Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello All,

I have searched the thread for capturing and got some suggestion but that is not working for me.

I am trying to sftp to a window server from unix server and getting file there with out any issue .But i wan't to capture the error --in case a file is not exist in remote.

Example :
I tried the script following way
1) cat sftp_transfer.ksh

2>&1
sftp -b trfr_Files.sftp servername

2) cat sftp_transfer.ksh

sftp -b trfr_Files.sftp servername >error.sftp


==========
Surprisingly in both the case the error is not redirecting to the file .
In second part only success full file transfer are recorded in logfile but not error.
When ever some file is not present it is straight way throwing the error to the STDOUT.

$ ./sftp_transfer.ksh
Error :

Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory
File "/logs/test//xxxx_172.18.127.2_20080526.txt1" not found.

Any suggestion how to redirect the erro part or all of the output and error to a logfile .

***Note the trfr_Files.sftp contain the list of get file from the server****
Script working fine only thing i am not able to redirect the error part to a log.

Code:

sftp -b trfrOriginFiles.sftp servername 2>error.sftp

or if you want both regular output and error messages in the same file

Code:

sftp -b trfrOriginFiles.sftp servername >error.sftp 2>&1
