/* ]
then
uuencode Files Files | mailx -m -s "FILES" X@a.com
ftp abc.com
user abc pwd
cd ax
