[Tfug] question

[Stott, Will]

1) Install WinSCP
2) Create a text file with something similar to this:

Option batch on
Option confirm off
Open user:pass at server.name.com
Option transfer binary
Put "C:\dir\of\file\filename" "/unix/server/dir/location/"
Close exit

3) create a bat file to execute this script

@echo off
Cd /D "C:\Program Files\WinSCP"
Winscp /console /script=script.txt

4) set an at command / schedule to run the bat file

That should do it. Hope this works.

Will

Yes, there are lots of ways. There are two that are more obvious than 
others though.  If you want to push the files from your Windows server 
write a little batch file to ftp it to the destination server and 
scheduled it with the Windows scheduler. If you want to pull it from the 
Unix box, install ftp on your Windows server and then write a small 
script on the Unix box to go fetch it via ftp and schedule it with cron.

Sometimes I wonder.  Were our faith able to stand upright and look around,
would it be looking down at the mustard seed or standing in awe of the
height and breadth of it.
