sftp in batch ?

[rmueller58]

I've been using SCP to transfer files internally for sometime, I have a file I need to push out to a vendor,

I was hoping I could use the similar command

sftp -b filename -o port=port# user@remote:

the file is not transmitting.


Doesn't the SFTP command work similarly to SCP?

Any insight on how to push the file in batch would be appreciated..

Hi,

what is the content of your batchfile "filename"?

You can try:
$ echo 'put myfile' | sftp -b - -o port=port# user@remote
or
$ echo 'put myfile' > batch
$ sftp -b batch -o port=port# user@remote
