Shell Programming and Scripting

I need to write a shell script to transfer files from Unix server to windows machine. This script will be scheduled on scheduler to run at specified intervals

#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n alaska <<End-Of-Session
user sss01 sample
cd /home/sss01
lcd D:/sample
mget *.txt
bye

when I executed the above shell script. It throws error saying file location D:/sample not found.
Can somebody please help me in writing the script?

You code should contain the terminating here-document End-Of-Session

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n alaska <<End-Of-Session
user sss01 sample
cd /home/sss01
lcd D:/sample
mget *.txt
bye
End-Of-Session

Hi Vino,

Thanks for you reply!
I added the EOF statement at the end. Now the session the coming out of ftp. but the error 'D:/Nagaraj: No such file or directory' still exists
can you please help..

Hmmm... Drop the ':' to make it D/Nagaraj

It's complaining about the "lcd" command, telling the local system (that's running the FTP script) to change directory (as opposed to changing the directory on the FTP server.)

That looks like a Windows path to me (D:\sample). But your script is calling /bin/ksh. Are you on a Windows box, a Unix box, or a Windows box with SFU or Cygwin installed?

I created also script to transfer file from UNIX to WIn.but I had to set up ftp directory in windows(IIS) so I can just put my files in that directory..

I would also love to see is it possible to use lcd command so I could change windows directory in my unix script???

It that possible??

Help
