Routing a verbose information to a log file

Hi All,

In the script mentioned below uses a sftp command to login to the remote host and pull the files from the remote server. we want to log this inf to a log file . But it is not happening, the verbose information is just displayed on the screen but not to the log file when I run this script. Please let me know which is the correct syntax:


Code:
 sftp -v   test@remotehost >>test.log_$(date +%Y%m%d) <<EOF
lcd  tempdir
        get remotedir/*
        rm remotedir/*
EOF
cd tempdir
if [ `ls | wc -l` -eq 0 ]
then
        echo "NOFILE"
        exit
else if [ `ls | grep -i ".cnf" | wc -l` -eq 0 ]
then
        echo "NOCNFFILE"
        exit
fi
fi
for cnffile in `ls | grep -i ".cnf"`
do
payloadfile=`echo $cnffile|sed 's/\..\{3\}$//'`
if [ -f $payloadfile ]; then
        mv $payloadfile localdir/clientid_$payloadfile
        mv $cnffile localdir/clientid_$cnffile
fi
done
        if  [ $? = 0 ]
        then
                echo "SUCCESS"
        else
                echo "FAIL"
        fi
 
#EOF
#echo $?

When executing the script, can't you pass the output via pipe to a file with "tee -a" ?
