Pass variable to SFTP 2 years 32 weeks ago

Hi All,

I am using SFTP command to transfer the file.

Code:

  SRC=`pwd` DIG=123   /bin/sftp -B /dev/stdin xyz@abc.net <<:: mput ${SRC}/GGG.${DIG}.tar.gz bye :: The problem is, after entring into sftp command, it is not taking variable values of SRC and DIG.

can someone help me what is the other way.

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.
