File Transfer Issue (Sftpg3)

[Tectia]

I am having issue in file transfer using sftpg3. Before FTP I am compressing the file and transferred to unix server. Eventhough transfer file is Compressed when it reaches unix side the file type was change to "Data Type".

Highlight of the issue is only Batchlid and not UID.

So kindly let me what will be the issue with batchlid?

You'll need to contact Tectia. HP-UX has no file types like PCs. It is either an ordinary file or a directory. Special files like device files or FIFOs, etc cannot be transferred with (s)ftp. Compressed means different things to different operating systems. HP-UX has compress and gzip as tools to uncompress files. What model of HP-UX server are you using and what is the source of the files?

>>file type was change to "Data Type".

How did you determine this?

Were you not able to uncompress the file after it was transferred to Unix?

Hi,
If you are using FTP to transfer data then do transfer into binary mode.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes we are transfering in Bin mode. Also we checked the format of the file in Unix was Data type even though we transfered in compressed form.

What's "sftpg3"?

FTP or SFTP? Compressing how, exactly?
Transferred from what, exactly, to what,
exactly? How, exactly? What, exactly, is
this "unix server"?

uname -a

Says who? Where are you getting this
information?

What's a "Batchlid"? What is "the issue"?
(Is it anything like a _problem_?)

If you explain what you're talking about,
then someone might be able to tell you
something useful.

As usual, showing actual commands with their
actual output can be more helpful than vague
descriptions and interpretations.
