How to send log files to FTP

ikafka — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 11:59:02 GMT

Hello;

At the beginning of each new day I want to send the log files of the previous day to the FTP server.
As you know, as the log files in SMS increase, old logs are deleted. Sometimes it is difficult to retrieve logs with WinSCP. So I want to get logs to my Windows FTP server at the beginning of each new day.

Info:

log file path: /var/log/opt/CPsuite-R81.10/fw1/log

ftp server: Windows

Thanks CM.

Use this script - you need to modify it a little - and start it via a cronjob.

#!/bin/bash FTPSERVER="1.2.3.4"; FTPPW="password"; FTPUSER="username"; echo " verbose user \$FTPUSER \$FTPPW bin lcd /var/log/opt/CPsuite-R81.10/fw1/log put "<name of the logfile>" bye " | /usr/bin/ftp -in \$FTPSERVER > /tmp/test 2>&1;

Hello HeikoAnkenbrand

Thank you for the script I sent. I edited the script I wrote earlier and it worked. He's doing my job now. As you said, the script you sent needs to be edited!

Regards.
