Shell script file movement to a Mail Box server using ftp commands

Hi All,

I have a current Process that runs "windows script " for the file movement that needs to changed to a "DataStage Process (Using shell script )"

Source :Text file is getting generated as part of Datastage Jobs processes and resides in a shared drive (Unix server)

Target :ftp hostname "xxx.yyy.com " folder "ABC" is a mailbox location

Current Process :

Currently It is using following windows script to move the file

Code:
open xxx.yyy.com 
user name 
password 
prompt 
put "\\psoft8\output\FILE.TXT"%ABC%FILE 
quit

Can you please help me with FTP command OR syntax used for this file movement.

Thank you

\\psoft8 looks like a samba (SMB) windows file share. In order to open that file on UNIX you have to install samba. So, something is missing. You can ftp from windows to UNIX, no problem.

So instead of showing us a code fragment that is of very little help:

1. Is this from windows to UNIX?
<your answer here>
2. Can it (the ftp part at least) run on Windows or does the script have to live on UNIX?
<another answer please>
3. Can the UNIX box see \\psoft (or whatever its name is on UNIX, maybe /psoft8) now? <yes or no>

@Jim ..Thanks for the reply sorry for the confusion.

[\\psoft8]this is the windows server and Is OBSELTE NOW .. the proposed process is to place the file from unix server to Mail box location ftp server .

Responses :
1. Is this from windows to UNIX?
No ..this is from unix server to mail box location (ftp host)
2. Can it (the ftp part at least) run on Windows or does the script have to live on UNIX?
Script has to be reside on UNIX server ..Script has to be executed from DataStage Execute command Activity stage ..This stage takes the "FTP.sh " and Properties for the script.
3. Can the UNIX box see \\psoft (or whatever its name is on UNIX, maybe /psoft8 ) now? <yes or no>
No ..\\psoft is OBSELTE now

This is basic script I wrote to get the file from that mail box server

Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash 
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
# Name        : FTP.sh                                 
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------# 
HOST= 'xxx.yyy.com' 
user ='aaaa' 
password='bbbb' 

ftp xxx.yyy.com 
user $user $password 
get 00123456789 
quit 
END_SCRIPT 
Exit 0
