Any reason you provided an Excel file?  Is this how you need to get your script input of is this just how you wanted to present your requirements?  (Here a text file is better.)

If this is a one time thing, you can just code these values in a script.  Or copy the script and change them.

Or you can pass them as parms to the script.

#!/usr/bin/ksh

# ftp files from SRC_PATH/SRC to TGT on SERVER.  Using USER & PASS

SRC_PATH=/usr/sap/RAV/SYS/global/ftp/RMPA

src="RAV_INFO_20*"

TGT=/

SERVER=10.10.10.31

USER=dewqv

PASS="password"

ftp -inv $SERVER <<EOF
user $USER $PASS

bin

lcd $SRC_PATH

cd $TGT
mput $src
bye

EOF

>I need to move the below mentioned file: RAV_INFO_20140527_001.PSV

I assume you only wanted this one?

It appears that the forum changed my "src=" to lower case.  It tried to edit it several times and each time it did it again.

So I changed both to "src".

[Vishal_1980]

Yes sir..i got that & made the changes now it is successfull.......attached is the output

therefore i need to move 6 files at a time (all are different name) what changes i need to do in the script pls suggest...

Thanks ,

Vishal

[Dennis Handly]

>made the changes now it is successful. attached is the output

(If you are happy with the answers, please click on the kudos star for each helpful answer.)

If you don't want so much output, you can remove that "v" in -inv.

Also, this script doesn't really catch errors too well.

>therefore i need to move 6 files at a time (all are different name)

Do you have a file matching pattern that will do all 6?

Otherwise you can just include all of them in:

src="file1 file2"

[Vishal_1980]

Hello sir, yes i made the changes.However i want to cut paste the files.The requirement is when the files get generated on source it will be cut from their & paste to the destination.
Please suggest...

Thanks & have a great day ahead.
Regards,
Vishal

[Dennis Handly]

>i want to cut paste the files.

(Files don't get cut & pasted, they get copied and then removed.  :-)

After the mput you can simply do:

!rm -f $src

But since there is no checking for any errors, this may be dangerous.

[Vishal_1980]

Thanks a lot sir....yes i am discussing the same with my team & we come to the same conclusion.So how could we do the error checking.Please suggest further.

[Vishal_1980]

Will you please guide me: i want to scheduled the program for every 15 min in a day ,for the week & year as well


Thanks in advance .....

[Vishal_1980]

I am scheduling by the bellow values:

*/15,*,*,* * * * * /usr/sap/RDV/SYS/global/ftp/RMPA/ftpcptest.sh

[Dennis Handly]

>So how could we do the error checking?

Take a look at these topics.  There are suggestions of using perl in several:

This is the linux way of doing things.  For HP-UX, you need:

0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/sap/RDV/SYS/global/ftp/RMPA/ftpcptest.sh

Hello Dennis sir,

I am getting the mail as below.Also there is nothing found in the cron log.
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 09:30:00 +0530 (IST)
From: root@eccdevvg.infodartsap.com
Message-Id: <201406100400.s5A400n3005435@eccdevvg.infodartsap.com>
Subject: cron

sh: /usr/sap/RDV/SYS/global/ftp/RMPA/ftpcptest.sh: not found.


*************************************************
Cron: The previous message is the standard output
and standard error of one of your crontab commands:

/usr/sap/RDV/SYS/global/ftp/RMPA/ftpcptest.sh

Please suggest me on this.

Thanks & regards,
Vishal

>sh: /usr/sap/RDV/SYS/global/ftp/RMPA/ftpcptest.sh: not found.

Well, is that the path to your script?

[Vishal_1980]

Yes sir ,the path is same.However i have to manually execute the script.

Thanks ,
VIshal

[Dennis Handly]

>I have to manually execute the script.

Did you make the script executable?  chmod a+x /usr/sap/RDV/SYS/global/ftp/RMPA/ftpcptest.sh

[Vishal_1980]

Yes Dennis sir ,

I made the script executable.

[Vishal_1980]

This is the output :
# ll
total 2
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 391 Jun 10 10:35 ftpcptest

[Dennis Handly]

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 391 Jun 10 10:35 ftpcptest

You should NOT make the file writable by everyone nor by group:

chmod go-w ftpcptest

If this is local and you're root, this should work, unless you have some unprintable chars in the crontab.

Use vis(1) to check:

crontab -l | vis

[Vishal_1980]

Hello SIr,

The script works good, however when the file is transfer through script the format is different.

And when it is ftp through SAP ftp application the format is different.My customer wants the same format as SAP ftp application.

Attaching both the files ,request you to please suggest on this.
