Need ftp script

[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

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.

>My customer wants the same format as SAP ftp application.

The two files seem to be input files and appear to be the same.

[Vishal_1980]

No sir both the inputs files are different.If you open it in notepad you will come to know.
The file which is ftp through script,the info comes in 1 single line,
where as the file transferred by the SAP ftp application was in a proper human readable format.Request you to please suggest for the same or please share me your mail id i will send those files to you.

Thanks,

Vishal

I don't use notepad for that reason.  :-)

Basically you copied the file in binary mode so it kept the LF terminator.  Evil Windows wants CR/LR.

In the script I provided, change the line with "bin" to "ascii".

You need to be aware that ALL files will be transferred this way and would be assumed to be text files.
