Script to connect FTP Servers

[panchpan]

Hello,
I have a list of > 50 FTP Servers. Can you please tell me script to test if ftp works for each server. I want to see the result as connecting or not connecting only. No login password verification required.

Thank you!

Not exactly what you are after but I hope you can crib this to do what you want. Use a input list of all the servers and wrap it round the ftp & just loop. You don't need the transfer part of course but as I don't have time to write the actual script I hope this one helps.

SRCFILE=$1
DSTFILE=$2
IPADDR=$3
USERID=$4
PASSWORD=$5
SRCDIR=$6
DSTTYPE=$7


#depending on what parameters are passed in to the relavant copy

# FTP Files from Current Server to IPADD

(
ftp -vin <open $IPADDR
quote USER $USRID
quote PASS $PASSWORD
put $SRCDIR/$SRCFILE $DSTFILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
) | grep "226 Transfer complete." > /tmp/ftp$SRCFILE

if [[ -s /tmp/ftp$SRCFILE ]]
then
echo "FTP Completed Sucessfully"

Hi:

You could use this:

# cat .connectme
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::FTP;

for my $host (@ARGV) {
Net::FTP->new($host) or die "Can't connect to $host\n";
}
1;

...run the script passing as many hostnames as you wish. For example;

# ./connectme host1 host2 host3

If a FTP connection can be made, nothing is returned, otherwise a suitable message is written to STDERR.

Regards!

Hi,
how about:

#!/usr/bin/sh
while read host
do
echo "bye" |ftp -n $host
if [ $? ]
then
echo "Not Connecting [ $host ]"
else
echo "Connecting [ $host ]"
fi
done < file_of_ips
