Shell Programming and Scripting

Objective
*******
I was trying to develop a script that moves files from one folder to another in Windows drive from a Unix script. I got ftp account created for those windows folders.

I know that for moving a file from Unix server to Windows server we use scp command, but is there a command to delete a file in Windows server via Unix script..

Please help!!

If you are ableto scp from Unix to Windows that suggests that there is an SSH daemon running on the windows system, in which case it may support running remote commands through SSH, e.g.

Code:

ssh windowsserver 'del "c:\temp\somefile"'

But it depends on what kind of SSH daemon your Windows server is running, and what kind of commands it supports (i.e. command prompt commands, or perhaps if it is running Cygwin, unix-like commands).

Incidentcally, you could also use FTP to remove files using the FTP "delete" command.
