sftp avoid exit when file is not found

Question

I have this script:

filePattern=\'sor.log*\'
filePattern2=\'sor.SOR.log*\'
myLocation=/opt/tradertools/omer
clientLocation=/opt/tradertools/omer/sor/from
cli         


        

Answer 1

Quoting the sftp man page:

sftp will abort if any of the following commands fail: get, put, reget, reput, rename, ln, rm, mkdir, chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown, chgrp, lpwd, df, symlink, and lmkdir. Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by prefixing the command with a - character (for example, -rm /tmp/blah*).

So use:

-get $clientLocation/$filePattern2 $myLocation
