UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi,

I have 9 different linux based servers and i am automating there healthcheckup by doing ssh and fetching deviations out of it in a single text file. I am doing so by using ssh keygen. I am done with the above part .

Now i want to ftp that text file to my windows XP desktop and i want to do that in the same shell script.
FTP is availaible on both sides
Is it possible to do so.........


Thanks in advance

You'll need to do something similar to this, setting your variables:

Code:

echo "ftp -n ${HOST} <<EOF" > ${FILE_FTP}
echo "quote user ${USER}" >> ${FILE_FTP}
echo "quote pass ${PASS}" >> ${FILE_FTP}
echo "ascii"  >> ${FILE_FTP}
echo "put ${DIR_ORIGEN_FILES}/${FILE} ${DIR_DESTINO_FILES}/${FILE}"  >> ${FILE_FTP}
echo "by" >> ${FILE_FTP}
echo "EOF" >> ${FILE_FTP}

chmod 755 ${FILE_FTP}

${FILE_FTP}

There are couple of alternatives, you can choose from:

You can also do a samba mounting. In that case you don't need to do any ftp. Put the output in a pre configured samba mounted directory in your linux server and then the output will be available to your desktop.

Creating a file and running it is a bit inelegant, why not just run the command in the first place?

Code:

ftp -n $HOST <<EOF
quote user "$USER"
quote pass "$PASS"

...and so on.
