saveas list box UNIX style

[Deanna Helie]

Does anyone has any idea where I can get some software (source code) that will pull a directory listing from a UNIX server and display the contents on the user's workstation. This is similiar to the "saveas" listbox in MSWindows. I am trying to write code that would retrive the directory contents of a home user account on a UNIX server and display it. I was thinking that the way FTP concept would be the best way.

Shalom,

You might try one of the google desktop tools and firefox for HP-UX.

There may be something in Internet Express in http://software.hp.com

v12 is only 11.23 and 11.31 HP-UX

Hi Deanna:

How about Perl and the 'Tk' module?

thanks for the suggestions but the software will be executed from the user's PC workstation with is running XP.

install CIFS server on HP-UX and you can just browse the CIFS shares just like any other Windows shares on the Windows workstation.

So why not use FTP?

For Windows? This may not be the best forum
for the question.

And once you have this file listing, what do
you intend to do with it?

This appears to be a continuation of your previous Save As thread:

FTP concept is what I was thinking about. This gives the user the ability to pick the directory that the user wants to save the report file to on the front end (windows workstation)and I can do a RPC call to UNIX to save the report file in the directory that the user selected.

I will check up on CIFS server...

Hi (again) Deanna:

If you want to deploy common code on Unix and on Windows, I would look (again) to Perl. Since you are thinking FTP, remember that Perl has a nice 'Net::FTP' module as well as a ones for SFTP (e.g. 'Net::SFTP::Foreign').

If you want a "Windows-like" look, one way is with Perl's 'Tk'.
