Shell Programming and Scripting

as far i know scp is just a command that is run is unix directly if we can use it in the script can you please tell the me the full script i have no knowledge of unix so i am not able to code this at all .

Thanks

They're all just commands.

Some, like text editors, will sensibly demand a terminal to work of course, but it's not a different "kind" of command.

There's no direct translation that I can see. I can't even tell what the filenames are supposed to be in that thing. I've given you complete examples of copying from remote-to-host and host-to-remote, clearly labelled, for you to modify to your own needs. What more can I do?

scp on its own will demand a password. If this is unacceptable, you can set up keys in advance to let the process happen without interaction. Google 'passwordless ssh' to find out all about how.

acutally i dont need any commond to run from command prompt but what my client needs is a a shell script which i am not knowing how to write so help me out with the shell script using sftp to get those files please i would be very thank ful to you .i given almost all the information that i can just provide me the shell script

To use sftp in batch mode, you must first set up password-less authentication.
Then

Code:

sftp -b user@mainframe <<EOF
get file /u/scripts/file
quit
EOF

or
create a file called input.data

Code:

get file /u/script/file
quit

and call "sftp -b user@mainframe input.data
If you cannot set up password-less authentication, you may be able to solve the issue by having an intermediate MS Windows machine running Winscp3 http://winscp.net

so it that file you want me to mention the username and password and then after it gets connected to the mainframe server i should use get and get the file i want form that location to the usix server .
correct me if i am wrong???/

scp runs in shell scripts just as well as sftp, you're confusing the issue. It even uses the same protocol as sftp.

I've given you complete examples of copying from remote-to-host and host-to-remote, clearly labelled, for you to modify to your own needs, which you will need to do because your original script is cryptic and vague, possibly missing context, not something easily translated. If you know what files need to go where, putting in your paths instead of mine is not difficult. If you have any questions more specific than "please do everything for me" I'm listening.

you can use FTP to get file from mainframe
