hellow evry body i send files by ftp using ksh script . The real Proplem is How to Know if the sent file sent OK or Not (As rcp command I was check ($?) to know the sent file correctly sent or not)? thanks esam E S A M

must use ftp command to test -e.g. ls

I realy used this solution inside my script ; But How I decide the result (Found OR NotFound )To report in simply and readable Form to enduser .To invoke this The following was my way : 1- call ftp scrpt from a parent scrpt 2- redirect ALL ftp output to a file 3- put the file 4- run "ls" inside ftp & echo a messge conaining constant expr. to the output file 5- after ftp scrpt ends , the process reback to parent scrpt then I grep a line witch includes both constant "IS" and the sent file name because I noticed that when ls found file it prints the file name . but I want more proffisional way clear echo "enter date ..\c" ; read dte ; export dte if [ $dte ] ; then echo ".. SENDING ...\c" # folowing line calls ftp scrpt i named it SEND /home2/flexuser/report/send >/home2/flexuser/report/send.log 2>&1 echo "Branches NOT sent " echo "==================" grep IS /home2/flexuser/report/send.log |grep -v txt|cut -f8 -d" " echo "" echo "Branches didnot respond " echo "==================" grep respond /home2/flexuser/report/send.log echo "" echo "Branches sent " echo "==================" grep IS /home2/flexuser/report/send.log |grep txt |cut -f14 -d" " else echo "input is not proper " exit 1 fi echo " Press Enter To exit ..\c" read xx ###FTP SEND SCRIPT ############### for host in `cat /home2/flexuser/.netrc |cut -f2 -d" "` do brn=`grep $host /home2/flexuser/.netrc |cut -f8 -d " "` ping $host 1 >/dev/null case $? in 0)echo "\n Now you are sending $host"; ftp $host <<-ENDFTP lcd /home2/flexuser/source cd ATM_REP put br_rp$dte.$brn br_rp$dte.$brn.txt ls br_rp$dte.$brn.txt !echo " IS The file br_rp$dte.$brn for $host Found ?\c" bye ENDFTP ;; echo " No respond from $host" ;;" >> /home2/flexuser/report/send_rep/noconect ; esac done E S A M
