How to combine to flat files which are there in remote server ?

:mad: I have to write a script in informatica, which is used to combine two remote flat files

file transfer the file using ftp then perform cat command to combine files

ftp -ivn << eof
open <ip address>
user <username> <password>
binary
get file1
bye
eof

cat file1 file2 > outfile

Hi

Thanks.

Mean while i tried with the following script. Please let me know ur comments on this.

FTPSVR=IP address
FTPUSR=username
FTPPWD=password
FTPDIR=/dir path
export FTPSRV FTPUSR FTPPWD FTPDIR

ftp -n $FTPSVR << !
quote user $FTPUSR
quote pass $FTPPWD
cd $FTPDIR
lcd /dir name

get filename1
get filename2

bye


The second script as,

FTPSVR=IP address
FTPUSR=username
FTPPWD=password
FTPDIR=/dir path
export FTPSRV FTPUSR FTPPWD FTPDIR


cd /tmp

cat filename1  filename2 > filename3

ftp -n $FTPSVR << !
quote user $FTPUSR
quote pass $FTPPWD
cd $FTPDIR
lcd /dir name
put filename3
bye

As in your first post you said you need to combine two flat files residing at remote host.that can be done with this script

#this script login to remote server and execute the command there the log file will be
#session_output
( echo "user"
  sleep 2
  echo "password"
  sleep 2
  echo "cd /dir_path"
  sleep 2
  echo "cat test11.txt test12.txt>>try.txt"
  sleep 2
  echo "logout"
) | telnet ip_address > session_output

Do you need to ftp also??
