I am using a bash script in Linux to transfer files to a server. My script is running from cron and I have directed output to a file but I cannot know from logs if the file has been transferred to B server or not.
This is the cron:
1>>/home/owais/script_test/logs/res_sim_script.logs 2>>/home/owais/script_test/logs/res_sim.logs
And the FTP is as below:
cd ${dir}
ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
lcd $dir
cd $destDir
bin
prompt
put FILENAME
bye
The only thing that I get in the logs is:
Local directory now Directory_Name
Interactive mode off.
Instead of using FTP, there is rsync. Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. It can copy locally, to or from another host over any remote shell, or to, or from a remote rsync daemon.
More information at the following webpage, https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync
I have used ftp -inv Host << EOF >> LogFilePath and it worked. Thank you all for the support

I am having an issue with my web host changing the permission of one of my configuration files for my website. No matter how many times I change the permissions, they always revert back to writable after a day or so. The web host has been unable to resolve the issue, so I thought I'd try to use a script to ssh into my account and change the permissions daily.
My only problem so far is that it prompts me for my ssh key password in the terminal when I execute the script. How can I get this to work automatically so that I can set it to run daily from my computer without my intervention?
#!/bin/sh
ssh mydomain 'bash -s' << EOF
cd public_html
chmod 400 configuration.php
EOF
Thanks for any advice!
Add your public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote host. The key you are using should not have a password if you want to use it in this way.
Nowadays, this is simply done with the command
ssh-copy-id user#remote_server
I was able to answer my own question after coming across a script on another user's question. I just had to think of a different way of getting the task done. Instead of logging in to my web host via ssh, I just created a script on my web host account and put it in the crontab.
#!/bin/bash
file=configuration.php
if [ -w "$file" ]
then
chmod 400 "$file" && echo "The file permissions have been set to 400." >> log.txt
elif [ ! -w "$file" ]
echo "The file is not writable." >> log.txt
fi
I've a simple shell script to transfer daily log file to another Windows FTP.
The problem is if the file is already there, it will still uploading a new one even though the file name is exactly the same.
How to perform a quick check on this script? If the file is there, then it won't proceed with FTP transfer
ftp -n -v $HOST << EOT
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
bin
mput $FILE
bye
EOT
It is easy in Unix with ftp. First login to the system through ftp and run a ls -ltr command through ftp and list the files in a history.txt file(see below my example) and while transferring the file first check whether that file is already available in history file or not. And if available do not transfer that file. I do it like below:-
HISTORY_FILE="history.txt"
ftp -n -v $HOST << EOT
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
bin
ls -rtE $HISTORY_FILE
bye
EOT
Now you can use below command to check:-
ISFILENAMEEXIST=$(cat $HISTORY_FILE | grep $FILE)
Now if the file exist in history.txt, do not send that file and if not available send it through ftp.
We need to move all the files from particular folder to ftp server. We wrote a script but getting directory not found exception. Below is the script.
#!/bin/sh
HOST='192.168.1.100'
USER='ramesh'
PASSWD='rameshftp'
ftp -inv $HOST << EOF
user $USER $PASSWD
cd /home/Ramesh
put *.zip
bye
EOF
Our requirement is to copy all the files which resides in some directory in Suse Linux Server and copy to FTP server. for eg: Copy all the contents from "/home/Ramesh" directory and put into ftp server.
You can do this in one line with ncftp:
ncftpput -u username -p password ftp-host-name /path/to/remote/dir /path/to/local/dir/*
See http://linux.die.net/man/1/ncftp for more info
I'm having issues with my Unix FTP script...
It's only transferring the first three files in the directory that I'm local cd'ing into during the FTP session.
Here's the bash script that I'm using:
#!/bin/sh
YMD=$(date +%Y%m%d)
HOST='***'
USER='***'
PASSWD=***
FILE=*.png
RUNHR=19
ftp -inv ${HOST} <<EOF
quote USER ${USER}
quote PASS ${PASSWD}
cd /models/rtma/t2m/${YMD}/${RUNHR}/
mkdir /models/rtma/t2m/${YMD}/
mkdir /models/rtma/t2m/${YMD}/${RUNHR}/
lcd /home/aaron/grads/syndicated/rtma/t2m/${YMD}/${RUNHR}Z/
binary
prompt
mput ${FILE}
quit
EOF
exit 0
Any ideas?
I had encountered same issue, I have to transfer 400K files but mput * or mput *.pdf was not moving all files in one go
tried timeout :fails
tried -r recursive :fails
tried increasing Data/control timeout in IIS :fails
tried -i
Prompt
scripting fails
Finally went to use portable filezilla connect to from source and transferred the all files
I want to run a shell script using SSH which takes resource from other machine while the script is in some other machine, all on the same network. I don't want to copy the resource to the local machine.
Note: The shell script takes .txt file as input
If you have script.sh on server1 and file.txt on server2, you can connect through ssh to server1, and then do:
[user#server1]$ ssh user#server2 "cd mydir && cat file.txt" | ./script.sh
Try this:
ssh USER_NAME#HOST_ADDRESS "BASH_SCRIPT_FILE_PATH"
You will need to provide password whenever required.
If your script is in Machine A, you can't run that on Machine B without copying it over. First, copy the script over to Machine B using scp
[user#machineA]$ scp /path/to/script user#machineB:/home/user/path
Then, just run the script
[user#machineA]$ ssh user#machineB "/home/user/path/script"
This will work if you have given executable permission to the script.
OR
Try this one..
<hostA_shell_prompt>$ ssh user#hostB "ls -la"
That will prompt you for password, unless you have copied your hostA user's public key to the authorized_keys file on the home of user .ssh's directory. That will allow for passwordless authentication (if accepted as an auth method on the ssh server's configuration)
I not fully understand your question. Other answers gave "How to run remote script?"
But i think question is Remote script has to take remote file, even I not sure about this
Login Remote PC using ssh.
Install sshfs if not installed .
Then mount other remote machine directory which has the file you want to use in script to local directory. This can be done using sshfs
Then run the script with file from locally mounted directory
Then unmount the directory when you finished.
Somewhat large procedure.
Mounting remote directory with sshfs
man sshfs
