Copy log files to local machines using Jenkins

Question

I want to copy log files to local machines using jenkins. Is there any script for it.? I tried one but it isn't working.

#!/bin/sh

USER=< ssh user>
HOST=< remote host>
LOG_DIR=< log file location>
FILE=< log file>
cmd="ssh $USER@$HOST cat $LOG_DIR/$FILE"

echo $cmd
$cmd

Try initializing the variables with values according to you particular situation like set HOST,USER,etc to their respective correct values.
 

#!/bin/sh
USER=login_of_user_on_remote_system_that_can_access_logs
HOST=host.name.of.remote.host
LOG_DIR=/absolute/path/to/where/the/log/file/is/
FILE=name_of.log
DESTINATION_DIR=/where/to/save/log/on/local/host/

scp $USER@$HOST:$LOG_DIR/$FILE" $DESTINATION_DIR
