Sending and receiving file through sftp in non-interactive mode

Here is a case where sometime we need to send the files or receive files using sftp non-interactive mode.

Here lftp has been used to pass the credentials to sftp. agent.jar is a file locally available and We wanted it to copy to remote host 192.168.56.153.

Here is the code.

--------------
#!/bin/sh

HOST=192.168.56.153
USER=oracle
PASS=oracle
PORT=22

lftp -u ${USER},${PASS} sftp://${HOST}:${PORT} <<EOF
cd /home/oracle
put agent.jar
bye
EOF

echo "done"

-------------

put is for sending a file from local to remote and get is to receive a file from remote to local server. you need to change directory using cd and use put or get accordingly.


Hope this will help.

How to hide the default bash prompt and use desire prompt

When you login into a linx or unix user, you will be falling under the home directory and the home directory sometime be in a path which is lengthy. You will find it difficult in a small terminal display to type your command.

for example:
  home directory would be like below
      username@hostname format>

  or username:pathOftheUserHome>
   

We can change the prompt as desired. For example

username>

hostname>

anyName>

here is the example how we can change the prompt.

export PS1='\u>'   outpiut: oracle>

export PS1='\h>'  output:   example>

export PS1='\u@\h>'  output: oracle@example

export PS1='Manoj>'  output Manoj>


You can put this in .bash_profile to load this prompt when you login to the user.
