FTPing a file to LAN

Hello:

I am creating a file on Unix box and want to know how can I setup the DataStage job to FTP the file to LAN.

Looks like FTP stage only supports FTP to a specified server only. Can you please help me with this.

Thanks
Bobby

If you're just moving a file around don't use the FTP stage use command line FTP or SCP. That being said, a LAN is a physical server. You need the IP address of that server and a valid userid with credentials.

Thanks for your reply. Since I need to send the file from Unix to NT location, do I need some kind of FTP listner service running on NT side?

Please advise.

Depends on your security requirements, some places use SFTP instead. Just try it, get the IP and give it a try.

I tried both FTP and SFTP and get the following error: "A remote host refused an attempted connect operation"

Sounds like the FTP ports are locked, you're going to have to talk to your network/NT administrator
