I am trying to move all the *.csv files to another folder on server but every time i get access failed error , I am able to get all the files to local server using mget but mv fails everytime , i can see the file on the server and got full permissions on the files, sh script is not working with wild characters. struck here with the simple command .
Download to local directory
localDir="/home/toor/UCDownloads/"
[ ! -d $localDir ] && mkdir -p $localDir
#sftp in the file directory to be downloaded
remoteDir="/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Lanein1/Unicard/"
#The file to be downloaded is fileName
lftp -u ${sftp_user},${password} sftp://${host}:${port}<<EOF

mv "/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Lanein1/Unicard/"*.csv "/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Lanein1/Unicard/Archives/"
#rm /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Lanein1/Unicard/!(*.pdf)

This is not a shell or Bash problem. It is a LFTP problem.
From the manual of LFTP:
mv file1 file2
Rename file1 to file2. No wildcard expansion is performed.
LFTP just does not support what you asking for. It will treat *.csv as a part of the file name.
See here for an alternative.
I'm using using VSCode Remote SSH from my laptop (Linux) to work on projects that resides on a Linux host.
If I open an internal terminal in VSCode I can open files from the host by doing code some_file.txt. I frequently want to be able to do the same from terminals that are not originating from VSCode.
Is there anyway to open files in the VSCode-server while connected to a standard (Non VSCode internal) terminal?
From another StackOverflow answer, I learned that if you open an integrated terminal and find the VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI environment variable, and set it to the same value in the non-integrated terminal, then run code from the code server install directory ~/.vscode-server, it will work. That article didn't mention that you can have more than one install in the ~/.vscode-server directory. The current install can be extracted from the VSCODE_GIT_ASKPASS_MODE variable, it looks like this:
$ echo $VSCODE_GIT_ASKPASS_NODE
/home/<user>/.vscode-server/bin/054a9295330880ed74ceaedda236253b4f39a335/node
Just chop off the node and add bin, and so run something like
$ /home/<user>/.vscode-server/bin/054a9295330880ed74ceaedda236253b4f39a335/bin/code myfile.txt
Edit:
Here is a small script that will connect the terminal to the latest created vscode window.
❯ cat ~/.local/bin/connect_vscode.sh
export PATH="${HOME}/.vscode-server/bin/$(ls -t1 ${HOME}/.vscode-server/bin | head -n 1)/bin:${PATH}"
export VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI="$(ls -t1 /run/user/$(id -u)/vscode-ipc-* | head -n 1)"
# Tell tmux to set these variables for new windows/panes.
# Remove if you don't use tmux
tmux setenv PATH "$PATH"
tmux setenv VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI "$VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI"
None of the answers on this thread worked for me (due to more recent versions of VS-Code changing it's internal paths and I'm running a preview version).
I'm linking this similar/identical question+my solution:
VSCode Remote SSH doesn't open file from terminal
Hope it helps. 😉
C. R. Oldham's answer covers the technical detail of why/how.
If you want a 1-liner that works as an alias in your ~/.bash_profile:
# Open file in most recently-connected remote VSCode session.
alias code=$'VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI=/run/user/`id -u`/$(ls -lt /run/user/`id -u`/ | egrep \.sock$ | head -1 | awk \'END {print $NF}\') `ls -lt ~/.vscode-server/bin/** | fgrep bin/remote-cli/code | head -1 | awk \'END {print $NF}\'`'
I am able to get the file name of a last created/modified file in a current directory with this command:
ls -t | head -n1
then the obtained file name I use it with mv command to move it to a directory.
and I'm trying to do it like this:
mv $(ls -t | head -n1) directory/
But it doesn't move the file.
What am I doing wrong?
Maybe like this:
mv "$(ls -t | head -n1)" directory/
I want to download an entire website using the wget -r command and change the name of the file.
I have tried with:
wget -r -o doc.txt "http....
hoping that the OS would have automatically create file in order like doc1.txt doc2.txt but It actually save the stream of the stdout in that file.
Is there any way to do this with just one command?
Thanks!
-r tells wget to recursively get resources from a host.
-o file saves log messages to file instead of the standard error. I think that is not what you are looking for, I think it is -O file.
-O file stores the resource(s) in the given file, instead of creating a file in the current directory with the name of the resource. If used in conjunction with -r, it causes wget to store all resources concatenated to that file.
Since wget -r downloads and stores more than one file, recreating the server file tree in the local system, it has no sense to indicate the name of one file to store.
If what you want is to rename all downloaded files to match the pattern docX.txt, you can do it with a different command after wget has end:
wget -r http....
i=1
while read file
do
mv "$file" "$(dirname "$file")/doc$i.txt"
i=$(( $i + 1 ))
done < <(find . -type f)
I suppose I could compare the number of files in the source directory to the number of files in the target directory as cp progresses, or perhaps do it with folder size instead? I tried to find examples, but all bash progress bars seem to be written for copying single files. I want to copy a bunch of files (or a directory, if the former is not possible).
You can also use rsync instead of cp like this:
rsync -Pa source destination
Which will give you a progress bar and estimated time of completion. Very handy.
To show a progress bar while doing a recursive copy of files & folders & subfolders (including links and file attributes), you can use gcp (easily installed in Ubuntu and Debian by running "sudo apt-get install gcp"):
gcp -rf SRC DEST
Here is the typical output while copying a large folder of files:
Copying 1.33 GiB 73% |##################### | 230.19 M/s ETA: 00:00:07
Notice that it shows just one progress bar for the whole operation, whereas if you want a single progress bar per file, you can use rsync:
rsync -ah --progress SRC DEST
You may have a look at the tool vcp. Thats a simple copy tool with two progress bars: One for the current file, and one for overall.
EDIT
Here is the link to the sources: http://members.iinet.net.au/~lynx/vcp/
Manpage can be found here: http://linux.die.net/man/1/vcp
Most distributions have a package for it.
Here another solution: Use the tool bar
You could invoke it like this:
#!/bin/bash
filesize=$(du -sb ${1} | awk '{ print $1 }')
tar -cf - -C ${1} ./ | bar --size ${filesize} | tar -xf - -C ${2}
You have to go the way over tar, and it will be inaccurate on small files. Also you must take care that the target directory exists. But it is a way.
My preferred option is Advanced Copy, as it uses the original cp source files.
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.21.tar.xz
$ tar xvJf coreutils-8.21.tar.xz
$ cd coreutils-8.21/
$ wget --no-check-certificate wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jarun/advcpmv/master/advcpmv-0.8-8.32.patch
$ patch -p1 -i advcpmv-0.8-8.32.patch
$ ./configure
$ make
The new programs are now located in src/cp and src/mv. You may choose to replace your existing commands:
$ sudo cp src/cp /usr/local/bin/cp
$ sudo cp src/mv /usr/local/bin/mv
Then you can use cp as usual, or specify -g to show the progress bar:
$ cp -g src dest
A simple unix way is to go to the destination directory and do watch -n 5 du -s . Perhaps make it more pretty by showing as a bar . This can help in environments where you have just the standard unix utils and no scope of installing additional files . du-sh is the key , watch is to just do every 5 seconds.
Pros : Works on any unix system Cons : No Progress Bar
To add another option, you can use cpv. It uses pv to imitate the usage of cp.
It works like pv but you can use it to recursively copy directories
You can get it here
There's a tool pv to do this exact thing: http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml
There's a ubuntu version in apt
How about something like
find . -type f | pv -s $(find . -type f | wc -c) | xargs -i cp {} --parents /DEST/$(dirname {})
It finds all the files in the current directory, pipes that through PV while giving PV an estimated size so the progress meter works and then piping that to a CP command with the --parents flag so the DEST path matches the SRC path.
One problem I have yet to overcome is that if you issue this command
find /home/user/test -type f | pv -s $(find . -type f | wc -c) | xargs -i cp {} --parents /www/test/$(dirname {})
the destination path becomes /www/test/home/user/test/....FILES... and I am unsure how to tell the command to get rid of the '/home/user/test' part. That why I have to run it from inside the SRC directory.
Check the source code for progress_bar in the below git repository of mine

Also try custom bash script package supreme to verify how progress bar work with cp and mv comands

There is command progress, https://github.com/Xfennec/progress, coreutils progress viewer.
Just run progress in another terminal to see the copy/move progress. For continuous monitoring use -M flag.
