Why does sftp hide the log from stdout?

view full story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – 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. How can I get the log from the sftp command? EDIT: I tried the following forms and it didn't work too. sftp -b batch_file.txt xxx@xxx.xxx.xx.xx ( redirect from cron ) sftp -b batch_file.txt xxx@xxx.xxx.xx.xx >> s (HowTos)

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.

ok I have a new sftp server Suse Linux I have 2 ipaddress on it, 10.2.10.26 and 10.2.10.27, I want to keep them seperate and only ssh to "27" and not have sftp work, and on "26 I want to sftp and not ssh

but when I ssh or sftp to 26 neither work but 27 does.

Also keep in mind that I am coming from Solaris 9 when this happens and when I come from a linux box everything works

Passwordless SFTP - SCP Option? 43 weeks 2 hours ago

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'm running Debian stable and I'm looking to establish the following environment for users in my 'sftponly' group:

jailed can transfer with SFTP can transfer with SCP cannot login interactively with SSH

From my experimentation and research, it seems that the following stanza in sshd_config gets me 90% there:

Match group sftponly ChrootDirectory /sftp/%u X11Forwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no

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.

SFTP help 1 year 11 weeks ago

Hi Guys,

I am able to create a file with all the sftp command required.

I was able to ftp the files in the similiar fashion using ftp command. The following i used for ftp.

Code: ftp -n < $filename But when i try the same for Sftp.

After using the SSH quite a lot on my 1.5 week old Debian 6 VPS, I wanted to start uploading files through SFTP. I already tried that earlier, but with the root account, which isn't possible with SSH anymore due to security changes.

So I've made a separate user, let's call him sftpuser for now, who belongs to the group sftp.
