Hi,
I am transferring files from our local server to remote server using FTP command in a shell script.
I am using a the following code,
FTPFILE="ercchk*.txt"
mput $FTPFILE
can any one help me out in calucalating the number of files transfered.
help in this regard is highly appreciated.
regards,
Azaz Ali.
ls -1 ercchk*.txt|wc -l
On my AIX box, ftp output a message from every file tranfered :
$ ftp localhost
Connected to loopback.

If you ftp output is similar you can do something like this :
ftp xxxxxxx >ftp.log 2>&1
echo "#Transfered files : $(grep -c '^226' ftp.log)"

Hi,
First i would like to thank you for your replies.
My FTP specific code as follows,
PUTHOST=xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
PUTUSER=xxxxxxxxxx
PUTPASSWD=xxxxxxxx
FTPFILE="xxxxxx*.txt"
ftp -n -v $PUTHOST << EOF
quote USER $PUTUSER
quote PASS $PUTPASSWD
cd xxxxxxx
lcd $xxxx
mput $FTPFILE
quit
EOF
I am a new comer in Unix world so doen't know much about it. Please help me out in this,
ls -1 xxxxxx*.txt|wc -l
the above code gives only the no. of files with xxxxxx*.txt but i don't think so these give the number of files transfered.
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Azaz Ali.
its assumed that files of type xxx*.txt are being transferred through the script and thats an indirect way of identifying how many files are going to be transferred with the ls -1 xxx*.txt | wc -l option....
another option has mentioned here to grep from the logs after ftping...
you do use multiple file transfer and why isnt that interactive prompting is not turned off by specifying -i option?
Hi Madan,
First i would like to thank you for your reply.
I don't have much knowledge on both shell scripting as well as on FTP.
I just came to know by seeing the reply that -i option is used to turn off tthe interactive scripting.
Can you please suggest me the code we should be added in the code which i have sent to 1.Log files whenever the script is executed and 2.total number of files transfered.
Regards,
Azaz.
here it is,
ftp -n -i -v <<EOF >logFile
#ftp commands
EOF
you would have the ftp log information in the logFile
and grep for 226 Transfer complete message
You can do something like this :
PUTHOST=xxxxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
PUTUSER=xxxxxxxxxx
PUTPASSWD=xxxxxxxx
FTPFILE="xxxxxx*.txt"
FTPLOG=ftp.log
FTPFILES=ftp_files.log
ls $FTPFILE > $FTPFILES
FilesCount=$(wc -l < $FTPFILES)
echo "Number of files to transfert : $FilesCount"
ftp -n -v $PUTHOST 2>&1 << EOF | tee $FTPLOG
quote USER $PUTUSER
quote PASS $PUTPASSWD
cd xxxxxxx
lcd $xxxx
mput $FTPFILE
quit
EOF

Hi Jean and Madan,
Thank you very much for sparing time and giving two different solutions.
Sorry for asking small questions. I more in my mind is,
If i use the below code where should i use the grep command to calculate the number of files?
ftp -n -i -v <<EOF >logFile
#ftp commands
EOF
I have a doubt that whether it should be used inside or outside the EOF
Regards,
Azaz Ali.
The code betwen lines <<EOF and EOF is the input for the ftp command.
ftp -n -i -v <<EOF >logFile
#ftp commands
EOF
fileCount=$(grep -c '^226' logFile)
