survival – Connection to ftp server using a script and block of commands automatically

It results a bit helpful to send certain information using FTP authenticated, but automatically for scripts, as you can see highlighted.

#!/bin/bash
#
umask 002

FTP_Server=”webserver.queiroz.info”
FTP_USER=cqueiroz
FTP_PASSWD=blablabla

REMOTE_FTP_DIR=/home/cqueiroz/log_bkp

LOCAL_FTP_DIR=/var/log/app/

cd $LOCAL_FTP_DIR

ftp -inv $FTP_SERVER<<EOF
user $FTP_USER $FTP_PASSWD
binary
cd $REMOTE_FTP_DIR
prompt off
pwd
put *log
bye
EOF

You could even define a policy that says: I wanna keep the last three days logs instead upload all log files into the local folder

file2update=`find . -name “*log”   -mtime -1   -type f  |  sort -u | xargs `

for i in file2update

do

(function ftp connect and upload) blablabla

done

Now you have to remove the file which has 4 days since last time modified.

file2remove=`find . -name “*log”  -mtime 4 -type f  |  sort -u | sed ‘s/$/.Z/g’ |xargs `

for i in file2remove

do

(function to connect and delete files)

done

That’s all
