bhagya2340 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-13-2009

I have a .bat file on windows, which converts a .xls file into .csv file and using a ksh script i would usually FTP this .csv file...

Now i want to trigger this .bat form my ksh script.

can i use rsh command in my FTP to run .bat file on windows and then ftp the generated .csv file...is this possibel..

If so please explain me...

Thanks..

Nope. Windows usually does not provide any remote administration service that isn't graphics based. You could try to install OpenSSH or Telnet on the Windows server to remote in and start the batch file.

You would have to have telnet server running on the windows box and create a script to connect to the windows box and run the script....

Why not just use the windows scheduler.

FTP will not execute a file on the remote server. FTP is for transferring files, not executing.

Yes... this is my FTP

Code:

FTP_FILE_NAME="LTC*.csv"
FTP_DIR_NAME="ProviderReject"
ONE_MORE="SI_Notification_Reports"
PRESENT_DIR=`pwd`
FTP_STATS="${LOG_DIR}/FTP_Provider_Rej.stats"
FTP_ERR="${LOG_DIR}/FTP_Provider_Rej.error"
ftp -nv ${SI_NOTIFICATION_FTP_IP} > ${FTP_STATS} 2> ${FTP_ERR} <<EOF 
user ${SI_NOTIFICATION_FTP_USER} ${SI_NOTIFICATION_FTP_PASSWORD}
cd ${ONE_MORE}
cd ${FTP_DIR_NAME} 
bin
lcd ${DATA_DIR}
pwd
dir
prompt off
mget ${FTP_FILE_NAME}  
mdelete ${FTP_FILE_NAME}
prompt on
dir
EOF

if [[ -f $FTP_ERR ]] && [[ ! -s $FTP_ERR ]]     
then                                            
  rm -f ${FTP_ERR}                              
fi

here i am going to that location where the bat file is so can i put my telnet statment to run .bat file like this

cd ${ONE_MORE}
cd ${FTP_DIR_NAME}

Here telenet statement to run bat file

bin
lcd ${DATA_DIR}
