FTP from Unix to Windows: Need help!
Hello everyone,

I know nothing about Unix, however, I developed a Windows VB app that takes ascii flat files and generates formatted excel reports in single or batch mode. There are about 200 reports that come off the mainframe from a unix box which I have to manually download into my Windows environment before I can run my app.

This was killing me so I asked the Unix operator if he could dump all the files onto a local sharepoint where my app was pointing to. Initially he suggested that an ftp server be enabled on sharepoint which IT immediately shot down.

Fair enough. But here's my question, is it possible for him to FTP the files directlty to my workstation without me having to install an FTP server just by porting to ip:2i with my pwd/login?

I'm just getting the run around from IT and I would really appreciate it if someone knowledgeable in this matter could advise me.

The most preferable solution would be one that does not involve installing any kind of 3rd parthy software which would take 200 years to happen by the time someone actually made a decision around here.

Thanks a lot!
