@Jim ..Thanks for the reply sorry for the confusion.

[\\psoft8]this is the windows server and Is OBSELTE NOW .. the proposed process is to place the file from unix server to Mail box location ftp server .

Responses :
1. Is this from windows to UNIX?
No ..this is from unix server to mail box location (ftp host)
2. Can it (the ftp part at least) run on Windows or does the script have to live on UNIX?
Script has to be reside on UNIX server ..Script has to be executed from DataStage Execute command Activity stage ..This stage takes the "FTP.sh " and Properties for the script.
3. Can the UNIX box see \\psoft (or whatever its name is on UNIX, maybe /psoft8 ) now? <yes or no>
No ..\\psoft is OBSELTE now

This is basic script I wrote to get the file from that mail box server

Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash 
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
# Name        : FTP.sh                                 
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------# 
HOST= 'xxx.yyy.com' 
user ='aaaa' 
password='bbbb' 

ftp xxx.yyy.com 
user $user $password 
get 00123456789 
quit 
END_SCRIPT 
Exit 0

SIMPLEFTP(1)						    InterNetNews Documentation						      SIMPLEFTP(1)

NAME

       simpleftp - Rudimentary FTP client

SYNOPSIS

       simpleftp url [...]

DESCRIPTION

       simpleftp is a Perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion.	It takes one or more FTP
       URLs on the command line.  The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename
       as on the remote; e.g., <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz> is stored as active.gz in the current directory.

       The script properly understands usernames, passwords and ports specified as follows:

	   ftp://user:password@host:port/path/file

BUGS

       simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities.	It was written
       only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/> or
       <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/> without requiring administrators to install yet another package.	Its shortcomings as a general
       purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that downloaded files by simpleftp override existing files with the
       same name in the local directory.

HISTORY

       Tossed off by David C Lawrence <tale@isc.org> for InterNetNews.	Rewritten to use "Net::FTP" by Julien Elie.
