Using ftp to transfer files from one server to another
 

I am using FTP to login into remote server to copy files

#!/bin/sh

DUMPS=/root/exp/
TMP=/root/tmp

find $DUMPS/*.sql.zip -type f -mtime +15 -exec cp {} $TMP \;

cd $TMP

# FTP Login

HOST=ipaddr
USER=usrname
PASS=passwrd123
REM_DIR=/home/bkpdir

for f in *; // the second time when i run the script
do
echo "Uploading file via FTP:" $f

ftp -in $HOST <<EOF

quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASS

cd $REM_DIR
put $f
bye
EOF

done



It works fine but the problem i have to run this daily to copy files which are 15 days old in dumps dir.

There are a lot of files which are 15 days old, say some 20 files but when i run the script the next day i'll have to copy only one file which is 15 days old.

how can i achieve this?
how should i avoid files which are already copied?

hi pan64
as expect was not working for me I created script using ftp.

Use keys or expect with rsync. I posted a complete and working example of using expect for this purpose in your other thread, but I didn't see any response to that post indicating problems or questions. Did you even try it?
