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

<Scratching my head>
I am just wondering what ISN'T native about the solution presented by Tim?

Did you even look at the link? Their ARP-SFTP product seems perfectly suited to your requirements from what I can tell... Just wondering, really!

Thanks Tim for your interesting suggestion but I'm looking for a "native" solution, if someone else could post me some scripting code sample I will prefer.
Regards,
Marco

Hello Marco,

If you're committed to using the pase ssh and Expect then I'm not much help but if you're looking for alternatives then our sftp client will let you do this very easily (and it's free). It supports password authentication if that's been your problem. It'll let you build dynamic lists, check remote file modified dates etc and even do a "double check"
on file sizes before you choose to delete anything. You can get a copy here:

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

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,
