I am uploading files over 100MB and I am choosing to zip the files, split the .zip and then transferring the file parts. Once transferred to the SFTP, I do not see a command to combine the .zip parts. Does SFTP have such capability? I am using vsftp, which does not appear to have that functionality. I was wondering whether there is a universal SFTP command for the function.
Thank you.
There's draft of copy-data/copy-file extension to the SFTP protocol, which can be used to concatenate files.
But in the most widespread OpenSSH SFTP server and OpenSSH SFTP client (sftp) the copy-data is supported by very recent version 9.0 only. Another servers that do support it are ProFTPD mod_sftp and Bitvise SFTP server.

I have disk station with some large files (site with interactive file system where I can download some files and archives). I also have server with ssh access. Can I download file directy to the server without downloading it to my local machine and then using scp to the server?
Some people say to use
wget http://link-to-the-file
But I am not sure, that there is direct download link. Moreover you should specify language of achieve before downloading (confirming).
Note: I tried to use wget but can't understand is there downloading link.
I have an excel file in an SFTP location with inbuilt macros in it. I want to do an automation such that the macro runs at a certain time daily in the SFTP server.
Initially I did it using task scheduler, but now that the file is not available locally and since it is residing in the SFTP Location I am unsure on what to do.
Help.
You can't. The SFTP server is a file store, not an application server.
So, download the file in question to a local folder, run your macro using this local file, and - when done - upload it to the SFTP server overwriting the old file.
I have a use case where I should read the file from windows remote location with the following steps:
Read file from windows share location say input folder.
Process file and upload to REST service with the content of file.
If the call is successful move the remote file to archive folder, archival folder will also be on windows remote share.
I am using spring integration smb. Please help how can I achieve the archival use case.
Thanks,
barvepan
If it's on the same share, use the SmbRemoteFileTemplate's rename() method.
If it's a different share you'll have to copy the file and remove it (you can use the remote file template for that too).
One of my client's ftp server recently moved from Linux to Windows.
Searching using *.[cC][sS][vV] looks for *.csv and *.CSV files as intended on Linux.
But this doesn't work on Windows. Is there a way to expand this correctly on Windows or perform a case-insensitive search on Windows ftp server?
The FTP specification does not allow any filemasks.
While some FTP servers do support this, you cannot rely on this functionality, if your script has to be platform-independent.
The Windows IIS FTP server does not support file masks. Even if it did, it would not support the set syntax ([]), as that's not supported in Windows file masks in general.
See also Get File Listing ending with A or B using Jscape FTP.
You have to retrieve all files (without any mask) and filter them locally in your code/script.
I need a python code which can download files from a ftp server. I need a built in multi-part download managing package which can help me to retrieve files faster. I tried SmartDL but the problem is I don't know how to retrieve files in a ftp server. Also I used the add_basic_authentication to ensure that, I am passing the right credentials. Please help me with a solution.
I have no problem using any other solution/package which uses Multipart download.
P.S:- I need to save the Downloaded files on to an Object storage on Cloud. The size of each file may be 300MB and I need to download 20TB of data.
Thanks in anticipation.
Take a look at ftplib, it's a simple FTP library which will permit you to download files from a FTP server.
