FTP from command-line to IIS FTP Server username special character - iis

From Ubuntu terminal, i'm trying to ftp an IIS ftp server.
username: jenkins.a.b.c|jenkins
host: a.b.c
due to the special character '|' i tried the following, but did not succeed:
ftp jenkins.a.b.c%7Cjenkins#a.b.c
ftp: jenkins.a.b.c%7Cjenkins#a.b.c: Name or service not known
note: by using ftp interactively, defining the host, connecting and than defining the username and password, i am able to log on.

Okay, i was able to login, turning off the interactive mode and escaping the pipe character - used for user IIS ftp user isolation, based on a thread of LinuxQuestions.org:
#!/bin/bash
HOST=a.b.c
USER=jenkins.a.b.c\|jenkins
PASS=xxxxxxxxx
# -i turns off interactive mode
ftp -inv $HOST << EOF
user $USER $PASS
.
.
.
ftp operations (ex. cd /folder/folder)
.
.
.
bye
EOF

How to save FTP session logs in file in Linux

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

FTP output redirect to a file on my linux box using shell script

I am looking for a Bash script to redirect a simple ls command output to a file on my Linux box from my FTP Server.
Here follows the step by step commands to illustrate what I am looking to script. The FTP site can be accessed without a user/password, so i am entering user as anonymous and password as blank when prompted.
ftp <FTP_SERVER>
Connected to <FTP_SERVER> (IP_ADDRESS).
220 Microsoft FTP Service
Name (<FTP_SERVER>:root): anonymous
331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password.
Password:
230 Anonymous user logged in.
Remote system type is Windows_NT.
ftp> ls /Outgoing/Artemis/incremental/Hashes-1492870261.zip
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,37,108,77,5,87).
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
04-22-17 07:11AM 227634 Hashes-1492870261.zip
226 Transfer complete.
I need the output of the command 'ls' command I am executing to be saved in a file on my linux box.
Here is the script i have:
ftp FTP_SERVER <<EOF >outputfile
quote USER anonymous
quote PASS
prompt noprompt
ls -la /Outgoing/Artemis/incremental/Hashes-1492870261.zip
quit
EOF
when i execute this i get a login failed error.
sh -x test.sh
+ ftp FTP_SERVER`
Password:
Login failed.
local: /Outgoing/Artemis/incremental/Hashes-1492870261.zip: No such file or directory
I used some random password as a test instead of blank (null) which I used previously, but still get the same error. How can I fix this?
Turn interactive mode off:
ftp -i -n FTP_SERVER <<EOF >outputfile
user <user> <password>
binary
ls -la .
quit
EOF
You might get on better with lftp:
lftp -e 'ls -l someFile.zip; quit' -u USER,PASSWORD FTPSERVER > ls.txt
where all the words in capitals need replacing by your own values.
Or you could try with curl:
curl ftp://FTPSERVER --user USER:PASSWORD

Transfer files between local to remote server using ssh without password authentication

I want to transfer some files from my local to remote, like github does it. I want to happend it very smooth like in shell script. I tried creating one shell script which automates the process of ssh authentication without password but for first time it exposes my remote server password. I dont want to do it that way. Like in git we can't see their server password. Is there any possible way that we can do ?
I used this article script to automate ssh login. http://www.techpaste.com/2013/04/shell-script-automate-ssh-key-transfer-hosts-linux/
As i mentioned, you can use the scp command, like this:
scp /local_dir/some*.xml remote_user#remote_machine:/var/www/html
This requires that you need connect to the remote machine without password, only with ssh key-authentication.
Here is a link: http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html to help you.
The important steps: (automatic login from host A / user a to Host B / user b.)
a#A:~> ssh-keygen -t rsa
a#A:~> ssh b#B mkdir -p .ssh
a#A:~> cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh b#B 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

FTP script not working

I have an FTP script running on Linux and it is failing. Here is the script:
/usr/bin/ftp -v -i -n my.ftp.server << cmd
user ftpuser password
binary
ls
<some other commands here>
quit cmd
It returns an error:
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
Not connected.
The weird thing here is that if I just typed this in the command line:
/usr/bin/ftp my.ftp.server
It asks for a username and password and after I supplied them, I was able to connect!
In ftp> I type ls and I can see the files from the FTP server.
What is wrong with my script?
And also, I don't have putty access to the FTP server so I can't see the logs from there. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Here is an example of a correct ftp linux script.
#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.server.com'
USER='user'
PASSWD='pw'
FILE='file.txt' #sample file to upload
ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
put $FILE #sample command
#some other commands here
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

Copy files from Linux server using ssh client with different user name

I have this linux machine with ssh server installed, I can access the server using username="ubuntu". ssh server blocks clients that try to connect using "root" username.
So connection can be made by:
ssh -i mykey ubuntu#myserver
I can get files that belong to "ubuntu" using :
scp -i mykey ubuntu#myserver:<file location> ./
However, what I really want is to get files that belong to "root" username, (Note: I can't access the server with username "root" for obvious security reasons).
so is there a way to do download files that are under "root" username?
I was thinking to do some magic in the server side that enables me to do that.(I don't know how :) )
if this help: I have root access and also I can create files on my server side. but I'm not allowed to change the file permission under the root(if someone get hold of these files I'll be fired)
You can try monster like this
ssh ubuntu#myhost 'sudo cat /path/to/file | uuencode' | uudecode > path/to/local
You should have uuencode and uudecode on coresponding hosts.
Or if file is text you can skip uuencode part
ps: see related topic
You could do it the other way around.
Log into the the pc with the file you want with
ssh ubuntu#myserver
Then gain superuser privileges
sudu su
and then copy the files you want
scp /the_file_you_want ubuntu#myhost:/the_location_and_filename_you_want
Some other ways you can find here
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/106480/how-to-copy-files-from-one-machine-to-another-using-ssh
enable ssh on your machine
(if fedora) (for ubuntu you can find command on google easily)
service sshd on
From your local machine
ssh -i ubuntu#myserver
change to root
su
enter password
and copy files using scp
scp somefile.extension randomuser#localmachine:/some/path/
I hope it helps
