Hi,
I need to write a shell script which will do the below operation.

Shell script will be executed in unix server A, it should get a file/directory from unix server B and store it in unix server A. How to do this?

Is that with the same user ID? you can use ftp, rcp, etc.

Yes ... u can just use ftp server name to connect to that server and download whatever u need .... ftp can be used inside the script as well ...

try something like this if u intend to do this from a shell script ...

(
echo "
open servername or ip number
user username passwd
bin
cd \"ur target path here\"
dir ur source path
mget filename
close
"
) | ftp -nv > TempLogFtp.log

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I know only the servername i don't know the user name and password then in that case how to do that?

If you do not have access to that server (user name and password), then you cannot ftp or copy from it.
