ftp from unix to windows 2000 server

[mike worrell]

I have a script that has the following syntax
to ftp a file from a unix box to a windows server using a local user on the windows box
ftp -n serverwinx <user docm1 Passwdx
cd /tmp
put triggerfile
endFTP
We need to change the user to a domain acct user which would be nacorp\docm1
When I change that in the above script it will not work,
However if you do an interactive ftp it works like this for example
ftp serverwinx
naipaper\docm1 Passwdx
cd /tmp
put triggerfile
This works fine from the commandline, but you can't use in a script like this due to it asking you for user and password.
Are there any other options other than -n I may need to use .
Reason for this is they are doing away with the local accounts and making all use the domain accounts.
HELP
Thanks

In your script, try changing the "\" in the username to "\\". The shell interprets the \ as a special character marker. It's omitted when a special character is not there.

Not guaranteed to work, but it may.

Mike -
I would follow along with the previous post -

Suggestion #2

'naipaper\docm1'

or

export logname="naipaper\docm1"

ftp -n etc,etc
user '$logname' Passwdx

etc
etc

Best of luck.
