unix2dos for SFTP
Posted on 2011-02-18
Hi,
I have several files on a unix server that need to be sent to a windows server. via SFTP. If I am sending one file I can hardcode unix2dos command in the script. But since I have several files,do you know how I can do this in a script ?
P:S. SFTP connection has been established.
Please advise.
Thank you !

if all the files are in the same folder then you can use a wild card to convert them
example:
Files
/tmp/test1.txt
/tmp/test2.txt
Running the following will convert both files
unix2dos /tmp/test*.txt
example:
Files
/tmp/test1.txt
/tmp/test2.txt
Running the following will convert both files
unix2dos /tmp/test*.txt
Tried this: unix2dos X*
But doesnt work:
user@server> unix2dos X*
usage: unix2dos [ -ascii ] [ -iso ] [ -7 ] [ originalfile [ convertedfile ] ]
Below are the files:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 trtsftp impact 558 Feb 17 22:36 XEDPRT
-rw-rw-r-- 1 trtsftp impact 558 Feb 17 22:37 XEPRNT
-rw-rw-r-- 1 trtsftp impact 828 Feb 17 22:37 XUPRNT
Please advise.

Hi,
See attached code below.
You need to change the folder variable from /tmp to what ever you need it to be and also the X* to be what you would like it to be.
This would either to into an existing shell script or into it's how shell script.

for i in `ls "$folder"/X*`; do
unix2dos "$folder"/$i "$folder"/$i.tmp
mv "$folder"/$i.tmp "$folder"/$i
