RE: script for ftp transfer

[Nick White]

Title: Message

I use this quick and dirty little perl script to transfer files from my Linux boxes to our windows backup server:

 

#!/usr/bin/perl
open (FTP, "|/usr/bin/ftp -n") || die "Can't open FTP command, $!\n";
print FTP <<"EOFTP";
open 192.168.1.1
user username password
bin
prompt
lcd /backups/
cd /backups/linux-svr-21
mput *.tar.gz
EOFTP
close FTP;

 

I'm sure there is a much cleaner and efficient way of doing this, but this works great for simple linux backup operations that I do.  I have another script that does the backup job, then afterwards this one uploads the tar.gz files to my backup server.

Subject: script for ftp transfer

Hi all,

I need to transfer some log files on a daily basis from my machine to a windows machine.

I'd really appreciate if any of you can give me some ideas, my situation is that I can't put ftp server on that machine and so the file transfers should originate from the Linux machine.

I was thinking of some kind of a cron job but I've run out of ideas.

I'd appreciate if any of you gurus can help me with some scripts or links.

 

Thanks,

 

Peram
