DSXchange

Hi,

I need to transfer sequenctial file from unix platform to windows.

Job: sequential file stage -> FTP Stage. Which is right or wrong???

For FTP Stage, what are all the properties i need to set??
Server Name: ????
User:
PWD:
Remote Path:
File Name:
Tell me with example, specifically what will be the values for the above properties?? Is there any other properties need to set??

Thanks for advance replay.

With Regards,
Raj

Those five parameters ought to be straightforward. Read man ftp on your UNIX machine to get some feel for how FTP works.

Server Name: name (or IP address) of the Windows machine - it must be configured to accept inbound FTP on port number 21

User: Windows login ID

PWD: Windows password

Remote Path: Folder (on the Windows machine) where you want to send the file

File Name: Name of file to be transferred

Hi,

Example : Consider u have a file demo.txt to be taken to another server by name :dsfgna and to a location XYZ ...and username/password = meghana/**** for the dsfgna server...the parameters that u have mentioned wuld take the following values -

Server Name: dsfgna
User: meghana
PWD: ****
Remote Path: XYZ
File Name: demo.txt


Hope this might help u out......

thnx,
meghana

Also worth noting that a lot of Windows servers may not be running an FTP Listener. To make sure you CAN do it, at the Unix prompt, type
ftp <servername>
and see if it asks you to log in. If not, speak to the administrator of the Windows box.
