sftp log file
Hi,

I am running this command to sftp a file:

sftp -o identityfile=/blah/blah/.ssh/key blah@mass019 > log.log

I want to write the output to a log file, but for some reason when the sftp errors out the log file is empty. It seems that it writes to the log only if the connection is successful. I need a log when the sftp errors out. Help please? any ideas???

Thank you!

Errors are written to stderr not stdout.

add the following to the very end of your command:
Code:
2>&1
