Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Experts,

I need a script in which I need to scp a file /home/chandan/abc.txt to a remote server using scp. Then I need to check whether scp is successful or not.
How am I going to write this code?

My Server Name: myserver
File Name On My Server: /home/chandan/abc.txt
Destination Server Name: destserver
Destination File Name: /home/MyFiles/myfiles.txt

Looking for your help!!!


Thanks in advance!!

Please show us how you would approach this task.

On myserver, run

Code:

scp -p /home/chandan/abc.txt ${destserver}:/home/MyFiles/myfiles.txt
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "scp command was successful"
else
echo "scp command was failure"
fi

You can simplify that:

Code:

if scp -p /home/chandan/abc.txt ${destserver}:/home/MyFiles/myfiles.txt
then
        echo "scp command was successful"
else
        echo "scp command was failure"
fi
