FTP automate script.

[Vishal Ranjan]

Hi,

I want to automate FTP process & for that i want to write an UNIX script.
I want to send some files from hostserver (say) to ftp.host.com (say), the files are located in hostserver's
/interfaces/sid/send (say) directory.
I want to ftp with user ftpuser(say) & password dummypass (say).
Can anybody help?

Regards,
Vishal

Hi,
This is a very simple step to automate FTP...but need to be further enhanced.

ftp -v -n $host.com < user "username" "password"
bin
prompt
put
quit
EOF

Hey Vishal,

You could do something like this.

cd /interfaces/sid/send
ftp -nv ftp.host.com << EOF
user ftpuser dummypass
put thefile
bye
EOF

or if you want to put all of the files, after the "user" line use:
prompt
mput *
bye
EOF

Hope that helps.

Hi Vishal,
you can get two very good Perl script ftpget.pl and ftpput.pl which perform what you need in a controlled way checking the errors as well.
