You can set up automated file transfer between Tectia Client and Server hosts using scripts.

When Tectia Server is used for automated file transfer, separate user accounts can be created for the file transfer users. Non-interactive authentication with public keys and scripted commands are then set for these accounts, and the file transfers are carried out as the current user.

The following example script first transfers testfile from Tectia Client to Tectia Server and then transfers the file back. The script logs the command and the return values to a file.

#!/bin/bash

date=`date +%d.%m.%Y-%H.%M`
SRV=sftp.example.com

#scpg3 put
echo "/opt/tectia/bin/scpg3 -B -q testfile $SRV:test" >> scpg3_put_$DATE
/opt/tectia/bin/scpg3 -B -q testfile.dat $SRV:test
echo $? >> scpg3_put_$DATE

#scpg3 get
echo "/opt/tectia/bin/scpg3 -B -q $SRV:test test" >> scpg3_get_$DATE
/opt/tectia/bin/scpg3 -B -q $SRV:test test
echo $? >> scpg3_get_$DATE

The script can be set to run as a forced command.
