Getting a file from other servers
Hi,
I need to write a shell script which will do the below operation.

Shell script will be executed in unix server A, it should get a file/directory from unix server B and store it in unix server A. How to do this?

Is that with the same user ID? you can use ftp, rcp, etc.

Yes ... u can just use ftp server name to connect to that server and download whatever u need .... ftp can be used inside the script as well ...

try something like this if u intend to do this from a shell script ...

(
echo "
open servername or ip number
user username passwd
bin
cd \"ur target path here\"
dir ur source path
mget filename
close
"
) | ftp -nv > TempLogFtp.log

If you do not have access to that server (user name and password), then you cannot ftp or copy from it.
