I'm trying to run a .bat file from windows xp using putty sftp. My code is below. For some reason, I keep getting an "access denied".
The annoying thing is that when I copy>paste these into the cmd prompt line by line, it works fine! I'm not sure if there's still some error with my code or if it's possible that the ftpsite.com won't accept incoming messages from a batch file?
#echo off
psftp user#ftp.ftpsite.com -pw abc#!123
cd Data/out
get file.csv
Commands to PSFTP must be placed in a SCRIPT file as in:
Filename: myscript.scr
cd Data/out
get file.csv
exit
Then you call it with:
#echo off
psftp user#ftp.ftpsite.com -pw abc#!123 -b myscript.scr

I'm trying to create what I thought would be a simple .bat file to login to a Unix server and cd/dir but I can't seem to get it to do anything past the initial login. What I've tried so far:
#echo off
putty -load "servername" -l username -pw pass
echo cd /usr/frank/ftp/bin
Also tried creating a separate file to be called for the chdir but it's not calling the other file either.
-m C:\Users\Userzed\Desktop\ftp.txt
echo cd /usr/frank/ftp/bin
I appreciate any help to show me why this isn't working or point me to where I'm messing this up.
I have 2 Linux boxes and i am trying to upload files from one machine to other using sftp. I have put all the commands I use in the terminal to she'll script like below.
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/tests/sftptest
sftp user1#192.168.0.1
cd sftp/sftptest
put test.txt
bye
But this is not working and gives me error like the directory does not exist. Also, the terminal remain in >sftp, which means bye is not executed. How can I fix this?
I suggest to use a here-document:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/tests/sftptest
sftp user1#192.168.0.1 <<< EOF
cd sftp/sftptest
put test.txt
EOF
When you run the sftp command, it connects and waits for you to type commands. It kind of starts its own "subshell".
The other commands in your script would execute only once the sftp command finishes. And they would obviously execute as local shell commands, so particularly the put will fail as a non existing command.
You have to provide the sftp commands directly to sftp command.
One way to do that, is using an input redirection. E.g. using the "here document" as the answer by #cyrus already shows:
sftp username#host <<< EOF
sftp_command_1
sftp_command_2
EOF
Other way is using an external sftp script:
sftp username#host -b sftp.txt
Where, the sftp.txt script contains:
sftp_command_1
sftp_command_2
Ive been using a .bat script to download only pdfs from an FTP server.
Up until now its been working perfectly using the mget *pdf function.
I recently moved the script and have it running from a Windows 2012 Server.
And now when script gets to the mget function, it lists the files that would normally transfer except with a ? after each instance, it then fails to actually download them to the lcd.
#ftp -v -n -i -s:C:\Users\LMCT\Desktop\Serversidesage\download-1.txt
This is the FTP function being called.
open xx.xxx.xx.xxx
user xxxxxxxxxxx
=xxxxxxxxxxxx
cd orders
lcd "C:\Users\LMCT\Desktop\Magento-downloaded-orders"
binary
prompt
mget *pdf
mdelete *pdf
quit
And this is the downloading script.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards, Lewis.
By Default Interactive Prompting is ON. When you used the -I option to launch the FTP command it is turning Prompting off. In your script you are then turning it back on with the PROMPT command which then throws off your MGET command.
So if the PROMPT command is in your FTP script:
open ftp.domain.com
user ftpuser
password
prompt
quit
It is easy test to see what is going on.
C:\BatchFiles\ftp>ftp -v -i -n -s:"script.txt" |find "Interactive"
Interactive mode On .
C:\BatchFiles\ftp>ftp -v -n -s:"script.txt" |find "Interactive"
Interactive mode Off .
I have a batch script which is unzipping a folder. It looks as follows:
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" e "C:\target\bin.zip"
the above batch script unzip the folder bin.zip to same location as that of batch file. Now, this batch script is placed on the remote machine and i have to start it there remotely . I used psexec and did following from my local machine command prompt:
psexec -s -i \\ip_add -u user -p pass C:\target\sample.bat
So, now it does not unzip any file on the remote machine. I am not getting what am i doing wrong. The batch script is perfectly working fine and i tried to verify psexec is working correctly or not by launching a calc on remote , it worked pretty well. so, please suggest what am i lacking.
You could try to launch cmd.exe from psexec to get a remote shell and then attempt to run the batch file from the command prompt
I am using plink to execute the shell script on the remote MachineB. And shell script is there on the MachineA(Windows Box).
C:\PLINK>plink uname#MachineB -m test.sh
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Your Kerberos password will expire in 73 days.
And that shell script generates the output in a text file(aa.txt) on MachineB and that gets stored in /export/home/uname/aa.txt
So my question is- Is there any way that I can copy the aa.txt file from MachineB to MachineA as soon the script has completed all its task using the ssh. Or we need to put all these things in Windows Batch file?
So Problem Statement is like this-
Execute the shell script on MachineB from MachineA.
Then wait for the shell script to complete its task, in my case it will write the output to a text file.
And after the shell script has completed all its task means it finished writing everything to a txt file, then copy that txt file to MachineA from MachineB
Any suggestions will be appreciated on how I can achieve the above scenario?
Update:-
So Suppose if this is the content in test.sh shell script file and also after adding pscp at the end of script, then it should be like this?
#!/bin/bash
export HIVE_OPTS="$HIVE_OPTS -hiveconf mapred.job.queue.name=hdmi-technology"
hive -S -e 'SELECT count(*) from testingtable2' > aa.txt
pscp uname#MachineB:/export/home/uname/aa.txt c:\documents\foo.txt
So I am executing a hive query in the above script and whose output is getting stored in aa.txt file and as soon as the query is completed and output is stored in aa.txt file, it will go to fourth line of pscp which will transfer aa.txt file to my local windows machine inside documents folder. Am I right? This will be the whole process?
And if the above process is right as far as I understood, then I can simply go to windows cmd prompt, and do like below and it will do the exact same process. Right?
C:\PLINK>plink uname#MachineB -m test.sh
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Your Kerberos password will expire in 73 days.
Updated Again:-
So I need to create a bat file, and suppose this is the below test.bat file, so content should be like this in that test.bat file-
plink uname#MachineB -m test.sh
pscp uname#MachineB:/export/home/uname/aa.txt c:\documents\foo.txt
You can use scp to download the file after execution. If you setup winsshd on your windows machine and append a copy command in the test.sh file:
scp /export/home/uname/aa.txt user#windowsmachine.com:/homedir
The file will be transferred after completion.
Similarly, you can use a windows scp client like pscp on your windows machine, you can pull the file from the linux machine:
pscp uname#MachineB:/export/home/uname/aa.txt c:\documents\foo.txt
So on windows machine, have a batch script:
plink uname#MachineB -m test.sh
pscp uname#MachineB:/export/home/uname/aa.txt c:\documents\foo.txt
Just to add on to what has already been said, I am running something very similar and use the following format (from a batch script):
plink -ssh user# -pw password -m yourScript.sh
pscp -sftp -pw password user#IP-Address:/path/to/remote/file C:\path\to\local\save\directory
That second command is on one line, but it might not render like that on here. Of course, replace IP-Address, user, and password with the appropriate values for your login :-)
Hope that helps!
EDIT - Sorry, just realized this EXACT answer was already given. Kudos!
