FTP question

[bsek]

Hi,

I want to transfer some files from Solaris 8 box to windows pc using a non-interactive mode. How can I do this?

Thanks.

Assuming you have already tested to see if you can ftp from Solaris to the Windows box in interactive mode, see if this works:

HOST=<target_host_name_or_IP>
USER=<username_on_target>
PASS=<password_on_target>
ftp -n $HOST
ascii <or bin>
cd <to where you want to put the files>
put sourcefilename <targetfilename> (if the name has to be different)
put...
put...

Hi Bi,

Thanks for the reply. I created a script and tested it is working well.

#!/bin/sh
ftp -inv <<EOF
open system name or IP address
user username password
cd /I:/xx/xxx
get filename ot mget *
quit
EOF

Oops. I forgot to put the user and password in there. But you figured it out.
