Hi,

I will first explain my requirement..I'm copying file or dir from other server.

Let say...
i am currently logged in 192.168.1.11 box and copying the dir from 1.10 box.(lets assume this is password less login).

#scp -r 192.168.1.10:/home/test/dir1 /myhome

so the output will be something like this..

dir1 100%|*************************************************| 123KB 12:00:01.. etc...something like this..

I want to redirect the above output to one text file..How to do that..Please guide me...
I tried to redirect using > and | option [result file will be created but empty]

Let me know incase of any questions....

Thanks
Gokul

I don't know exactly, but maybe this would work?

Thanks for your reply...

But it didn't work....

Cheers,
Tink

I tried above command and i got only empty file...


Thanks
Gokul

any other suggestion plz....

any suggestion?? i need to find the answer for above question.
need help!

OK. scp shows some weird behaviour here, I wasn't aware of that.
The only way I managed to capture any output from it was using
script (which is quite ugly because of the progress meter).

You'd then need to do some post-processing of the typescript
to get the last part of the output - the one with 100% ...

Worked for me:

the out.txt file contains all kind of debug info and the last line contains the exit status...

I'd suggest not to forget the bash mechanism with

scp sourcefile.txt user@targetsystem:/home/test/dir1 && echo "scp done" > out.txt

The only thing you don't have is the file size.

The && effect is that what follows (echo here) will only occur if the first part (scp) ended normally (exit 0). Otherwise nothing happends

In that case scp -q (quiet) can be used.

scp -v filetocopy.txt admin@10.20.0.1:/data/ 2> scplog.txt
