How to get the exit satus of a command which I executed in sftp prompt
Hi All,

I need the exit status of a command which is executed through sftp connection.

Example:

sftp user@host <<EOF
mkdir /home/karteek/testing
put /home/xyz.txt /home/karteek/testing
EOF
------
In the above example, I need the exit status of the put command.

Please help me.

The reason for using sftp is that, I need to crate the directories in remote machine.

Thanks,
Karteek

The easy way will be to take status of whole process

Quote:
sftp user@host <<EOF &&
mkdir /home/karteek/testing &&
put /home/xyz.txt /home/karteek/testing &&
EOF
status=$?

Additionally, you could always put the output to a text file and after you come out of the sftp process, check the output file for what ever criteria you wish to confirm all has gone well.
