Hi.
It seems a question of communications.

/sbin/ping: Permission denied

Probably means you do not have perms to execute the ping command.

About the ftp session, are both machines on the same network?
If not, perhaps you need to enable ftp in your firewall...

U cannot ftp from Unix system to Windows system.

The reason being ftp on Windows is always a client, while ftp on Unix can run in client as well as server mode.

The only way to transfer files between Windows and Unix through ftp is :

Windows ==> Unix .

ftp service

To ftp from UNIX environment to your local machine you need a ftp server running on you PC to service the incoming requests. Once you have that then try this test.
Then try

ftp <IP address of your PC>
Enter username
Enter Password

See if you can successfully open an ftp session. Then you could create a shell script in UNIX to ftp files to your PC.

Even for all this to work you will need your machine switched on and your ftp service up and running at the time the crontab kicks off.
