Third Time's the Charm: BIG-IP Backups Simplified with iCall

Hello,

 

I've successfully managed to create a working script that uses the ftp protocol for the transfer of the file , just modify the following in the original script , follow these steps :

 

1. replace the lines

 

SSH settings

 

exec scp /var/tmp/$fname.tar.gz USERNAME@SERVER:DIRECTORY

 

2. with these lines

 

Make sure ftpcommands.txt file doesnt exist to avoid errors

 

exec rm /var/tmp/ftpcommands.txt -f

 

Create ftpcommands.txt file

 

exec echo "open SERVER" >> /var/tmp/ftpcommands.txt

 

exec echo "user USERNAME PASS" >> /var/tmp/ftpcommands.txt

 

exec echo "binary" >> /var/tmp/ftpcommands.txt

 

exec echo "put /var/tmp/cfg-backups/$fname.tar.gz /DIRECTORY/$fname.tar.gz" >> /var/tmp/ftpcommands.txt

 

exec echo "bye" >> /var/tmp/ftpcommands.txt

 

Run ftp copy procedure

 

exec ftp -n < /var/tmp/ftpcommands.txt

 

 

good luck !
