smbclient script putting several files with variable

I want to put a whole directory that contains pdf files on another server with a smbclientscript. My script: 

    #Set variable for reports
variable=`ls | grep pdf`

smbclient -U "server\user"%pw //some/direc/tory/bla/bla << Commands
cd to/another/dir
put $variable
exit
Commands

It actually works, but the problem ist that it can only copy the first file that is listet bei ls | grep pdf. For the other Files the shell responds with file:command not found.

Solution

  • I got the solution be myself:

    cd /directory/with/files/to/copy
#Set Variable
reports=$(ls *)
for i in $reports ; do

    smbclient -U "srv\User"%pws //some/dir/bla/bla/bla << Commands
    cd another/dir/etc
    put $i
    exit
    Commands
    done

    Thanks!
