Help with running script at sftp
Hello All,

I am trying to run a sftp batch script (.conf) file from a shell script. I wanted to remove a file from sftp if it exists else it should ignore removing and continue with other commands in .conf file. I am not able to put logic in .conf file.Any idea how that can be achieved.

Code:
/sftp -b $PATH/sample.conf $abc@$HOST

in a .conf file I have commands to run.

Please reply.

You don't have to test whether it exists or not. Just delete the file. the sftp session will not terminate.
Code:
sftp> cd /tmp                                          
sftp> rm t                                             
Removing /tmp/t                                        
sftp> rm t                                             
Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory   
Removing /tmp/t                                        
Couldn't delete file: No such file or directory        
sftp> quit
