bhagya2340,

Can you please elaborate your problem. It seems that you want to put a file from windows box to unix box? and execute from there? Am i correct in saying that?

And after executing the file in UNIX what will happen. Others may provide you better solution if you can give us info.

Cheers!

Alright, tell me if I understood you correctly. You want the script to
  1. Connect to the Windows server to start a batch file, which generates some CSV files
  2. Use FTP to move those files to a UNIX box

If this is correct, you need some way to login to the Windows server that doesn't require a graphic environment, eg. telnet, rsh, ssh. AFAIK some versions of Windows already provide a telnet server, Windows Services for Unix provides an rsh server, OpenSSH for Windows is a subset of the Cygwin installation that provides a SSH server for Windows.

Your script would have to do the following:
  1. Remote to the Windows server
  2. Run your batch file
  3. FTP the results
Note that you have to start the batch file before you start the FTP session, as FTP can't run any host commands.

It doesn't matter if you have telnet on your box or not, the Windows server has to provide some means for remote login. Choose one of telnet/rsh/ssh and install the appropriate server on Windows.

Thanks a lot... I know ypu are trying to help me... but no new softwares cannot be installed in my system.
If i can also the code will work on my sytem but when it goes to Production it will not as they dont have the software...so...
Is there an possible way that i can just open a .xls file on windows using FTP of Unix...

Actually i have written a macro in my .xls it runs if the file is just opened... so is there a possible way to just open it so it produces the required .csv file....

No. FTP is file transfer only. To open the .xls file you would have to invoke a command on the Windows server, which isn't possible.
The only alternative I see is to move execution control to the Windows server. Run your batch file there, and when it's done telnet into the unix-box and call the FTP script.
