Bad directory components
can't find list of remote files, oops
Put set -x in your script and check if your path and file names are correct.
yes evrting is fine,
when i m giving value manually in the script like 1020 it is pulling the file
mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020tar.gz
the path is correct and also files are there, the only problem is that when i entered the value the FTP is not taking that value and reading the file as
mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz
instead of
value=1020
mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020.tar.gz
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Enter the month/day"
read value
ftp -v -n ddcappip031.tu.com << "EOF"
user amit jason
prompt
cd /ednpdtu7/u01/pipe/Incoming/CurrentCollector/MeterReads/backupfiles
mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz
bye
EOF
Below the complete o/p i m getting now
root@isau02:/data/tmp/testfeld> VAR=cri; ftp -n isau02 << EOF
> user jupp something
> dir s${VAR}pt
> bye
> EOF
-rwx------ 1 jupp users 13 Aug 14 11:38 script
still not getting is there anyother way to pass value in the script to FTP
Can you change your script like following:
from
mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz
to
dir CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008????.tar.gz
... and post the output here.
using dir i m able to get the file name but how to copy it using FTP
#!/bin/ksh
set -x
cd /ednadtu3/u01/pipe/naveed/class
echo "Enter the month/day"
read value
ftp -n ddcappip031.tu.com << "EOF"
user amit jason
prompt
cd /ednpdtu7/u01/pipe/Incoming/CurrentCollector/MeterReads/backupfiles
dir CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008????.tar.gz
bye
EOF
output
---------------------------------
+ cd /ednadtu3/u01/pipe/naveed/class

Enter the month/day
+ read value
1020
+ ftp -n ddcappip031.tu.com

I asked you to just use 4 question marks instead of ${value}.
Yes . I have made changes in the previous post i m able to do dir
There is no filename with a 1020 in it.
Just checked it - when you use -v on ftp you should get a message like
450 blabla: No such file or directory
What happens if you use get instead of mget?
yes there is file on ddcappip031.tu.com
path is : ednpdtu7/u01/pipe/Incoming/CurrentCollector/MeterReads/backupfiles
Filename: CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020.tar.gz
ls -ltr CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020.tar.gz
-rw-r----- 1 pipe pipe 144570660 Oct 20 23:08 CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020.tar.gz
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
the problem is that in FTP is not recognising the value of $value as 1020
when using FTP -v it is showing
550 CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz: No such file or directory
I tried with both mget and get option
There is nothing wrong with the script version in Post #3. Note that the single quotes have been removed to allow expansion of ${value} .
The error message in Post #3 suggests that you have hit an old Linux bug in the FTP daemon. Either apply fixes or try specifying a directory name (with ./) on the mget line.
mget ./CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz
