UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am trying to execute a script as below

I am trying to connect to a server through a secure connection and then type the command as below

Code:

/usr/local/bin/sftp -t 2800 $REMOTE_SERVER $REMOTE_USER  <<EOD > $MAINDATA/FTPLog

              cd $HOME_DOWNLOAD
              ls `echo $1 | cut -d"." -f1`*.xml

after executing this script , in the out put file I have created as FTPLog i got a message that

Code:

error message 'No matches'

i have checked that all the ftp connections are working fine. Could you please advise why this mesage is coming up. If am doing something wrong.?

Perhaps the case or some part of your file name generator is missing the files up there? Make a copy of your input, try an ls with wild cards just to see what it sees.

What is between your beginning 'here' tag(i.e. <<EOD) and the closing 'here' tag(i.e. EOD)?

My sftp has a different man page, "user@host" not "host user", no -t: Man Page for sftp (linux Section 0) - The UNIX and Linux Forums

I assumed the EOD was down below, as cd and ls are ftp-legal and << expands `cmd`.
