Ravi,
Thanks a lot for your help. It worked. But I'm also trying some other option. For example storing sourcefile & targetfile name in a file and then reading it. This will help me if i want to add or get some other file names.

ftpfiles.txt
Quote:
JKA.CAD.TUV.ST082008,ABC082008.DAT
JKA.CAD.TUV.ST092008,ABC092008.DAT
JKA.CAD.TUV.ST102008,ABC102008.DAT
I will read the file like this
Code:
while read source_file target_file
        do
        get_files.sh $source_file $target_file
        fi
        done < ftpfiles.txt

Currently with above code in sourcefile variable I'm getting JKA.CAD.TUV.ST082008,ABC082008.DAT. How can I get sourcefile as JKA.CAD.TUV.ST082008 and targetfile as ABC082008.DAT

Please ignore the new reuest. I figured it out.

Just have to set the IFS variable
Code:

OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=,

vfs_catia

VFS_CATIA(8)						    System Administration tools 					      VFS_CATIA(8)

NAME

       vfs_catia - translate illegal characters in Catia filenames

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = catia

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The Catia CAD package commonly creates filenames that use characters that are illegal in CIFS filenames. The vfs_catia VFS module
       implements a character mapping so that these files can be shared with CIFS clients.

       This module is stackable.

       The parameter "catia:mappings" specifies the mapping on a per-character basis, see below.

OPTIONS

       catia:mappings = SERVER_HEX_CHAR:CLIENT_HEX_CHAR
	   SERVER_HEX_CHAR specifies a 0x prefixed hexedecimal character code that, when included in a Samba server-side filename, will be mapped
	   to CLIENT_HEX_CHAR for the CIFS client.

	   The same mapping occurs in the opposite direction. Multiple character mappings are separated by a comma.

EXAMPLES

       Map server-side quotation-marks (") to client-side diaeresis (") on filenames in the [CAD] share:

		   [CAD]
		path = /data/cad
		vfs objects = catia
		catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8

       Perform comprehensive mapping of common Catia filename characters:

		   [CAD]
		path = /data/cad
		vfs objects = catia
		catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8,0x2a:0xa4,0x2f:0xf8,0x3a:0xf7,0x3c:0xab,0x3e:0xbb,0x3f:0xbf,0x5c:0xff,0x7c:0xa6

       Server-side filename to be translated (Note that the path delimiter "/" is not used here):

       aa:a*a?a"a<a>a|a

       Resulting filename, as seen by the client:

       aya-:-axaca"a<<a>>a|a

CAVEATS

       Character mapping must work in BOTH directions (server -> client and client -> server) to get unique and existing file names!

       A NOT working example:

		   [CAD]
		path = /data/cad
		vfs objects = catia
		catia:mappings = 0x3a:0x5f

       Here the colon ":" is mapped to the underscore "_".

       Assuming a server-side filename "a:should_work", which is translated to "a_should_work" for the client.

       BUT the reverse mapping from client "a_should_work" to server will result in "a:should:work" - something like "file not found" will be
       returned.
