I want to copy a file from the node to the workstation
How do i do this.
thank you.
 
Well I imagine there are 100 different ways to do it....

you could ftp it either as a push or a pull from either side
from CWS ....do a cd to where ever you want it:
ftp f1n1 (maybe login and password)
binary
get /tmp/myfile
bye
============
or telnet to node:
ftp cws (probably login and password)
binary
put /tmp/myfile /tmp/newfile
bye
-------------------
or if you have lots of files....
From the source system, enter:

tar -cvf- <path> | rsh <t_mach> &quot;cd <path> tar -xvf-&quot;
------------
Or if you have an nfs mounted directory from the cws to the node
you could cp it there...

I am sure there are several others...maybe even better ones..........Is the real issue a permission issue? or no .rhosts or something? Any way give them a try...

May be kerberos is the issue here...
I hope it works...
Unix was made by and for smart people.
 
If you're in an SP environment, you could also use 'pcp' which is something like 'dsh' in that it allows you to copy files from the CWS to the remote nodes without having to go to the troubles of logging into each machine one at at time. Been a long time since I used any SP commands, so I'm afraid you'll have to look at the man pages for pcp to see how to invoke it properly.

Hope that helps!
