Hello Folks,
I am looking for a bash script which check the ftp server connection status and transfer success/failure also final stage is like if the transfer/connection failed, i should get an email.
First stage - checking for login success or not
#!/bin/bash
HOST='your.ftp.site'
USER=apac\remoteusername'
PASSWD='remotepasswd'
ftp -n -v $HOST << EOT
ascii
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
cd upload
ls -la
bye
EOT
But this escapes the '\' in $USER and consider it as apacremoteusername
Kindly help me how to accept '\' for user command? Or any other command which accepts '\'
Thanks in Advance
