UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

automated FTP that have error check and each product FTP will used the same userid/password to post(transfer) the file(s) from their <product> directory at UNIX to their <product> folder at Windows.

such senarios as follows:

NOTE:
=======
** Variable **
* The <product> is variable e.g ELA, KLA, GLC, VIN
* <filename> is composed with <Product>_<yyyymmdd>
* both the UNIX and Windows are using the same path name based on the <product>

** Fixed **
* The remote server to be transfer which ip address,
* The UserID and the Password, and
* The UNIX Directory for the failure-to-transfer

1. FTP the varible <filename> (e.g ELA_20060407.dat)
from the UNIX server with designated path (eg. ELA)
to a given Window server (ip address e.g 196.166.100.100)
using the userid/password (e.g producer/pass1234)
and transfer to Windows with the designated path (e.g ELA)

2. ALSO in the event of failure to transfer due to any reason, there should be transfer the local predefined UNIX directory (e.g FTPError) for traced or reference.

* Can I do it in pure C or UNIX Script?
UNIX is Sun OS, Windows is Windows 2000.

I am lost. Please kindly advise. Greatly Appreciated.

If you really want multi-vendor guarenteed delivery, you should look at products like Tumbleweed's Valicert . There are others out there, but there are times where using a COTs product is prefereable to full-blown development.

Thanks.

But my boss do not want to spend and only want programming to make it work. Anyway better way to do so.

Really appreciated.

Anyway. I am cracking my head to try and test along.

Did you searcht the FAQ yet? Perderabo has an "automating FTP" thread that will do what you need? IMO.
