Monitoring Secure FTP file and Download it via Power-shell

Hi Readers,

Recently we have written as script to monitor if the particular file has been uploaded to secure FTP or not.

If its not uploaded that script will send us alert that Today’s file has not been uploaded, if its uploaded than it will download & move it to FileV3Files folder with date stamp.

We have achieved this by using Powershell along with Curl utility

http://curl.haxx.se/

Extract the Zip file from below Link

https://github.com/VikasSukhija/Downloads/blob/master/sftpfiledownloadmonitoring.zip

 

Edit FileV3Mon.ps1 Shell script

Change the Variables:(I reference here FileV3.csv, you might want to monitor different file, change the script accordingly)

———————————————————————————————-

$smtpServer = “smtp.labtest.com”

$fromadd = “DoNotReply@labtest.com”

$email1 = “Sukhija@labtest.com”

 

.\cURL\curl.exe -u User:Password -R -O ftps://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/FileV3.csv -k

Note: Change the syntax for SFTP – https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manual.html

———————————————————————————————-

After variables are changed, you can schedule the script to run daily at time you expect file to be present on SFTP.
