I wrote a following script to move a file to a remote location.i want to move all the files like TD_ORD_SDAO* from local to remote location.
but it is giving error
SH: mput: not found.

`cd #LocalPath#ETL_FINALIZEDPROPOSAL/; echo 'user #UserName# #PasswordName#\n cd #RemotePath#\n mput #RemoteFileName#' | ftp -n #ServerName#`

please share your thoughts
thks

Just to make, which os are you on?
Check if you have mput is in your path.

If unix, type this on your prompt and see what response you get

Code: Select all

which mput

Why would mput need to be in anyone's path?

It's an ftp command and needs to be executed inside your ftp session, not outside of it as you have it now. And that requires a little 'here document' action.

Google for something like 'here document ftp script' and you should find lots of examples of what is meant by that.

One such example.
