Automate FTP

I don't understand the "EOF" that is piped. maybe this foirst must be declared somehow to be used with the actual shell that can't be bash in a NIOS device.

If you use the sahs shell as default, yopu need to activate hush in buisibox and add a line

# !/bin/hush

at the beginning of the script, as sash can't do piping.

Michael, I don&#39;t understand it 100% either, but in my understanding the <<EOF is what splits the script into two parts: the first (before <<EOF) goes to your default shell (bash, in my Ubuntu) and the second part is used as input commands for the ftp client that is started. So, after the EOF, it is the same as you started ftp manually and typed the lines one by one - but that wouldn&#39;t be automated, of course.

The script is run in my desktop PC/Ubuntu machine, so it has nothing to do with the uClinux shell. In my Nios box, I use sash as the default shell.

This is something I wrote to the forum before it crashed that I found on google that may be of help.

"I found a few things on the internet and adapted them today to make life easier. Try this shell script.

# !/bin/sh

{

echo "open uClinux"

echo "user root uClinux"

echo "put ./test /bin/test"

echo "bye"

} | ftp -vin

{

echo "open uClinux"

sleep 1

echo "root"

sleep .2

echo "uClinux"

sleep .5

echo "chmod 777 /bin/test"

sleep .5

echo "gdbserver localhost:10000 /bin/test"

sleep 1

} | telnet

# end of file#

"

This is just an alternate way, but if it helps anyone........

With this, "sh" needs to be hush (or msh), as sash, which had been the default shell "/bin/sh" for quite a time, does not support piping ("|").

The very new version of uClinux dist (provided on the blackfin server) does use hush as default shell, though.

But you can actiate hush (e.g. in busybox) additionally to sash, and start the script with# !/bin/sash.
