SFTP uses the SSH protocol, so use SSH directly to do the find.

Not sure of your OS. But if your platform is Linux, sshfs is a great way to mount a remote filesystem over SSH, then you can simply do whatever you want as with a local filesystem.

Hi All,

I have declared a variable in script1 and assign a value for it. In script2 i'll call script1 and then I want the value of variables set in script1.

I have tried with export, but in vain.
How can I achive this?

Below is the two scripts.

--script1
#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo $1
JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4

export JAVA_HOME

--script2
#!/usr/bin/ksh

./setValue.sh

echo "Java is present: ${JAVA_HOME}"

In script2 JAVA_HOME is empty, but in script1 JAVA_HOME has value.

Pls. help me in this.

Thanks in advance
