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.
