Friends ,

Using the following script I can FTP a file from a remote machine but I cannot
gunzip that file at a time .The script is :

-----------------------------------
x=scott.dmp.gz
ftp -i -v -n 192.168.1.1 <<END_FTP
user oracle Oracle
binary
cd /dump
get $x
bye
gunzip $x
-------------------------------------
Would anybody plz tell me , how can I gunzip that file using a one script .

Waiting for reply ... ...

x=scott.dmp.gz
ftp -i -v -n 192.168.1.1 <<END_FTP
user oracle Oracle
binary
cd /dump
get $x
bye
END_FTP
gunzip $x


The ftp cmd continues until it see the end marker

Looks to me like you're missing the matching "END_FTP" tag so the gunzip $x is getting sent to the FTP server (yes, even though you've sent "bye" before that).

may i suggest scp since that wasdesigned for automating tasks unlike ftp which is designed to prompt the user for info...

Thx for your kind help ... ...

Friends ,


would you plz help me again .

ftp -i -v -n 192.168.1.1 <<END_FTP
user oracle Oracleconsole
binary
cd /dmfs/ababil_dump
get $x
END_FTP
export ORACLE_SID=$z
sqlplus "/ as sysdba" << !
alter user system identified by sys123;
create or replace directory test_dir as '/rptdata/test_dir';
exit;
cd /rptdata/test_dir
/usr/bin/gunzip scott.dump.gz
impdp system/sys123@$z directory=test_dir dumpfile=scott.dump content=all remap_schema=ababil:user1


In the above script, when I make exit from the oracle then I want to run the last 3 lines . But last 3 lines are not executed. Can you plz help me .. how can I execute the last 3 lines .

you can probably put the 2 commands on the same line somehow.
special characters mite need to be escaped somehow.
