Script to get file from SFTP and run it

view story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – We have 5 servers running our code: A, B , C, D and E. From local machine, we sftp the file to A. Then ssh id@A su - applicationname sftp id@A get bye tar -xzf logout logout The same procedure we apply for others B to E. Is there any way we can simplify this using script ? We have requested linux team to provide passwordless authentication. But we dont know how to do sftp inside a SSH session using script. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Script to get file from SFTP and run it

I have read documentation on SCP and just trying to figure out how go about doing this - below are two pieces of code, one is SFTP and one is SCP. My goal is to have this done via password-less authentication, fully automated.

I have a script a.sh, which has an sftp command:

echo "Starting to sftp..." sftp xxx@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx << END_SCRIPT ls mput *.csv.gz bye

END_SCRIPT echo "Sftp successfully."

If I run it interactively, the log output from sftp is shown. However, if I set it in a crontab and redirect the stdout to a file using >, there will be only the output from the two echo statements.

Hi,

I want to execute shell script with in sftp session for remote server.

like i have a shell script test.sh that is on local server.i want to execute that script on remote server

sftp user@192.168.56.10 sftp> test.sh ---execute for remote server not for local server.

sftp oracle@192.168.56.101 << EOF cd /home/ibney test.sh # i want to execute this shell script on

I was hoping to get a little insight into an expect script that I've written.

Basically we have this expect script to perform an sftp upload, key authentication is not an option, and sftp is the only method supported by our vendor, thus the need for this.

I want to be able to catch timeouts and log an error code for scripting purposes.

I need to:
