Hi,

I would like to know whether I'll be able to create a program using KOrn shell scripting that can ftp a file from one Unix machine to an NT machine and then it has to run a Java Program in the Windows Environment and in the end,it needs to be ftp -ed back to the Unix machine.

Is this possible?

What would be the exact commands to ftp a file from a unix server to a directory on a Windows NT server?
Also to run the JAVA program in Windows ?

Are there any tools to make it easier in the market?


Any idea or solutions are welcome.

Is it an option to control the process from the NT box?

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response. If there is an option in NT m/c ,is it possible to have this porgram using Shell scripting?

After the end of the first command in the shell program ,the result which is stored in a file has to be ftp -ed to NT from UNIX and then it has to execute a JAVA porgram which works only in Windows and then when its done and also has to succeed .Now the result needs to be send back to the UNIX m/c with another ftp command.

What type of java program only works in Windows?

I'd use the ncftpget and ncftpput programs. Only way to go when scripting ftp. You will need an ftp server on the NT side. IIS comes with one.

You would have to enable telnet into the machine and run it that way.

Probably, but why, if you can do it for free.

Hi,
Thanks.

The Java program has got some objects that can only work in Windows.So I need to run that porgram from Unix Shell program and it has to work in windows env. If its a success ,only then I need to ftp that back again.

So sounds like a posssible mission to be accomplished.

Thanks.

You can apparently get an SSH server for windows that supports SCP etc http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/. With that you should be able to automate the whole operation from a single script (and not have to rely on telnet+FTP, blech).
