Hi,

Mount the NAS box filesystem on HP-UX server as NFS mount then schedule a crontab to do the file transfer on weekly basis.

You can also consider rsync to do the file transfer.

Shalom,

Edit /etc/exports on the Linux(NAS) box.

exports -av

showmount -e host_name_linux

That will show you the shares.

You can use automounter or a simple mount -t nfs to mount, cp command to copy the files then umount to close the mount.

Many other possibilities sir if you do not want to go the CIFS (aka SMB) or NFS approach. TO wit:

rsync
ftp
scp
rcp
smbclient

Pick one.

Hi Jeeva,

The standard method of doing it is in the steps below..

Steps to configure:

1. Share the FS on the NAS box

2. Mount it on the HP_UX box as NFS or autofs

3. Create a simple script to copy the files to the destination directory, adn schedule it to occur every week on the desired date

Hope this would do...

Dear Guru,s

Sorry for delay in responds and for confusing.My NAS box is connected to windows server not o linux.

Any way I have tried(In test machine) with CIFSmount(Samba) and its working fine.But in production server Iam not sute that will get permission to enable Samba.


Because of this am planning for the SSH password less authentication file transfer using SCP. I know how to configure the same between two UNIX boxes, but want GURU's help to configure the same between UNIX box and windows server.


Please help me to sort it out.


Thanks

if you have both (source & destination) in linux/unix use rsync

if you have both (source & destination) in windows use robocopy
