Webmin 1.5 cannot run lcd command within a script
Hi all,
I am using a ubuntu 9.4 server as ftps server. We have scripts that transfer files to our customers and it is scheduled by a cron job via webmin 1.510. Here is a sample of my script
Code:
psftp user@hostname
lcd /FolderA/Outgoing
cd FolderREm
mput *
When I run a cron job manually the webmin is returning the below error
1) psftp> psftp: unknown command "tgoing"
and then it is sending all files located in /usr/share/webmin/cron directory to the customer.
Could you help me or direct how
a) resolve why webmin cannot lcd
b) If webmin encounters erros it should sent files from FolderD: a specific folder I will create.
Thanks for your help
