This section gives an example of setting up automated file transfer between SSH Tectia Client and Server hosts using scripts.

The following example script first transfers a file from SSH Tectia Client to SSH 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=sftexa

#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. See Forced Commands.
