file from windows folder to unix box other that FTP?

[$aravana]

Hi,
I am trying to transfer a file from windows floder(say "D:\test\file1.txt") to UNIX box (Say IP:"xxx"& path "$Home\test").

So i need a perl script to move the file from the window to unix.

Thanks in advance!!!

Shalom,

All recent versions of windows have Samba/CIFS built in.

Set up a windows share with the windows GUI first.

Install CIFS/9000 Client from http://software.hp.com on the HP-UX box.

This will require a reboot to install kernel modules.

At this point you will be able to use cifs tools to connect to the windows share enabling file transfer by perl script, shell script or many other means.

I'd use SFTP (which is far superior in many respects.

Using perl, you could cobble a script which uses the 'Net::SFTP::Foreign' perl module.

Of course, you could do even less work by installing something like 'winscp' on your Windows box:

Why "other tha[n?] FTP"?

Why perl, specifically?

On which system were you planning to run this
perl script?

Hi,
Other then FTP you can download 3rd party utility like SFTP, WFTP.
install into your desktop and transfer file to your Unix box.

Hi


You have several options here:


- winscp
- ftp
- cifs/mount


The easiest is the winscp just install on your windows machine and then connect to the unix box by ftp sftp or scp.

If you need any more information reply.

Please assign some points.
