Re: running script after sftp upload
Thanks for your info, ehud. I found this ( http://www.howtoforge.com/triggering-commands-on-file-or-directory-changes-with-incron) to be much easier to use.

The `sftp-server' is a free program, so you can take the source and fix it any way you want. I wanted to check this so I downloaded the openssh source tar ball and looked at sftp-server.c . I found out that without any change, you can get a log message when the `sftp-server' close a file, this message include the file name and the number of bytes read and written. By watching this log you can do whatever you want after each action. Since these are informative messages, You must change the `sftp-server' logging level to INFO, by adding "-l INFO" arguments to the `Subsystem' command in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. If don't want the messages in the SYSLOG, you can add the "-e" argument and redirect the stderr (i.e ... -l INFO -e 2>>/dir/.../log-file). You can use a FIFO file when redirecting so you can read the messages by a program or script directly. (please note, every time the sftp session ends, there is an EOF on the reading side, so you must restart to read). I did not check what happens when more then one `sftp-server' is running, I leave it to you. The messages from a short session: session opened for local user ehud from [192.168.3.6] open "/var/tmp/chk-ip.sh" flags WRITE,CREATE,TRUNCATE mode 0770 close "/var/tmp/chk-ip.sh" bytes read 0 written 1326 remove name "/var/tmp/chk-ip.sh" session closed for local user ehud from [192.168.3.6] Ehud. -- Ehud Karni Tel: +972-3-7966-561 /"\ Mivtach - Simon Fax: +972-3-7976-561 \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Insurance agencies (USA) voice mail and X Against HTML Mail http://www.mvs.co.il FAX: 1-815-5509341 / \ GnuPG: 98EA398D <http://www.keyserver.net/>Better Safe Than Sorry ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: running script after sftp upload
What I meant was simple: Lets say you have a sftp-server, which various people upload your files to it. After a file has been upload it, a script would automatically launch to parse the file, change it's permissions, move it etc. At the end the solution was to use incron.

Re: running script after sftp upload
though I am not sure this is what hetz meant , i would have done it as follows: if some new file opened in /ftpdir then run lsof -p | grep filename if true then ftp downloaded it what say you ?

running script after sftp upload
Hi, I'm trying to find a solution to this issue: I'm running an sftp-server in ubuntu. Users can login and upload files. What I want to do is to run a script (on the server side) that after user logged in and uploaded a file. sftp-server man pages don't give any help about this issue. Any suggestions? Thanks, Hetz ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
