Hi, (I have a feeling this has been asked before, but I can't find it.)
I'm trying to use sftp within a bash script on cygwin (version 1.5.5 on winXP pro). Ideally I'd like to use a 'here document' rather than using an external batchfile, that is, sftp /dev/stdin <<EOF <ftp commands> EOF The problem is the /dev/stdin. This normally isn't necessary for 'here documents,' and isn't with ftp. However, with sftp, for reasons I don't understand, you need to add the /dev/stdin to use here documents. This doesn't seem to work under cygwin. Does anyone know how to produce this behavior? Or, are there other ways to script/call sftp (or a _secure_ equivalent)? I'm not subscribed to this list, so please cc my email address in your reply. Thanks very much. ------------------------ David Strozzi -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
