Hi,

Can any one help me how to transfer the file from unix box to windows box through SFTP.Here the description,

In my case datastage server is located in Unix,after finishing the job i have to store the file in Windows.This should be done by automatically,i.e. whenever the file comes into unix directory it should be moved into windows.

thanks&Regards,
stein.

What does the documentation of the SFTP stage say?
Never worked on that stage but I dont think there will be any major difference from the ftp stage except that the SFTP stage does secure file transfer. Else you can go for the good ol' script.

Who said anything about an SFTP stage?

I'm assuming this will need to be scripted and you'll need the proper RSA keys / authentication in place so it can happen in an automated fashion.

We had the same requirement in the past. We had NFS drives which can be accessed by both unix and window users. A .csv file will be viewed as an excel sheet when we see it through windows user.
So we used this NFS drive to write the files directly from datastage and the windows users will be able to pick these files directly from this location using windows login.
