Shell Programming and Scripting

thank you arunkumar: so this script will ftp from unix machine to my c drive?

Nope no luck

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user
ftp -n localhost <<!
quote user user
quote pass mypassword
binary
lcd C:\TEST
put ftptest.txt
quit
!

./tst.sh
ftp: local: C:TEST: No such file or directory

BUT C:\TEST directory exist on my c drive.. i set the permissions and then tried.

./tst.sh
ftp: local: C:TEST: No such file or directory

Hi, can anyone help me pls, i still have no luck

Hi.
I think you should do:
cd C:\TEST
instead of
lcd C:\TEST
Assuming you are running the script on an unix box and the remote is windows.
You could also use $HOME/.netrc
if you do not want to put your usr/pwd in the script. Although I would use ssh with certificates...
Regards.

thx grial, i've changed lcd C:\TEST to cd C:\TEST but still i get
C:TEST: No such file or directory. But C:\TEST does exist on my c drive.

Are you really using this?:
In that case, are you using "localhost" as the destination server? If so, it should be your Windows' IP/name... I mean if you want to ftp from Linux to Windows, you are ftp-ing to yourself (linux)... I think the script is fine...

hi ..

There are several quertions from my side
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user
ftp -n localhost <<!
quote user user
quote pass mypassword
binary
cd C:\TEST
put ftptest.txt
quit
!

here in the script what is localhost.... are you trying to transer file to the local host...I cant get that....UNIX to UNIX

no CD will not work i thind so since lcd "Local CUrrent Directory"...Give the ipaddress in the place of local host amd try it....
chmod 777 ftptest.txt in unix machine....
try with all these and let me know....

Thanks,
Arun.
