Gunzip files on SFTP prompt?

Sachin_29 — Tue, 20 Jul 2004 17:57:27 GMT

I guess I am asking a dumb question..
IS it possible to gunzip ( or any unzip) files on SFTP prompt?
I have only ftp access to a server X and I am "put"ing a file on X using SFTP thru script . I have to unzip it on X?
IS it possible
I guess its not possible..
Please let me know
Any help appreciated
Sachin

if you put the file on the x server , then try to go to where you put the file and unzip the file , why it is not possible, try it

AS I said , I have only sftp privileges
I get the prompt
sftp>
I have a very limited access on the server
Currently I have a script to tar it and have to depend on some people to run the untar script on Server X.
I have to script it end -to end
Any ideas

Hai sachin,

We can execute the shell commands on sftp command prompt. Or you can go to the shell and do the operation, after it's completion, quit will make you to come sftp prompt.

If you are having a script to do it, then it is very to do it,

example>

sftp root@test
sftp> !hostname
test
or
sftp> !
# hosrname
test
# exit or ctr+d
sftp>

For ur requirement,
sftp>! ksh scriptname.ksh
like that.. or
sftp> !
# execute it..
# exit ( to sftp )

That is all.
