ftp'ing to unix

[jawon]

I have html files on a Windows pc that I'd like to schedule for ftp'ing to a unix box with a webserver. Is the Task Scheduler what I need. How do I set it up and what's the code I'd need?

We use PUTTY and its companion utility PSCP to transfer files via ssh...avail at

This assumes you have telnet/ssh access to the unix box. Write a simple batch script using the parameters and syntax explained in the putty docs and call that script from the task scheduler.

Sample script webup.bat included below:

pscp -v -p -pw [serverpasword] \\Server2k-a\750_zip\zip\localbak.zip [PuttyProfileName]:/home/backups/local
