Take a spin with some easy Bash loops.

Tue, 11/06/2007 - 06:24 — symph0ny

Bash has easily been the top shell for linux users in the last decade, and that's not without it's reasons. Bash follows a better syntax than tcsh, and other earlier shells, which means it can be a better tool, once you know it. Covering a whole language is too big of a topic for a tutorial entry, so I'll start with a couple loops.

Bash has some innovative loop constucts, which are both useful and annoying for starting coders. Unlike C (and tcsh), where you see lots of for loops, Bash only uses a special for-each loop, and a standard while loop.

If you are in a Linux/Unix environment and need a quick and secure way to copy files I suggest using scp from the command-line. SSH and OpenSSH provide the scp application, which allows you to connect and transfer files on servers running an encrypted FTP service. (ssh daemon)

 

Rsync Tutorial
