Script to transfer files from Solaris to windows
Hi All

Please can you help, I´ve wrote the following script on a
Code:
solaris 10

server to transfer files to a windows machine.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh

cd /moneta_polled01/download

HOST=10.100.4.72
USER=user1
PASSWD=V7stop

/usr/bin/ftp -v $HOST <<EOF
user $USER $PASSWD
cd tmp
binary
put test.txt
bye
EOF

but when I run it, I got the following:

Code:
./get_sdp.sh
Connected to 10.100.4.72.

Please can you tell me if there is anything wrong with the script

Well, without wishing to be cruel, it looks like your credentials are wrong. Can you do this interactively before we try to automate it?

I've fallen over this myself as we have Windows domains to consider. If the account you are trying to connect to is a domain wide account rather than an account local to the server, you need to qualify it. You might try variations like this for your USER value:-
Code:
USER="mydomain/user1"
USER="mydomain\/user1"
USER="mydomain\\user1"
USER="mydomain\\\\user1"

The extra \ characters are because the / & \ may be getting interpreted by your shell script and when they are fed into the actual ftp it's getting lost.

I've had different variations for different target servers. No idea why the variation.


Looking again closely at your output, the prompt being sent is 331 Password required for user user1 v7st which also suggests that you might need to break the input, so instead of user $USER $PASSWD you might need:-
Code:
user $USER
$PASSWD




I hope that one of these helps,
Robin

Hi

I´ve tried all the options all the options you suggested but did not work, and all of them prompt me for a password, and if you look closely, the first letter of PASSWD=V7stop, in one of the lines converts the first letter of the password to small caps

I had not noticed that either. Is the variable PASSWD defined elsewhere as a lower-case string with a typeset -l command, perhaps in the calling script or environment.

Can you embed:-
Code:
PASSWD=V7stop
ROBIN=V7stop

printf "PASSWD is $PASSWD \n"
printf "ROBIN  is $ROBIN  \n"

.... and see if that illustrates where the problem might be.

I am lost now:

Code:
PASSWD=V7stop
ROBIN=V7stop

printf "PASSWD is $PASSWD \n"
printf "ROBIN  is $ROBIN  \n"

Code:
 ./teste1.sh
PASSWD is V7stop
ROBIN  is V7stop

Perhaps alter the ftp command to add the -i & -n flags to give you this:-
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh

cd /moneta_polled01/download

HOST=10.100.4.72
USER=user1
PASSWD=V7stop
printf "PASSWD is $PASSWD \n"

/usr/bin/ftp -inv <<EOF
connect $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD
cd tmp
binary
put test.txt
bye
EOF

The -i flag is used to turn off prompting when you use an mget or an mput and the -n avoids the automatic login using .netrc if you have one.

I'm not sure, but let us know whether this helps. Smilie

Now its much better, but still failed:

Code:
 ./test_sdp.sh
PASSWD is V7st

As you can see, the first line after script name, the
Code:
password

is not correct, the correct
Code:
password

is "V7stop" and not "V7st". But on the script is set correctly
