R: Loop on remote dir with except sftp script for get and rm each files

Hello Brad,
sincerely I don't care if I don't get a "just created" file (so your step 3 is unnecessary in my case), while it's a problem if I delete it without havin' got it.
Working under SSH script without a pair key, I need to use EXPECT utility and I think it's a little bit different from a dos batch file.
However can you write me the code part where you can extract files name to pass to GET and RM commands?
Thanks & Regards,
Marco

Oggetto: Re: Loop on remote dir with except sftp script for get and rm each files

I wrote a script like this once in DOS batch and what I did was this..

1. Get a list of all the remote files to download. This was done by redirecting the results of the DIR command to a file.
2. Use that list to build the FTP script to retrieve files. This is instead of using a *.* for MGET. One GET per item in the list worked so I got everything that was there, and left anything new alone.
3. When done, I would make another list of local files, and compare it to the remote file list to check for any errors.
4. If all was good, I used the initial remote list to remove files from the serve. This way you'll never touch any new files on the server.

Worked slick. :)

Hello,
I created a simple script that get all files in a remote then delete all:
______________________________________________________________________
_
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
set timeout 20
spawn sftp $env(SSH_USER)@$env(SSH_HOST) expect {
default {exit 2}
"continue connecting (yes/no)?" {send "yes\n"; exp_continue}
"assword:" {send "$env(SSH_PASS)\n"; exp_continue}
"sftp>"
}
send "get * /XML/OrdFor/Ricevuti/\n"
expect {
default {exit 2}
"not found" {exit 0}
"sftp>"
}
send "rm *\n"
expect {
default {exit 2}
"not found" {exit 3}
"sftp>"
}
send "quit\n"
exit 0

It "works" but files in that directory are dynamics so I risk to
delete someone just arrived after I copied the rest.
So I'm looking for a sample code to cycle the remote directory in
order to GET and RM each single file.

Thanks in advance,
