I have a script that will log on to an FTP to get all files back to our server and delete the ones on the other side.
Sad enough I cant use Wget.
So I build a script to do this with a Mget.
But Mget can only get about 1000 characters in 1 line.
So I would have to set a limit to reading all the files to maybe 50 lines or someting every list and than stay in a loop till there are no files left on the other side..
Maybe someone can help me changing my script so it will work?
The files are called as follow.
anna.MM08371053011405
All same length.. only different numbers...
This script is working perfect till there are more files dumped to that directory.
rsync? scp? Tar and compress the files before sending? I didn't read your script, but I guess one of those or combinations of those could be an alternative to solve your problem.
If you'd like to stay with ftp, maybe just move the files to be transfered 1st to a subdirectory where they are alone and do a "mget *".
I had the problem when doing an Mget and after a Mdelete that in the time the Mget is being processed new files are writen in that dir and than I delete files that arent moved over.
That's why I have to do this.
The files are all kinda small.. but they should never get lost.
