Often I have to copy the same files to a new linux guest. For that reason I setup a linux server with services like NFS, FTP, HTTP etc. To copy files from the server to the client there are a lot of possibilities. I'm just taking two of them in this example - CURLS and FTP - combined with a small bash script - a kind of a small piece of ftp automatization. Be aware I'm not covering any security tasks! I'm just working in a test environment.
Curl is a really powerful and versatile tool. Please, see more and in detail under http://curl.haxx.se .
What I'm going to do?
- First become to be root and change to the directory /usr/local/bin.
- Then I'm copying the script 'getfiles' and a datafile 'ftp.data' which contains userid, password, path to files and filenames which have been to copy. After copying I'have to make the script 'getfiles' executable.
- Run the script.
So from the ftp-server on 10.199.10.50 (SLES11FT) we'd like to get the files below and copy them into /usr/local/bin/. Furthermore the script will check/create a directory 'download' , copy files into it and copy '.alias' into the root directory. After downloading the files, rename them for using i.e. remove .txt or maybe add a dot (in case of the alias) and modify them to your needs.

| getfiles | # a script including ftp automatization |
| ftp.data | # the data file including userid, password, files to download |
| bs | # script to create scripts |
| turnoffservices | # script to turnoff unnecessary services |
| systeminfo | # script to get some systeminfo of a linuxguest |
| # some defined aliases | |
| Directory /app_sources | |
| nmon_mainframe_sles11 | # nmon application for SLES11 |
| dstat-0.7.2.tar | # statistic application |
| htop-0.9.tar.gz | # a better alternative for top, the source code which we have to compile and install |
| s 390-tools-1.17.0.tar | # some specific s390x tools |

Another way is to use ftp going directly to the appropriate directory 'configs/'.
The option -i turns off the interactive prompting during multiple file transfers.
