combination of 1 & 3

I am asking the User to enter the Source Server

he enters the source userid& Password

Loggin to the source server and getting some files

This is my basic scenario

but i have a requirement that my filename and directory paths are not Static , so i need to define the directory to login to the source server and need to define the filenames and also need to define where i need to place the file (get) to the target server

Please let me know if this is a bit confusing

Thanks

ok - here's a sample format of the file that specifies what you're 'get'-ing where it supposed to go:

listOfFile.txt:

/sourceDirPath1/sourceFileName1 /destinationDirPath1
/sourceDirPath1/sourceFileName2 /destinationDirPath1
/sourceDirPath2/sourceFileName1 /destinationDirPath2
/sourceDirPath3/sourceFileName1 /destinationDirPath3

Here's the modifed code:

#!/bin/ksh

listOfFiles='listOfFile.txt'

ftp -nv <<EOF
open $FTP_SRVR
user $FTP_USR
pass $FTP_PWD
ascii
$(sed 's#^\([^ ][^ ]*\)/\([^ ][^ ]*\) \(.*\)#get \1/\2 \3/\2#' ${listOfFiles})
bye
EOF

I'll let you work on the format of your 'listOfFiles' file and the corresponding changes to the script, but the above should give you enough of the 'hint' of the general idea.
Good luck!
