ftp - Wait until zip fully written then continue, Bash Script -

i've been trying zip file , upload ftp using bash script, it's uploading corrupt zip file. i've had around , i'm trying use lsof | grep confirm file complete i'm not sure i'm doing.

so i've got

cd /var/test/tobezipped zip -r test.zip * folder="/var/test/tobezipped" zips=$(ls $folder) f in $zips ;   while [ -n "$(lsof | grep $f" ] ;   sleep 1 done ftp -n <<eof open myserver user user pass put test.zip eof done 

and test.zip corrupt @ time it's being uploaded, on other server it's not readable on server it's zipped on it's time check it.

any kind of advice appreciated, i'm pretty new sort of thing , tried search around heaps find solution, not sure i'm going in right direction. in advance.

from man page:

put local-file [remote-file] store local file on remote machine. if remote-file left unspecified, local file name used after processing according ntrans or nmap settings in naming remote file. file transfer uses current settings type, format, mode, , structure.

i guess problem not transfering files in binary mode.

try this:

ftp -n <<eof open myserver user user pass binary put test.zip eof
