Sorry willyw, I had not read your answer.

The upload was made in binary format and it works.
I read that for the .txt files is advisable ascii.
But now that I work properly, I do not want to try anything else.

Did you see the solution I found in the previous answer ?
Thanks to you and caesar for their support .

I did it!
In the end I used this tutorial .
Combining the .netrc file with FTP macros and bash script.
The .ntrc file provides security so that passwords are not stored in plain text.
Then the orders are given by macdef (FTP macros) .
At the end I invoke the macro created with a bash script.

Code:

> Echo " $ updateTxt " | ftp -v ftp.ejemplo.com

.netrc file with macro:

Code:

machine ftp.ejemplo.comlogin user_loginpassword the_user_passmacdef updateTxtlcd /home/juan/datascd /www/data/txtsput myfile.txtbye

updata.sh script:

Code:

#!/bin/shecho "$ updateTxt" | ftp -v ftp.ejemplo.com

crontab:

Code:

* * * * * /home/juan/datas/updata.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

But , not upload nothing ....
...
Any suggestions ?

This works for me. Runs once daily, via crontab:

Code:

ftp -n -v -p <

You will need to decide if you need the 
ascii
command and the 
cd
command.  You may or may not need them.Statistics: Posted by willyw — Sat May 07, 2016 4:42 pm

I had problems permission to record the file jajaja!

I could already record the log in my directory and I found something interesting ....
The crontab runs !
But , not upload nothing ....
The crontab log:local: live.txt remote: live.txt
221-Goodbye. You uploaded 0 and downloaded 0 kbytes.
221 Logout.
What worries me is this: You uploaded 0
Manually ejecution log:local: live.txt remote: live.txt
227 Entering Passive Mode (xxx,xxx,xx,xxx,227,44)
150 Accepted data connection
226-File successfully transferred
226 0.006 seconds (measured here), 4.62 Kbytes per second
28 bytes sent in 5,1e-05 secs (549,02 Kbytes/sec)
221-Goodbye. You uploaded 1 and downloaded 0 kbytes.
221 Logout.


New conclusion: If the script execution is manually upload the file, if done through a crontab not upload.
Any suggestions ?Statistics: Posted by juanamores — Sat May 07, 2016 4:15 pm

Conclusion: crontab does not run  

Do something more simple to test if crontab is running.

Use nano to create a plain text file - in your home dir - with one line in it, like this:
Code: 
date >> /home/your_name_here/somefilename
Use chmod to make this new file you have just created executable.
If you named the new file tempfile , it would be
chmod u+x tempfile

Check to be sure it is executable by viewing the list of files and permissions with:
ls -latr

Next:
add a line like this in crontab:Code: 
* * * * * /home/your_name_here/tempfile >/dev/null 2>&1
and save.

It will run once every minute.
(I just did this - that above line is copy-n-paste from my crontab, with one obvious edit -  and it works.

It will write the date and time to the file named   somefilename
in your home dir, every minute, on the minute.
It will be very easy to see if it is working.   Statistics: Posted by willyw — Sat May 07, 2016 3:39 pm

Supposedly with the following code, puts the output of the commands into the log file "mylog", but is not stored in /var/log/mylogCode: 
* * * * * /home/juan/mycode.sh >>/var/log/mylog
Code: 
[juan@vps804251 ~]$ cd /var/log[juan@vps174886 log]$ pwd/var/log[juan@vps174886 log]$ find mylogfind: ‘mylog’: No such file or directory
With the "ls" command  I do not see that file.

I try Code: 
 * * * * *
 
This is the usual way of doing 'every minute'

I just noticed this post of yours now....Statistics: Posted by willyw — Fri May 06, 2016 10:33 am

...Code:

...It has to be every minute, ...
Your line quoted first above, is not the standard way of doing 'every minute'.

Check out:
https://www.pantz.org/software/cron/croninfo.html

for an example of how to do it every minute.

I hope this helps.Statistics: Posted by willyw — Fri May 06, 2016 10:30 am

It has to be every minute, this script checks the change songs on the radio .
The songs last more than a minute, but the DJ can change the song, so you should check minute a minute.

I try Code: 
 * * * * *
 and Code: 
0-59 * * * *
 and Code: 
1,2,3......59 * * * *
 y don´t work.

But, you think the cron does not work for the short period of time?
I tried every 3 and every 5 minutes and it has not worked .
I think that is another problem ...Statistics: Posted by juanamores — Fri May 06, 2016 10:22 am

Thanks caesar by your contribution, and I did work with a bash script , I have a problem with me crontab does not work with this script  
It's weird, because all crontabs works properly .
I used this example to the bash.
My crontab entry for this script is:Code: 
* */1 * * * /home/juan/mycode.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
Script doesn't run via crontab, but works fine standalone in the linux console with:Code: 
sh mycode.sh
I've tried other configurations without success for the moment ...Statistics: Posted by juanamores — Fri May 06, 2016 12:13 am
