There is no way to "exec" a file in ftp.

You will have to use commands like rsh or ssh to run a script on a remote box.

If you want to use ssh to run a remote script, then follow below syntax:-
Code:
ssh username@hostname "absolute path of your script"

Code:
ssh username@hostname "/home/vineeta/extract_ancillary.bat"

Note: Replace highlighted path with the absolute path of your script: extract_ancillary.bat

Again getting error: please help me to find solution

Hi,

I ran the script as per your comment but got the error:
Code:
ssh user@bsbar01s.abc.com"/apps/dev/provimage/scripts/extract_ancillary.bat"
Password:
Error :DEV

The APPMODE dev is not same as what you are running at.

This script is running successfully on the server where it is placed but didn't running to my server.

Please provide me some for the above issue or let me know the another solution.

Please do me reply.

Thanks,
Vineeta

First of all, please use code tags when posting code fragments or data samples in your post. If you are not sure how to do it, please refer this thread

Since I don't know anything about your script, I cannot provide the root cause of this failure, but I suggest you to source your .profile file and give it another try:-
Code:
ssh user@bsbar01s.abc.com". .profile; /apps/dev/provimage/scripts/extract_ancillary.bat"
