sftp

[p7]

hi all

a client was using regular ftp and now is moving to sftp. the only problem was he was using it in cron with something like:

set -o xtrace
/tmp/tmp2
tmpfile=tmp_error_log
USR='user'
PASSWD='user'
date "+******************* Today is %A, %B %d, %Y ********************"
cd /tmp/tmp2
ftp -nv << EOF1
open 10.1.2.3
user test Ylh3\&fk\#
get TESTO1.TXT
delete TEST01.TXT
quit
EOF1

is there an equivilent in sftp?

thx in advance

ftp -nv << EOF1

change to

sftp << EOF1



Test the commands, but most of the ftp commands work with sftp.

Try the following

1. Set up SSH public key authentication for the user between local host and remote host.

2. Copy the file transfer commands to a batch file

3. Sample file may look like

-get Test01.txt
-delete Test01.txt
quit

"-" is nescessary to enforce sftp not to abort and to continue executing succesive commands when a command fails

4.Place the batch file to a secure location.

5. Replace the ftp command as

sftp -b /path/to/batchfile user@remotehost.


All the Best
