Hi,

You need to automate it using FTP. Check this thread for more information : http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=101940

Hi,
logical steps:
ftp -n ip-address
user usr-name usr-pwd
put file
bye

You may also want to consider the unix2dos facility to make the UNIX file DOS compatible.

with ssh setup the ssh-keys on the windows host for the user, then you can use ssh to copy the files.

Hi,

Do i need to install Openssh server on windows machine. Also can you give me some brief steps of how to set up ssh-keys on windows machine.


Bye.

[Marvin Strong]

yes the windows machine will need ssh installed.

then create a user on the windows server.
add the unix users public key to the windows users authorized_keys file.

that should be it. don't think I left out any steps.

Chakravarthy,

Otherway to copy files from windows is just download putty from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and it is just a binary file. Then go to command line on windows, c:\cd program files\putty, then look for psftp.exe which is basically does same ftp functions.

Thanks,

Not sure if CIFS would apply here or not, but I have had some success in porting files from a UNIX system to a Windows system by installing the CIFS client on the UNIX system and mounting the Windows system as described in the following URL:

I use CIFS mount points on my unix box to mount the Windoze share as a directory on my unix box.

CIFS simply makes a Windows box look like an NFS mount point,

Create a directory on your unix box you what to mount,

Put an entry in your /etc/fstab for the mount point

Make the Share available on the Windoze box

mount the directort.

Then copy files at will to and from the mount point in crontab

I use Fedora FC4 or FC5 as my primary linux boxes to perform the "duty" I use Webmin to manage the File System mounts.
