 |
|
Hello world,
I have an ftp server w/ accounts (non-anonymous) and want to have another system fetching a file automatically from it via crontab with that script :
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
cd /location/to/fetched
FILE="sh[`date +%d-%m-%y`].rar"
ncftpget -u user -p password ftp://147.27.12.235/sh_bkps/$FILE |
however ncftpget (v.3.0.2 - slack8.0 server  ) says :
| Code: | | server said: No files found. |
Is there another way to make that ?

wget? or default good old plain "ftp" with the necessary login/pw information in the ~/.netrc file?
okay, more in detail:
.netrc: | Code: |
machine some.server.there
login iamuser
passwort secret |
and just call it by
| Code: | | ftp some.server.there < mycommands |
where you put everything to do in the file mycommands, e.g. | Code: |
cd /my/dir
bin
prompt off
mget desired.files.*
put to.the.world.file
quit
|
