Check FTP login data using bash

Question

In order to check for FTP connection in the bash script with simple login data. 

I used wput and grep to get my output. Can anyone tell me how to do it in a simple way?

Answer 1

To test the connection with wget, see the code below:

wget --spider --tries=1 --user=login --password=pass ftp://your-ftp.com/

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then

    echo "Failed to connect to ftp host"

fi

See the below code snippet for FTP connect: 

echo 'exit' | ftp ftp://login:[email protected]/

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then

    echo "Failed to connect to ftp host"

fi
