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

netrc

netrc(4)							   File Formats 							  netrc(4)

NAME

       netrc - file for ftp remote login data

DESCRIPTION

       The  .netrc  file  contains  data  for  logging in to a remote host over the network for file transfers by ftp(1). This file resides in the
       user's home directory on the machine initiating the file transfer. Its permissions should be set to disallow read access by group and  oth-
       ers (see chmod(1)).

       The following tokens are recognized; they may be separated by SPACE, TAB, or NEWLINE characters:

       machine name    Identify a remote machine name. The auto-login process searches the .netrc file for a machine token that matches the remote
		       machine specified on the ftp command line or as an open command argument. Once a  match	is  made,  the	subsequent  .netrc
		       tokens are processed, stopping when the EOF is reached or another machine token is encountered.

       default	       Same  as  machine name, except that default matches any name. There can be only one default token, and it must be after all
		       machine tokens. The default token is normally used as follows:

		       default login anonymous password user@site

		       Such an entry gives the user automatic anonymous ftp login to machines not specified in .netrc.

       login name      Identify a user on the remote machine. If this token is present, the auto-login process will initiate  a  login	using  the
		       specified name.

       password string Supply  a password.  If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the specified string if the remote server
		       requires a password as part of the login process. Note: if this token is present in the .netrc file,  ftp  will	abort  the
		       auto-login process if the .netrc is readable by anyone besides the user.

       account string  Supply  an  additional  account password. If this token is present, the auto-login process supplies the specified string if
		       the remote server requires an additional account password. If the remote server does  not  require  an  additional  account
		       password, the auto-login process will initiate an ACCT command.

       macdef name     Define  a  macro.  This	token  functions the same as  ftp macdef. A macro is defined with the specified name; its contents
		       begin with the next .netrc line and continue until a null line (consecutive NEWLINE characters) is encountered. If a  macro
		       named init is defined, it is automatically executed as the last step in the auto-login process.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: A Sample .netrc File

       A  .netrc file containing the following line:

       machine ray login demo password mypassword

       allows an autologin to the machine  ray using the login name demo with password mypassword.

FILES

       ~/.netrc
