Hello all, 1st post here. Anyway, here is my delema. I need to ftp a file (a new file is created daily) to a remote server. 4 things need to happen. 1) Change directories. (done) 2) FTP file to remote site. (done) 3) Verify file successfully arrived at remote site. (havnt a clue) 4) Delete file from local machine. What I have at this point is this....all gathered from google searches #!/bin/bash cd /dsds/dsds lftp -c 'open -e "put filename" ftp://uername:pass@hostip/dir/dir At this point - I can manully make this happen. What I dont know is how do I create a script that will automatically insert file name (may use mput *.*), verify the success and then delete the file. I will not have access to snmp traps to actually know if the file was successful, but at least if it fails, then it wont be deleted. The files that are created have the current date as part of the file name, so this info may be useful for the variable for the put. Again - our "script writer" is no longer with the company and I have this task that needs to be automated as best as possible.
