Unix script to ftp files to a Windows system from a Unix Box

[Venkat Naidu]

Hi,

I am in need of a unix script which reads a flat file which has the filename in column1 and the target location in column2.
The script should copy the files from the unix box by reading column1 and place them in the target location mentioned in the respective column2. The target location is always a fodler in the Windows system. But it varies based on the filename.

Tha script should handle all everything like connecting to the server,while taking care of access permissions, etc.

Please help me in this.

Thanks,
Venky

Shalom,

I will have to assume that the windows server is running windows ftp server or this will never work.

Standard ftp commands will work, nothing else. Default permissions are set at the server.

ftp -n << ENDFTP
user
prompt
ascii
lcd
cd
mget *
ENDFTP
