(I could not post I didn't know why so I need to put the contents via reply, sorry)

Hi all ,

I am a newbie of Unix shell script and I was assigned the work from user that I need to initiate the shell script file proceeding the following tasks;

1) Outbound
It will export the files in this directory from SAP(Unix) at path: xxxxxxxxx1 to windows machine (PC Server) at patch: yyyyyyyyyy1

and

2)Inbound
Fetch the data from PC Server(Windows) at path: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy2 to make it processed in SAP(Unix) at path: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx2

thx for any help

I know, it is "urgent", but please take the time to read our rules. You might notice something regarding the usage of this word.


What do you mean by "patch"? Is this a typo for "path"?

That depends on which file transfer mechanism your system supports: ftp? sftp? scp? rcp? rsync? The list can easily be continued.

I suggest you explain how you would do the task by hand, than it will be easy to explain how this can be put into a script.

I hope this helps.

I mean "path" not "patch" sir !

and sorry because I copied it from the outlook inbox and pasted it into the webboard carelessly, shame on me but the next time I will try to post the topic carefully

and I use sftp for this task.

Thanks for replying

Still not clear what you want to achieve. Are there reasons why you don't just run the sftp manually/interactively for the two files/directories you mentioned? What be the processes you alluded to?
