Comment on sftp/scp scripting by elmidgeto

This was a simple, quick, and dirty script to get what I needed done.
Though I really do like your getopts call.

The delete action is set up the way it is because I am piggy backing on an existing production system, so the folders I need to use are not the standard folders for the user. The sftp server is an enterprise server, so a lot of the actions/permissions on it are folder to folder and user to user so there is nothing jailed, just a bunch of crazy ACLs.

Wordpress fancified some of your quotes.

For the ‘delete’ action you could just use:
ssh $USER@$SFTP rm $FILENAME
At least under simple configurations. If you’re jailing sftp connections to a specific path keeping it all sftp is a better plan.

Since you are invoking it bash up front (sh has it too as I recall, but not csh/etc.) you can use getopts, which is a builtin. Instead of a for loop to iterate over your arguments.
while getopts “s:l:” flag
do
case “$flag” in
s)
SFTPPATH=$OPTARG
;;

l)
LOCALPATH=$OPTARG
;;
esac
done
(As long as you shift off the TYPE and FILENAME arguments anyway.)

1. yes
2. eventually.
3. no title change, but for that, first I would need a title, so it is more the second thing.

Holy crap an update. 3 Things:
1. Stop being lazy about the rifle
2. I definitely have liked the digital rebel and would recommend one
3. Did the workload promotion involve a title change, or purely just a “oh you handled getting hit by a bus fine, now we’re going to try running you over with trucks”?

Hiya, sorry to ask this here but… I really love your theme, would it happen to be a free one i can download somewhere, or is it a custom theme you had made? Soon i will be launching my own blog, however i’m not great with designs but i do like the style of your site so it would be excellent if i could find (or buy) something with a similar look as my last designer cannot finish my site. Thanks!

One niche that YouTube’s users have rushed to fill is that of the random music video. If Rick Rolling has proven anything, it’s that there is a voracious appetite for music videos, which sometimes makes YouTube an online radio station to rival even Pandora.

Wow. That is interesting. You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to make it to Tennessee in time for work. I don’t envy you that.

I think you should type up your list of criteria to take into a dealership with you. Except, I would add, after the fourth one, “or the body of an incompetent car salesman.” Then look wistfully out the window and mutter “looks like snow…”
