ftp script !

Ivan Azuara — Tue, 20 Jul 2004 12:52:02 GMT

Hi !

I'm testing the next ftp script:

for x in ` cat /sort/LOGS_CRONTAB/logs_home/logs_opers `
do
cd /
cd /sort/LOGS_CRONTAB/logs_home/depot_logs/$x/July04
ftp -i -n 130.10.17.18 < user cencom1 cencom1
cd s_inb_01/$x/Julio04
mput *
EOF
done
echo Transfer succesfull | mailx -s "Transfer OK" support@banamex.com

When i execute this shell script, i receive the next message:

# ftp_test
ftp_test: Syntax error at line 5 : `<<' is not matched.

Is very strange because if i write line by line in the command prompt. The script runs good.

Somebody have an idea about this error ?

Thank's in advance !

All I can do is give you working code which will look alot like what you have.

ftp -nv ${SERVER} << FTPEOF > /tmp/temp_log.$$
user ${USERNAME} ${PASSWORD}
#Get file
get $1
quit
FTPEOF

Put this in the do/done loop and it should work.

mput versus get should not make a difference.

That script should work if you are in Posix or Korn shell. What is the default shell of the account you are running this from?

Hi !

I probed yours suggestions, but any works (the sintax error message doesnÂ´t disappearing). I use an other form to make the ftp connection, and works fine:

(echo "open 130.10.17.18
user $user $password
cd s_inb_01/$x/July04
mput *
close "
) | ftp -i -n

Best Regards

Hai,

The problem is only because of -EOF. Try to use the following script as,

------- ftp.ksh ---------
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x

for x in `cat /sort/LOGS_CRONTAB/logs_home/logs_opers`
do
ftp -i -n 130.10.17.18 <<-EOF 2>/dev/null
user cencom1 cencom1
lcd sort/LOGS_CRONTAB/logs_home/depot_logs/$x/July04
cd s_inb_01/$x/Julio04
mput *
bye
EOF
done
[[ $? -eq 0 ]] && echo Transfer succesfull | mailx -s "Transfer OK" support@banamex.com

#normal return
exit 0

-------------------------------

Execute it. It will surely work.
