Redirect SFTP Output

Hi,

I'm converting my FTP codes to SFTP for security reasons. I have a "dir sample.txt dir.log" command in FTP which redirects the output of "dir sample.txt" to "dir.log" so "dir.log" will contain the file info. of "sample.txt". I converted it to sftp and used the same command. dir.log was created but doesn't contain anything (0 bytes). It was coded using Expect (TCL). tried to redirect it using (>). still doesn't work. Hope you can help me with this. thanks!

Hi,

We need to convert below ftp code into sftp but we are unable to handle output redirection properly.

FTP Code:

ftp host1 < a.txt 2>&1

where a.txt contains series of ftp commands:

get run_dir/log/abc.log abc.log
ls -l abc.label

When we used the sftp instead of ftp, I could not redirect the output of ls -l command to abc.label file.

Is there any known way to do that. Thanks in advance for your replies.
