Transfer files using lftp in bash script
Simple way with ftp:
#!/bin/bash
ftp -inv ip << EOF
user username password
cd /home/xxx/xxx/what/you/want/
put what_you_want_to_upload
bye
EOF
With lftp:
#!/bin/bash
lftp -u username,password ip << EOF
cd /home/xxx/xxx/what/you/want/
put what_you_want_to_upload
bye
EOF
From lftp manual:
-u <user>[,<pass>] use the user/password for authentication
You can use mkdir for create a directory. And you can use put command several time like this:
put what_you_want_to_upload
put what_you_want_to_upload2
put what_you_want_to_upload3
And you can close connection with bye
You can check folder is exist or not like this:
#!/bin/bash
checkfolder=$(lftp -c "open -u user,pass ip; ls /home/test1/test1231")
if [ "$checkfolder" == "" ];
then
echo "folder does not exist"
else
echo "folder exist"
fi
From lftp manual:
-c <cmd> execute the commands and exit
And you can open another connection for put some files.
I don't know how to check folder is exist or not with one connection, but I can do that like this. Maybe you can find better solution:
#!/bin/bash
checkfolder=$(lftp -c "open -u user,pass ip; ls /home/test1/test2")
if [ "$checkfolder" == "" ];
then
lftp -u user,pass ip << EOF
mkdir test2
cd test2
put testfile.txt
bye
EOF
else
echo "The directory already exists - exiting"
fi
