Well, firstly, can you do any of the following:-
Code:
ping -c 3 windows-server
ftp windows-server
sftp windows-server

The ping checks that you can resolve the name and route to the host, and that the host can respond. A problem here suggests network routing needs to be looked at from both ends.

If you get a response from the ftp, it will be a plain-text transfer over the network. The sftp uses encryption so is considered secure. It is better, but more complicated to establish. It will, for very large files, improve the throughput as the data is compressed as part of the encryption process.

If you get a 'refused' type message you are not running the server for ftp/sftp on the windows machine.

If you get no response, then eventually (30-40 seconds) you get a 'timed out' type message then there is a network issue, most probably a firewall rule will be blocking you somewhere.



Have a go with the above and post your results. Feel free to cover over anything you deem sensitive, such as ip addresses, server names, user names etc.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
