Hi,

I wrote a simple scp script from my server to pacman server which
copies all jpg files to /jennash/ directory.

Now, I need help with this script. I would like it to pull not just
*.jpg files but other file types as well. Also, is it possible to pull
only files that is 3 minutes old? Please help.

Thanks!

JennAsh

#!/usr/bin/perl

system('scp /export/www/docs/*.jpg pacman:/export/www/jennash/');

exit;

Well, this is a Perl script in a very loose sense of the word.

Definitely doable .. just change the extension.

You could check out the Net::SCP and File::Find modules. What you
have written could have been done in *any* *NIX shell - for as little
Perl you have in it.

This answer is not perl related directly, but I moved from using scp to
rsync for this type of thing. The perl bit is that once files were
transferred I then needed to do other tasks (e.g. sighup a daemon) so I
used the perl script which did the rsync to perform other tasks.

Try Net::SFTP. Gives you whole lot more of control - you can verify sizes
after transfer of each file, set timeouts for login and per file transfer, etc

And the relevance to Perl is???

Here's a shell script to do it:

#!/bin/sh
scp `find /export/www/docs -type f -mmin 3` pacman:/export/www/jennash

Well, seeing your shell script I was able to come up with this
rsync -rt -e /usr/local/bin/ssh /htodcs/www/my_folder/
pacman:/htdocs/www/remote_folder

The above script allows me to execute via command line in Unix.
However, when I saved the script has shell script and tried to
executed via browser it didn't work.

The page displays:

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things: #1) Respect
the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. Password:


Not sure why it is displaying since the sys-admin open up ssh
connection and a key has been established in my local directory in the
remote server.

Can anyone advise?

If you run it as a CGI, you'll be running it as a different user. I don't
know how your web server is set up, so I can't tell you how to fix it, but
you somehow need to get the script to run as the appropriate user, perhaps
using the "setuid" bit for the executable permission.
