Data Automated FTP to variable directory with error check

Hi,

automated FTP that have error check and each product FTP will used the same userid/password to post(transfer) the file(s) from their <product> directory at UNIX to their <product> folder at Windows.

such senarios as follows:

NOTE:
=======
** Variable **
* The <product> is variable e.g ELA, KLA, GLC, VIN
* <filename> is composed with <Product>_<yyyymmdd>
* both the UNIX and Windows are using the same path name based on the <product>

** Fixed **
* The remote server to be transfer which ip address,
* The UserID and the Password, and
* The UNIX Directory for the failure-to-transfer

1. FTP the varible <filename> (e.g ELA_20060407.dat)
from the UNIX server with designated path (eg. ELA)
to a given Window server (ip address e.g 196.166.100.100)
using the userid/password (e.g producer/pass1234)
and transfer to Windows with the designated path (e.g ELA)

2. ALSO in the event of failure to transfer due to any reason, there should be transfer the local predefined UNIX directory (e.g FTPError) for traced or reference.

* Can I do it in pure C or UNIX Script?
UNIX is Sun OS, Windows is Windows 2000.

I am lost. Please kindly advise. Greatly Appreciated.

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

NAME
ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP SYNOPSIS
ftpconfig [ftpdir] ftpconfig -d ftpdir DESCRIPTION
The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server by specifying the user name ftp or anonymous and the user's email address as password. The anonymous users are logged on to the FTP Server and given access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has its own minimal system files. This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the ftp user account, creating device nodes, copying /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data. The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server. The anonymous file area will be placed under ftpdir. If the ftp user account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded. OPTIONS
-d Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when creating guest FTP user accounts. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: ftpdir The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion 1 Improper usage of the command 2 Command failed ATTRIBUTES
