UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

download putty and use telnet from windows to connect to the sun box

telnet is usually installed on unix systems although for security reasons it's disabled sometimes

Putty does have command line ssh available, so thats a good idea. But I would say don't telnet into the sun box. Do this instead.

1. Download Putty for windows (make sure to also get the ssh command line interface)
2. Install OpenSSH on the Sun box. Get it from www.sunfreeware.com
3. Open the Putty ssh command line interface in Windows and run the command listed earlier in the thread.

can i do this from a batch file in window

ie run ksh script on unix from a batch file in windows???

It may sound stupid, but if you want to use ssh to execute it, why not copy the script using scp/rcp to Solaris machine first and execute it with ssh/rsh. What is the script doing? Does it have any thing specific to Windows..

However, you can defintely call scripts located on Unix machine from a batch file on windows using rsh/ssh. You have to have cygwin installed or MKS toolkit. But your actual script has to be on Unix machine

I have to do on different machine some of which i dont have rights to so i will pass out to other people to change password etc through a batch file

it has 2 parts first i do ftp

from a batch files

1) ftp -i -s:c:\vicpurge.txt 10.0.0.27 ( vicpurge is a txt file contain alphnumeric numbers that changes every month

2) part i want to call putty command line from the same batch file and do the following

telnet 10.0.0.27
username
password
cd /raid

ksh
for i in $(cat Vidpurge.txt)
do
rm $i
done
quit


i dont know how the second part will work
