I need to encrypt (using GPG) and then send certain files to another organization's remote sftp server on a weekly and monthly basis. We are using ssh and originally were going to sftp the files. (Their remote server is a 3rd party Windows based ftp server.)
(For each transfer, the files will retain their original file names, so I also probably should archive the exisiting ones on the remote server prior to the copy, so that there is still an archived/backup copy of the existing files prior to sending the new file and overwriting the prior one/existing copy.)
I was hoping that somebody might already have have a similar script already written that I can use as an example and edit, as I was tasked to write a script to do this but I my scripting abilities are still very weak and in need/in the process of developing. :(
Therefore, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
[THANKS in advance! :)]
ps- While searching the forums, I noticed mention of scp and rsync. Would either of these alternatives work or be a better method?
ps2- We also are not zipping the file prior to transfer. We cannot buy 3rd party software to do this.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: encryypting files and automating file transfer to remote server
scp encrypts the authentication and the data stream. There really is no NEED to further encrypt the file.
rsync has the -e ssh option which uses openssh(where scp comes from) to encrypt the data stream and the authentication, essentially achieving the same results.
gzip is open source and can be used to zip the file, no cost. If you want. It is very cpu intensive though.

Re: encryypting files and automating file transfer to remote server
Sorry! I did not realize that you could not ask a question in just one of the forums. I posted to the general forum first (as that was where the similar thread was noted) but then I found the scripting forum and also posted to to there as well. Now I'll know not to post in more than one forum in the future.

Most of the trollers here look at the HP-UX family as a whole, since it is known that the moderators will move threads around in the various sub-categories to better fit the nature of the question. Post once where you feel that it is most appropriate.

Re: encryypting files and automating file transfer to remote server
Regarding rsync, can this be used if the remote server is a Windows based server running a software to make it an sftp server?
I am using a Unix HP server but the remote server that we are sending the encrypted files to is not a unix server.

Re: encryypting files and automating file transfer to remote server
I don't think so. It encrypts/decrypts as part of the transfer.
>I am closing this thread since it seems to have gotten off to a bad start.
It is better to reopen the thread and keep going, rather than create more related threads.
