Hi - I am totally new to UNIX so please bear with me...
I run a java program on Win NT server to do file ftp to UNIX server.
I log in, cd, create ftp file on UNIX and quit from my java progam - all works well.

Now I want to execute a script on UNIX.
At the UNIX 'console'/'shell' (!?) you type in:
./test
for the script to execute.
If I send the command "./test" from my java program, I get an error: "command not understood". I am in the correct directory where the "test" script is; and commands like "user xxxx" and "pass yyyy", and "cwd /home/mydir/" works fine.

Any ideas?

Tx,

You have connected via the ftp protocol. You can do "get" or "put". But all you can do is move files around. You cannot run remote scripts via ftp.

You need to get your java program to connect via ssh or telnet to get a shell prompt. Then you can run "./test".

And btw, "test" is not a great name. Unix has a "test" command.
