And you say from HPUX to Windows it worked ? ( And the windows machine has not changed... yes?...)

Yes, that is correct. It worked fine with HPUX, but not LINUX.

Interesting that I found is that:

If I execute this command (translated on the prompt),
Code:
 print "open 10.99.248.57\n user xxxxxxx xxxxxx\n cd /FTP/Cereplex\nascii \n put $cer_print/vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf" | ftp -i -n

it puts the output file onto the destination folder regardless the warning message (/FTP/Cereplex: The system cannot find the path specified.)
Code:
mv $cer_print/vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2. $cer_print/vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf

Preparing to FTP vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf... (09/19/2013 13:52:48)

print "open 10.99.248.57\n user xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx\n cd /FTP/Cereplex\nascii \n put $cer_print/vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf" | ftp -i -n

/FTP/Cereplex: The system cannot find the path specified.

But if I execute the whole program, then no output is being sent.

The command (translated on the prompt) should be from this segment, so I am suspecting this would be the cause of the issue...
Code:
set sCommand = concat("print ",
cQuote ,
"open ",
theRemoteHost,
"\n user ",
theRemoteUserName,
" ",
theRemotePassword,
"\n cd ",
theRemotePath,
"\nascii \n put $",
theLocalFileName,
" ",
theRemoteFile,
cQuote,
" | ftp -i -n")

call echo(sCommand)

call dcl(sCommand,size(trim(sCommand)),iCmdStatus)

Please advise.

If the script is an executable file, the interpreter must be listed at the top of the file.

If the script is not executable, then how are you executing it? From another script? From cron or some other scheduler? It should be easy to at least determine the name of the interpreter's executable.

Alister

It is running under cron. I don't know what script it is....
After further troubleshooting, I resolved one thing

LNUX doesn't like print
Code:
print "open 10.99.248.57\n user xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx\n cd /FTP/Cereplex\nascii \n put $cer_print/vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf" | ftp -i -n

so, it has to be printf
Code:
printf "open 10.99.248.57\n user xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx\n cd /FTP/Cereplex\nascii \n put $cer_print/vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf vhvhvxxlt09182013_1_2.rtf" | ftp -i -n

But, still I have this error.
/FTP/Cereplex: The system cannot find the path specified.

This is the last error I need to resolve. Any ideas, please?
