230 OK. Current restricted directory is /
 
ftp> cd /data01
 
ftp> lcd /backup01    –> change local directory on local server.
 
ftp> mget ***.csv     –>to get the file from ftp server to local server.

cd /data05/TADA_Master_curr
 
CURR_DT=`date +%d-%m-%Y`
 
export CURR_DT
 
CSV_FILE1=TADA_CITY_MASTER_$CURR_DT.csv
 
CSV_FILE2=TADA_POLICY_MASTER_$CURR_DT.csv

export CSV_FILE1
 
export CSV_FILE2
 
export CSV_FILE3
 
export CSV_FILE4
 
export CSV_FILE5

EOF
 
echo “done”
 
 
check if a file exists or not
 
 
if [[  -f $CSV_FILE1 &&   -f $CSV_FILE2  &&  -f $CSV_FILE3 && -f $CSV_FILE4 ]]; then
 
echo “File Transfer Process was Successful  and ‘$CSV_FILE1’ exist”
 
else
 
echo “FTP File Transfer Process Failed ‘$CSV_FILE1’ Does not exist at `hostname`. Please contact System Administrator! $Scriptfile” | mailx -s “File Transfer Failed” [email protected], [email protected]

Using shell script to file transfer, here it will check if a file exists or not.

 
 
if [[  -f $CSV_FILE1 &&   -f $CSV_FILE2  &&  -f $CSV_FILE3 && -f $CSV_FILE4 ]]; then
 
echo “File Transfer Process was Successful  and ‘$CSV_FILE2’ exist”
else
echo “FTP File Transfer Process Failed ‘$CSV_FILE2’ Does not exist at `hostname`. Please contact System Administrator! $Scriptfile” | mailx -s ” File Transfer Failed” [email protected], [email protected]
fi
 
if [[  -f $CSV_FILE1 &&   -f $CSV_FILE2  &&  -f $CSV_FILE3 && -f $CSV_FILE4 ]]; then
echo “File Transfer Process was Successful  and ‘$CSV_FILE3’ exist”
else
echo “FTP File Transfer Process Failed ‘$CSV_FILE3’ Does not exist at `hostname`. Please contact System Administrator! $Scriptfile” | mailx -s ” File Transfer Failed” [email protected], [email protected]
fi
 
if [[  -f $CSV_FILE1 &&   -f $CSV_FILE2  &&  -f $CSV_FILE3 && -f $CSV_FILE4 ]]; then
echo “File Transfer Process was Successful  and ‘$CSV_FILE4’ exist”
else
echo “FTP File Transfer Process Failed ‘$CSV_FILE4’ Does not exist at `hostname`. Please contact System Administrator! $Scriptfile” | mailx -s “File Transfer Failed” [email protected], [email protected]
fi
 
 
cd /data05/TADA_Master_curr
 
 
rm -rf $CSV_FILE1
 
rm -rf $CSV_FILE2
 
rm -rf $CSV_FILE3
 
rm -rf $CSV_FILE4
