Hi Eric,

Assuming there's an ftp deamon on windows, here's a same-like thread:

If you can use R'commands, then on your windoze box use rcp:

rcp -b C:\FILEPATH\FILENAME UXhostNAME.USERNAME:/path

Put it in a windoze script and then add it to the windoze scheduler.

Hi Eric,

i have still an active process as yours
and upto now i have never seen any error...
Before this i have asked this in this forums
but it was urgent then i searched in internet
and found a software which was installed my
W2k server named Winsock RSHD/NT4 from
Denicomp...
For a single server it is not expensive and
also it very easy to install...this software
accepts rcp commands from any Ux systems in your network.
One of my production Ux server i have written
a very primitive script and put it onto my cron.
For exp;
Let's say that you wanna put some *.txt files
from UX --->W2k
then script likes;
cd source_dir
test -f *.txt && rcp -p *.txt ip_adress_W2k:/blah

from W2k--->UX
again script locates on my Ux box;
cd source_dir
rcp -p ip_adress_W2k:/blah* .

that's all...

Good luck,

Even better - download the Cygwin toolset, and use the ftp or sftp applications with the bash shell that you can run. Cygwin is FREE from www.cygwin.com. It provides a UNIX shell, xwindows, a couple of x-desktops, gcc, awk, sed, wc, etc (all the good UNIX command line tools and development sets you need). Believe me, once you get an xterm with a nice bash shell on your Windoze box - you'll feel right at home and you won't have to bother with DOS. It also comes with a cron application, but I've not set it up to run yet.

What about free things, you already have ?

On your windows server, activate ftp service. cron a script on the unix box to get the file. In order to use ftp in a shell, lokk at the -n option. It will log without asking for user/pass. You'll have to supply them with user and pass commands.

for example :
ftp -n myWinServer << EOF
USER bob
PASS hisPass
cd thecorrectdir
get theFile
quit
EOF

Fred

Well... the simple way, embed the password in your script:

Yourfile=c:\somedir\file

ftp -nv w2kserver<>$LogFile
user ntuser ntuserpassword
bin
get $Yourfile
quit
EndFTP

A litle more secure - use a .netrc file - place in the home dir of the user that executes the script with permission 400

machine w2kserver login ntuser password ntuserpassword

Then the script:
Yourfile=c:\somedir\file

ftp -nv w2kserver<>$LogFile
bin
get $Yourfile
quit
EndFTP

You could also look at CIFS to accomplish this as well...

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

I'm analysing all the options given until now. After this I will assign points for all answers.

Harry,

What are "R'commands"? Remote commands??

Thanks,

Eric Antunes

Re: I need a UX-Windows ftp script...

Fred Ruffet — Wed, 25 May 2005 10:34:09 GMT

Rcommands are rlogin, rsh and rcp.
They are available on windows with the appropriate software.

Fred

Hi all,

Using this script:

myfile=d:\dados\fab_ora\planeado.txt
ftp -nv windoze_server << EOT
user administrator pass
get $myfile
quit
EOT

I get:

"
...
d:dadosfab_oraplaneado.txt: The system cannot find the file specified."

Any clue??

Thanks,

Eric Antunes

It is a ftp server. Not a *good* ftp server :)

You must cd, before get. Get with absolute path won't work

Hi Fred,

It is a windoze ftp server: I cannot expect much more... :)

Try quoting it:

myfile="d:\dados\fab_ora\planeado.txt"
ftp -nv windoze_server << EOT
user administrator pass
get $myfile
quit
EOT

On your windoze box, create a batch file:

cd c:\hbrown\downloads
rcp -b boinc-hpux_32+64.tar.gz vpart1.root:/var

on your UX box, allow the user "root" from your windoze box to use .rhosts.

then on your windoze box (For XP:)

control panel->Scheduled tasks->add scheduled task
follow the "other" thirty instructions and then set the time to execute.

I did a one timer, and it worked great.

Harry,

I get:

"remshd: login incorrect" on the windoze server...

What do I need to put in .rhosts? I puted the following in .rhosts:

Is it wrong??

Geoff,

Quoting doesn't work either... I'm asking the windoze administrator to give me a ftp user with an approriate home (d:...)

Thanks,

Eric

Eric,

The .rhosts file on the UX server should read like this.

Even though you are passing the root login to unix host, the local user (windows login) must be trusted by unix. You should try the windows loginname.

Thaya had the same problem. Check this thread:

Naveej,

That's exactly this I have in .rhosts but no results...

Anyway, I'm going trought FTP since I got the right ftp home (d:\dados\fab_ora).

PS: I'll close this thread in the afternoon if no one have nothing more to say about the .rhosts issue!

Thanks to all,
