[ale] FTP files

Yeah I was going to mention all those declarations at the top look fishy
save the cat one (which is fishy for other reasons :).

The $() quoting is POSIX-ese (I believe) for backticks `` so your date
example is running date and then trying to run the date string that
returns.  If you're worried about spaces in filenames or output commands
return you should be using

FOO="$( some_command --blah)"


whereas if you're just wanting to be explicit what you're setting
variables to just use "" or ''

BAR='/some/path/file.txt'


The problem with the cat line is that you're counting the number of lines
in the file before you're recreating it after removing it.  Not to mention
you're then checking $FILE == 0 rather than the number of lines that you
put in $FILES (again, prior to recreating it).  If you'd just use a single
'>' rather than '>>' the shell would overwrite the existing file and there
wouldn't be a need to remove it beforehand.


And I was mistaken in my prior post about perl LWP; it has a mirror sample
but it's a lightweight wget-y thing.


Untested (I do zsh, not bash :) but this might be more the direction you'd
want.

#!/bin/bash

LOG=/var/log/fl_sdirc
SOURCE_DIR=/chroot/home/fl/fl_sdirc
TIME="$(date '+%m-%d-%Y %H:%M')"

cd $SOURCE_DIR

typeset -a FILES
FILES=( $( /bin/ls $SOURCE_DIR ) )

if [ "${#FILES[@]}" == 0 ] ; then
  echo "$TIME" >> $LOG
  echo "No Files tranfer" >> $LOG
else

  for i in "${FILES[@]}" ; do
    ## Presumes credentials are in ~/.netrc
    ftp -i 192.168.105.29 <<"EOT"
binary
put $i
quit
EOT
  done

  echo "$TIME" >> $LOG
  echo "File following file were transfer to Pawnee" >> $LOG

  for i in "${FILES[@]}" ; do
    echo "$i" >> $LOG
    mv $i /home/fl_sdirc/$i.$TIME
  done

fi
