Hi,

I am trying to create a script to ftp upload some backed files from one server to another in CentOS.

I use to do this in SSH, but cannot do this anymore...

Im a bit stuck where to start, I know how to do it manual, with the ftp, put commands etc. However I want the script to run under Cron daily.

Also the filename that I will be uploading will change daily (the date is included in the filename, e.g. filename-2008-02-14.tar.gz). So it might be worth making a temp directory somewhere and upload the contents of the directory, then remove the file after the upload has completed...?

Your thoughts would be great.

Thanks

Have you thought about using Rsync??

You can set up one way or two way synchronization between two computers?
If you want to know more then let me know?

Hi cornish,

I can only use FTP as its a shared hosting environment.

Thanks

Middle of you script.sh or whatever

filename=NameOfFile.tar.gz"
hostname="10.1.2.6"
username="user_ftp"
password="pass_ftp"
ftp -n $hostname <<EOF
quote USER $username
quote PASS $password
binary
put $filename
quit
EOF


Ps.: all script can be viewed here: http://gt-inside.com.br/answer.php?a...id=92&hits=358
