shell script to download files from remote machine using ftp
Hi all its already too late and you might have resolved your issue by now. But anyhow i would like to know if you have had resolved it with any other alternative method:
I've noticed minor change in this below script which you have given, well i guess it is the "/" which is you are missing after the location "cd /flower/rose"
ftp -in ftp.flowers.com << SCRIPTENDuser name 123binarycd /flower/rose/mget redSCRIPTEND
wget --user=name --password=123 ftp://ftp.flowers.com/flower/rose/redTo download to a different directory than the current directory:
wget --user=name --password=123 directory-prefix=/the/target/directory/ ftp://ftp.flowers.com/flower/rose/redThen the files will be downloaded to /the/target/directory/ .
If you know the name of the file ahead of time, you can use the -O option to wget to tell it where to write the file:
wget --user=name --password=123 --output-document=/the/target/directory/red ftp://ftp.flowers.com/flower/rose/red
