UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi all,

I am trying to write a script to connect to remote host and ftp some files there.
The problem i am facing is,I dont know how to specify username and password for remote host through scripting.
and even if i am able to connect to remote host,then how should i execute
commands like mput etc through unix scripting.

Please do suggest me, how to write the code for the same.

Thanks Girish!!
I am able to connect to remote host and also able to ftp the files there.
The problem that now i am facing is i want to take the count of files ftped.

I have taken the count on local host, say in var1 before ftping.
Now i want to take the count on remote host ,say in var2 and want to compare both of them to ensure successful ftp of all the files.

Still i am not able to determine the scope of these variables and also how to get value in var2.

Looking forward for help,
Thanks!

I still have a few things to add, but it does work in its current form.
You just need to make sure you have the .sent and .receiving directories on both servers.

Hi ...

This might help

ftp -nv $HOST <<EOF1
user $FTP_ID $FTP_USR_PASSWD

lcd $target_dir

cd $source_int_dir
$TRANSFER_METHOD
get $file_name

quit



EOF1


here store your user id ,password and file name in variables which you will ftping to the remote server denoted by $HOST
