These examples are great and sort of do what I want.
Since I'm not a great scriptor can one of you please help me out.

This is what I have.

- System A is a Solaris server
- System B is a Windows server
- Both systems have an outbound and an inbound ftp dir
- I need to move the lastest file from SystemA outbound to System B inbound dir and also from System B outbound to System A inbound
- The script will be run out of cron on System A
- Both these servers will have files in both the outbound and inbound dir. The script needs to only transfer any new files

I have been told I must use ftp and not rsync as rsync is not allowed through the firewalls but ftp is.

NAME
rstat(), havedisk() - get performance data from remote kernel SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
returns if host has a disk, if it does not, and -1 if this cannot be determined. The host string is either the official name of the host or an alias for it. See hosts(4) for more information regarding host names. fills in the statstime structure for host, and returns if it was successful. The relevant structures are: struct stats { /* RSTATVERS_ORIG */ int cp_time[4]; /* the time spent in each CPU state */ int dk_xfer[4]; /* total number of disk transfers on each of the disk interfaces */ unsigned v_pgpgin; /* total VM pages paged in */ unsigned v_pgpgout; /* total VM pages paged out */ unsigned v_pswpin; /* total VM pages paged swapped in */ unsigned v_pswpout; /* total VM pages paged swapped out */ unsigned v_intr; /* total interrupts */ int if_ipackets; /* inbound packets on all interfaces */ int if_ierrors; /* inbound errors on all interfaces */ int if_opackets; /* outbound packets on all interfaces */ int if_oerrors; /* outbound errors on all interfaces */ int if_collisions; /* collisions seen on all interfaces */ }; struct statsswtch { /* RSTATVERS_SWTCH */ int cp_time[4]; /* the time spent in each CPU state */ int dk_xfer[4]; /* total number of disk transfers on each of the disk interfaces */ unsigned v_pgpgin; /* total VM pages paged in */ unsigned v_pgpgout; /* total VM pages paged out */ unsigned v_pswpin; /* total VM pages paged swapped in */ unsigned v_pswpout; /* total VM pages paged swapped out */ unsigned v_intr; /* total interrupts */ int if_ipackets; /* inbound packets on all interfaces */ int if_ierrors; /* inbound errors on all interfaces */ int if_opackets; /* outbound packets on all interfaces */ int if_oerrors; /* outbound errors on all interfaces */ int if_collisions; /* collisions seen on all interfaces */ unsigned v_swtch; /* total context switches */ long avenrun[3]; /* average number of running jobs */ struct timeval boottime; /* time of last boot */ }; struct statstime { /* RSTATVERS_TIME */ int cp_time[4]; /* the time spent in each CPU state */ int dk_xfer[4]; /* total number of disk transfers on each of the disk interfaces */ unsigned v_pgpgin; /* total VM pages paged in */ unsigned v_pgpgout; /* total VM pages paged out */ unsigned v_pswpin; /* total VM pages paged swapped in */ unsigned v_pswpout; /* total VM pages paged swapped out */ unsigned v_intr; /* total interrupts */ int if_ipackets; /* inbound packets on all interfaces */ int if_ierrors; /* inbound errors on all interfaces */ int if_opackets; /* outbound packets on all interfaces */ int if_oerrors; /* outbound errors on all interfaces */ int if_collisions; /* collisions seen on all interfaces */ unsigned v_swtch; /* total context switches */ long avenrun[3]; /* average number of running jobs */ struct timeval boottime; /* time of last boot */ struct timeval curtime; /* current system time */ }; RPC Info Program number: XDR routines: int xdr_stats(xdrs, stat) XDR *xdrs; struct stats *stat; int xdr_statsswtch(xdrs, stat) XDR *xdrs; struct statsswtch *stat; int xdr_statstime(xdrs, stat) XDR *xdrs; struct statstime *stat; int xdr_timeval(xdrs, tv) XDR *xdrs; struct timeval *tv; Procs: Takes no arguments, returns long which is true if remote host has a disk.
