FTP - remote access
Hi All,

I want to ftp a file from Windows 2000 to Unix. The file is present in a remote server which has been mapped to one of my drives. I am not able to connect to that directory.

I am getting an error saying
?Invalid command
550 //hbxs02/shared No such file or directory.

The directory "//hbxs02/shared" is on a remote windows 2000 server.
I can ftp the file manually but I can do it using a shell script.

The code which I have used is as follows:

rm ftp_log
FTP_SERVER=xy112z
FTP_USERID=yellow
FTP_PASSWD=orange
REMOTE_DIR="//hbxs02/shared"
export REMOTE_DIR
LOGFILE_TMP=/export/home/Scripts/ftp_log
LOG_MSG="Starting the ftp process"
echo $LOG_MSG > $LOGFILE_TMP
/usr/bin/ftp -i -v -n ${FTP_SERVER} <<EOT >> ${LOGFILE_TMP}
user ${FTP_USERID} ${FTP_PASSWD}
pwd > $LOGFILE_TMP
#lcd "${REMOTE_DIR}" > $LOGFILE_TMP
cd $REMOTE_DIR > $LOGFILE_TMP
bye
EOT

Please help in figuring the exact problem. I tried searching the forum but couldn't get any help.

Thanks
Shash

GFTP(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   GFTP(1)

NAME

       gftp - file transfer client for *NIX based machines.

SYNOPSIS

       gftp [options] [[proto://][ user : [pass] @] server [: port ][/ directory ]]

DESCRIPTION

       gFTP  is  a file transfer client for *NIX based machines. It currently has a text interface and a GTK+ 1.2/2.x graphical interface. It cur-
       rently supports the FTP, FTPS (control connection only), HTTP, HTTPS, SSH and FSP protocols.

OPTIONS

       You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically connect to when it starts up.

       --help, -h
	      Display program usage.

       --info Display some information about how gFTP was built. Please send the output of this command when submitting a bug report.

       --version, -v
	      Display the current version of gFTP.

       proto  This specifies the protocol that should be used. It can currently be one of the following options: ftp, ftps, http, https, ssh, fsp,
	      local and bookmark. If omitted, the protocol specified by the default_protocol option will be used.

       user   The username that will be used to log into the remote server. If omitted, your current username will be used for most protocols. For
	      the FTP protocol, the anonymous username will be used.

       pass   The password that will be used to log into the remote server. If omitted, you will be prompted for the password. If  you	are  using
	      the FTP protocol, and the username is anonymous, then your email address will be used as the password.

       server The remote server to connect to.

       port   The  remote port on the server to connect to. If omitted, the default port for the protocol will be used. The port will be looked up
	      in the services(5) file.

       directory
	      The directory to change to once you are connected to the remote server.

FILES

       ~/.gftp/gftprc
	      Per user configuration file. Most of these options can be edited inside gFTP. This file is also commented very well.   ~/.gftp/book-
	      marks
		     Per user bookmarks file.
