Help with tracking .netrc macro


Recommended Posts

I took over a few 3rd party servers in January and one has stopped sending a regular data feed via ftp .netrc.

 

The .netrc file is being generated daily just fine.

 

The problem is the path to the file it needs to ftp is incorrect.

 

It is generating this in root:

machine ftp.remotesite.net login remoteuser  password remotepword
macdef init
cd listings
ascii
put dailyfile_03112009.out 299.txt
quit

But the file "dailyfile_03112009.out" is not in root, it is in a folder: "/usr/folder/dailyfile_03112009.out".

 

This doesn't seem to be doing anything at all other than being created.

 

Is there any way to find out how the file was generated? Is there something similar to "-l crontab" to show all cron jobs?

 

Any help would be appreciated.
