FTP in Kshell

 

ftp -n  1.1.1.1 <<EOF
user $USER $PASSWD
lcd /opt/remote
binary
prompt
ls -l > list.txt
mget list.txt
quit
EOF
exit
# END OF SCRIPT

now put of conditions by reading list.txt on your location m/c. And download
if you find required files.

More options explaination are as below.
1. What is the "-n" paramter do for the ftp command

man ftp
     -n        Do not attempt "auto-login" upon  initial  connec-
               tion.  If  auto-login is not disabled, ftp  checks
               the .netrc file in the user's home  directory  for
               an  entry  describing  an  account  on  the remote
               machine.  If no entry exists, ftp  will prompt for
               the  login  name  of  the  account  on  the remote
               machine (the default is  the  login  name  on  the
               local  machine),  and, if necessary, prompts for a
               password and an account with which to login.

2. Why do you need "<<EOF" at the end of the ftp command.
      To tell the FTP program when to "exit"

3. What does the "binary" command do?
     set ftp transfer in "binary" mode

 

ftp -n -v 1.1.1.1 << EOF >> ${LOG}
user ${USER} ${PASS}
cd ..
get ${FILENAME} ${DOWNLFILE}
quit

EOF

if [ ! -s ${DOWNLFILE} ]; then
echo "`date` WARNING:file is not exists" >> ${LOG}
 
exit 2
