Checking a file on a remote windows server
Hi Everyone!
This is what I need to do...
I am deploying some directories over to a windows server 2000/3 box from my solaris10 box and I need to make sure the directories exist.
The only form of connection I have to work with is SSH
Currently, my script deploys the directories over to the windows box using SCP. After each scp command I want to verify the existing directories on the windows box
I am still new to this and I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this...
when I ssh into the windows box I only have windows commands to work with
Is there another way to do this?
the only way I could think of was to
1) scp the directories
2) scp a batch file which checks for the existance of the directory and output exist or notexist to a txt
3) send the output back to my solaris10 box
4) then use some commands on the solaris box to determine if the txt exist (exit=0) or notexist(exit=1)
I was hoping one of you could enlighten me and throw out some thoughts on how to go about this..
thank you so much
Erin

tk::choosedirectory
chooseDirectory(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation chooseDirectory(3)
NAME
chooseDirectory - pops up a dialog box for the user to select a directory.
SYNOPSIS
$widget->chooseDirectory( ?option value ...? );
DESCRIPTION
The method chooseDirectory is implemented as a perl wrapper on the core tk "command" tk_chooseDirectory, and $widget is passed as the
argument to the hidden -parent option.
The chooseDirectory method pops up a dialog box for the user to select a directory. The following option-value pairs are possible as
command line arguments:
-initialdir dirname
Specifies that the directories in directory should be displayed when the dialog pops up. If this parameter is not specified, then the
directories in the current working directory are displayed. If the parameter specifies a relative path, the return value will convert
the relative path to an absolute path. This option may not always work on the Macintosh. This is not a bug. Rather, the General
Controls control panel on the Mac allows the end user to override the application default directory.
-parent $widget
Makes $widget the logical parent of the dialog. The dialog is displayed on top of its parent window.
-title titleString
Specifies a string to display as the title of the dialog box. If this option is not specified, then a default title will be displayed.
-mustexist boolean
Specifies whether the user may specify non-existant directories. If this parameter is true, then the user may only select directories
that already exist. The default value is false.
CAVEATS
Perl does not have a concept of encoded filesystems yet. This means that operations on filenames like "opendir" and "open" still use byte
semantics. Tk however uses character semantics internally, which means that you can get filenames with the UTF-8 flag set in functions like
"chooseDirectory", "getOpenFile" and similar. It's the user's responsibility to determine the encoding of the underlying filesystem and
convert the result into bytes, e.g.
use Encode;
...
my $dir = $mw->chooseDirectory;
$dir = encode("windows-1252", $dir);
opendir DIR, $dir or die $!;
...

EXAMPLE
my $dir = $mw->chooseDirectory(-initialdir => '~',
-title => 'Choose a directory');
if (!defined $dir) {
warn 'No directory selected';
} else {
warn "Selected $dir";
}
