Hi all,

I'm working on Windows, connecting to my Unix account by different ways: by FTP opening files in UltraEdit32, by mapping drive to browse, by Exceed or Telnet to compile at Unix account. Actually, that is what I would like to change:

I'd like to make a batch file which would connect to my Unix account and run there the compilation commands. Then I could compile clicking a button at UltraEdit32.

Could you please tell me how I can do it?

Thank you,
Olga.

P.S. Sorry if I offend you by wanting to work on Windows. :) I just like UltraEdit32 and its possibility to bind many instances and processes around.

I don't understand. Compile it under UNIX, then, once it's compiled, compile it??

Are you really using telnet instead of ssh?

I'm not offended, but the difficulty of using this kind of stuff is the primary reason not to use windows... I know of no straightforward way to automating this... Windows fights you every inch of the way. You might need to create a custom program.

I meant, if I had such a batch file, I could run all the compilation process by clicking one button in UltraEdit.

That's actually why I want to work on Windows, because of the possbilities of UltraEdit, I've never seen any other code editor that would be so convenient.

I was advised today of using rexec, but as I see, at our servers -p is disabled, probably for security reasons, so maybe there is another option? Maybe somehting they haven't thought of... :)

Thank you for trying to help,
Olga.

Olga,

It is possible indeed, however the lack of details make it difficult to suggest anything. I had similar configuration by tuning up Exceed (with bounded extensions) some years ago.
As the requirement is not unique, you may wish checking your options with third part telnet, ssh2 and so on implementations also.

Sorry for a vagueness.

Which details would you need? How ssh2 and telnet could help?

... in other words, you want to use a Windows program to compile code in a unix machine.
... you just can't do that.

You'll need much more than just a batch file, if it's even possible. There are a couple of applications out there that will let you install and run some Windows programs in Linux (like Cross Over Office ) , but I doubt it'd support a compiler.

Cygwin may make it easier to do what you want.
