Error SFTP from windows E:/ to unix server

Hello All Smilie,

I am making a script in the ksh to Secure FTP a set of files from the E:/ drive in windows a computer to a unix server.

Had it been in the unix directory, I could have used the expect utility to use the non-interactive mode for sftp,

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/expect
#!/bin/ksh

spawn sftp -b user@11.11.11
expect "password:"
send "password"

cd /export/home/direc1
lcd /home/direc2

ascii

get new1
quit

or used public key encryption.

But, the file is in the windows directory. How do I get that file?

Do you have an sshd or sftp server on the Windows machine?

of course it has. It actually is a unix server machine on which the windows is also installed.

Do we need a separate sftp installation on the windows OS?

How were we supposed to know that if you did not tell us. You post suggested it was a windows machine.

What environment is this "Windows OS" running in?

How are the file systems mapped between Windows and UNIX?

We know very little about your environment unless you tell us.

I am not very sure of how the system is mapped. In fact, it is very possible that there is no unix installation in it. It could be a Windows only server.
The login credentials I have, have been configured for ftp connectivity.

So?

I can still help you with some more info..

Code:
/export/home/pranav> ftp -inv
ftp> open hostname
Connected to hostname.
ftp> user username P@ssword
331 Password required
230 user logged in
ftp> pwd
257 "/" is current directory

This is what i was able to do with the connection.

I don't understand the output of 'ls'. If anybody can throw some light on where is this '/' that i get with 'pwd'.

Any ideas will be appreciated.
thanx

Edit: I confirm here that there is no unix installation on the remote server.

Logon onto the Windows box and either

(a) do a file search for some of the name files given in the listing.

(b) go to the control panel and find the panel that configures the ftp server.

and also you are using "ftp", not "sftp" as you mentioned in your original post.
