Remote execute a file via ftp
How can I execute a script on a unix server via ftp from a Windows machine?? Can't use cron/at to schedule the execution and don't want to open up a telnet session just to do it. I want to be able to kick it off after I send the script over on a nightly basis. Reason is script parameter changes nightly and is created on windows side.
Any ideas? Is this even possible?
Thanks.

ct_ftp(3erl) Erlang Module Definition ct_ftp(3erl)
NAME
ct_ftp - FTP client module (based on the FTP support of the INETS application).
DESCRIPTION
FTP client module (based on the FTP support of the INETS application).
DATA TYPES
connection() = handle() | target_name() (see module ct) :
handle() = handle() (see module ct_gen_conn) :
Handle for a specific ftp connection.
EXPORTS
cd(Connection, Dir) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
Dir = string()
Change directory on remote host.
close(Connection) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
Close the FTP connection.
delete(Connection, File) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
File = string()
Delete a file on remote host
get(KeyOrName, RemoteFile, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name() (see module ct)
RemoteFile = string()
LocalFile = string()
Open a ftp connection and fetch a file from the remote host.
RemoteFile and LocalFile must be absolute paths.
The config file must be as for put/3.
See also: put/3 .
ls(Connection, Dir) -> {ok, Listing} | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
Dir = string()
Listing = string()
List the directory Dir.
open(KeyOrName) -> {ok, Handle} | {error, Reason}
Types KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name() (see module ct)
Handle = handle()
Open an FTP connection to the specified node.
You can open one connection for a particular Name and use the same name as reference for all subsequent operations. If you want the
connection to be associated with Handle instead (in case you need to open multiple connections to a host for example), simply use
Key , the configuration variable name, to specify the target. Note that a connection that has no associated target name can only be
closed with the handle value.
put(KeyOrName, LocalFile, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types KeyOrName = Key | Name
Key = atom()
Name = target_name() (see module ct)
LocalFile = string()
RemoteFile = string()
Open a ftp connection and send a file to the remote host.
LocalFile and RemoteFile must be absolute paths.
If the target host is a "special" node, the ftp address must be specified in the config file like this:
{node,[{ftp,IpAddr}]}.
If the target host is something else, e.g. a unix host, the config file must also include the username and password (both strings):
{unix,[{ftp,IpAddr},
{username,Username},
{password,Password}]}.
recv(Connection, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Fetch a file over FTP.
The file will get the same name on the local host.
See also: recv/3 .
recv(Connection, RemoteFile, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
RemoteFile = string()
LocalFile = string()
Fetch a file over FTP.
The file will be named LocalFile on the local host.
send(Connection, LocalFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Send a file over FTP.
The file will get the same name on the remote host.
See also: send/3 .
send(Connection, LocalFile, RemoteFile) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
LocalFile = string()
RemoteFile = string()
Send a file over FTP.
The file will be named RemoteFile on the remote host.
type(Connection, Type) -> ok | {error, Reason}
Types Connection = connection()
Type = ascii | binary
Change file transfer type
