Useful ftp script for some daily transfers.

Useful ftp script to transfer files from SAP server daily to another file server.

In my case I transferred daily audit logs from SAP ERP server to another file server.

1)Create a .netrc file under root user $HOME directory / .  There is sample netrc file under /usr/samples/tcpip/ .

Register file server IP and login credentials:

machine <IP> login <username> password <password>

/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/1_615989.png

Its rights should be 600 (rw- — —) . Otherwise we get an error like:

/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/2_615990.png

chmod 600 .netrc

Then we can immediatley login to file server (which we’ll transfer our audit files to).

2)Here is the little script /tmp/FtpDailyAudit.sh :

#!/bin/ksh

#Calculating YESTERDAY variable value

YESTERDAY=`TZ=bb24 date +%Y%m%d`

YESTERDAYS_AUDIT_FILE=”audit_$YESTERDAY”

#Login to file server to put the latest audit file there

ftp <IP> << cmd

bin

lcd /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS<SN>/log

cd /SID

put  $YESTERDAYS_AUDIT_FILE

bye                         

3)Crontab entry to run this script daily:

crontab -e

#Sending Daily Audit Logs to XXXXX Server

0 7 * * * /tmp/FtpDailyAudit.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
