I have transfered files from PC to unix using rpc using the following format

C:\rcp sqlnet.log abc.fori5zut:sqlnet.log

Here
sqlnet.log file is the file on the PC.
abc-->unix hostname
fori5zut--->username
sqlnet.log1-->destination file name

Before you do that make sure you have proper entries in the .rhosts file of the user

Thanks

hi,

it is possible. i earlier had a NT PC running a ftp server and i had to ftp server and i had scheduled a cron job to do this.

also, you can use the windows scheduler to schedule a script which will pull files from the unix box.

Hi,
I guest there are a lot of method you can use to ftp the file from PC to unix or vice versa.Last time we use a software called SAMBA to mapped the Unix Disk to PC.The unix disk will appear something like folder in the PC.

http://www.samba.org/

But the problem is you need to installed/configure the software in Unix and PC.

Good Luck

The doc in the above response gives the details of rcp from UNIX to NT

Yes. You can also use ftp, but rcp is easier because it is command-line oriented and hence can be more easily used in a script.

I recommend scp

From Secure shell

Here is a link to the free software.

Secure Shell: a replacement for rcp ftp and telnet that encrypts passwords

http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=T1471AA

Attached are instructions on exchanging public keys so passwords will not be required for the file transfer.

Then you just set it up in cron on Unix boxes, and scheduled tasks on Windows.
