How to upload (FTP) files to server in a bash scri

问题:

I'm trying to write a bash script that uploads a file to a server. How can I achieve this? Is a bash script the right thing to use for this?

回答1:

Below are two answers. First is a suggestion to use a more secure/flexible solution like ssh/scp/sftp. Second is an explanation of how to run ftp in batch mode.

A secure solution:

You really should use SSH/SCP/SFTP for this rather than FTP. SSH/SCP have the benefits of being more secure and working with public/private keys which allows it to run without a username or password.

You can send a single file:

scp <file to upload> <username>@<hostname>:<destination path>

Or a whole directory:

scp -r <directory to upload> <username>@<hostname>:<destination path>

For more details on setting up keys and moving files to the server with RSYNC, which is useful if you have a lot of files to move, or if you sometimes get just one new file among a set of random files, take a look at:

http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html

You can also execute a single command after sshing into a server:

From man ssh

ssh [...snipped...] hostname [command] If command is specified, it is executed on the remote host instead of a login shell.

So, an example command is:

ssh [e-mail] bunzip file_just_sent.bz2

If you can use SFTP with keys to gain the benefit of a secured connection, there are two tricks I've used to execute commands.

First, you can pass commands using echo and pipe

echo "put files*.xml" | sftp -p -i ~/.ssh/key_name [e-mail]

You can also use a batchfile with the -b parameter:

sftp -b batchfile.txt ~/.ssh/key_name [e-mail]

An FTP solution, if you really need it:

If you understand that FTP is insecure and more limited and you really really want to script it...

There's a great article on this at http://www.stratigery.com/scripting.ftp.html

#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.example.com'
USER='yourid'
PASSWD='yourpw'
FILE='file.txt'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
binary
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

The "-n" to ftp ensures that the command won't try to get the password from the current terminal. The other fancy part is the use of a heredoc: the <<END_SCRIPT starts the heredoc and then that exact same END_SCRIPT on the beginning of the line by itself ends the heredoc. The binary command will set it to binary mode which helps if you are transferring something other than a text file.

回答2:

You can use a heredoc to do this e.g.

ftp -n $Server <<End-Of-Session
# -n option disables auto-logon

user anonymous "$Password"
binary
cd $Directory
put "$Filename.lsm"
put "$Filename.tar.gz"
bye
End-Of-Session

so the ftp process is fed on stdin with everything up to End-Of-Session. A useful tip for spawning any process, not just ftp! Note that this saves spawning a separate process (echo, cat etc.). Not a major resource saving, but worth bearing in mind.

回答3:

Install ncftpput and ncftpget. They're usually part of the same package.

回答4:

command in one line:

ftp -in -u ftp://username:password@servername/path/to/ localfile

回答5:

use this to upload a file to a remote location

#!/bin/bash
#$1 is the file name
#usage:this_script <filename>
HOST='your host'
USER="your user"
PASSWD="pass"
FILE="abc.php"
REMOTEPATH='/html'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
cd $REMOTEPATH
put $FILE 
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

回答6:

#/bin/bash
# $1 is the file name
# usage: this_script  <filename>
IP_address="xx.xxx.xx.xx"
username="username"
domain=my.ftp.domain
password=password

echo "
 verbose
 open $IP_address
 USER $username $password
 put $1
 bye
" | ftp -n > ftp_$$.log

回答7:

No need to complicate stuff - this should work:

#/bin/bash
echo "
 verbose
 open ftp.mydomain.net
 user myusername mypassword
 ascii
 put textfile1
 put textfile2
 bin
 put binaryfile1
 put binaryfile2
 bye
" | ftp -n > ftp_$$.log

or you can use mput if you have many files ...

Working Example to Put Your File on Root ...........see its very simple

#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.users.qwest.net'
USER='yourid'
PASSWD='yourpw'
FILE='file.txt'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

回答9:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP

winscp.exe /console /command "open UserName:**@Server" "put File path"

if you want to use it inside a 'for' to copy the last generated files for a every-day bacakup...

j=0  
var="`find /backup/path/ -name 'something*' -type f -mtime -1`"  
#we have in $var some files with last day change date

for i in $var  
  do  
  j=$(( $j + 1 ))  
  dirname="`dirname $i`"  
  filename="`basename $i`"  
  /usr/bin/ftp -in >> /tmp/ftp.good 2>> /tmp/ftp.bad << EOF  
    open 123.456.789.012  
    user user_name passwd  
    bin  
    lcd $dirname  
    put $filename  
    quit  
  EOF      #end of ftp  
done       #end of for iteration

echo -e "open <ftp.hostname>\nuser <username> <password>\nbinary\nmkdir New_Folder\nquit"|ftp -nv
