FTP file from Unix to Windows

[greyone]

Hi Guys
i'm logged on to my unix machine thru telnet. I have created a korn shell script there and i want to ftp this to my windows directory on my local comp. Is there a way to do this.

Please help

Is there any reason you can't go out to a DOS box and ftp into the unix system and use get instead of put?

GET A DOS BOX
CD TO RELEVANT DIR
AT LOCAL PROMPT TYPE
C:\ftp <machine name>
User (mymachine): username
Password required for username:
Password: username..
CD TO YOUR SCRIPT DIR
LIST DIR TO CONFIRM
Ls
TYPE THE FOLLOWING AT THE FTP PROMPT TO GET SINGLE FILE
TYPE MGET FOR MULTI FILES
ftp>bin (for binary mode)
ftp>hash (prints a hash whilst transferring)
ftp>get scriptname
WHEN TRANSFER IS COMPLETE TYPE BYE TO EXIT
THE FILE(S) ARE NOW ON YOUR LOCAL MACHINE
ftp>bye

What about if I need to ftp the script from Dos to Unix? What kind of command should be used and how to go to the dos directory? Thanks.

 

[sirrom]

Easy, instead of using the &quot;get&quot; command
use the &quot;put&quot; command. To ftp multi files
use mput.
To get to any dir in UNIX or DOS just use the cd command.
I hope this explains things.

To transfer the file from dos to unix follow sirrom's excellent directions but instead of &quot;get scriptname&quot;, enter &quot;put scriptname&quot;.

To get to the dos directory e.g. c:\lweng\files, to get the file from or put the file to, enter:

c:
cd \lweng\files

In ftp> if I am under the directory /u04/ on unix since I typed cd /u04, and I want go back to Dos directory, I typed cd c: and it won't take it. How can I go back to dos directory under ftp> and check which file I have? Thanks.

Try lcd c:
lcd asks ftp to change the 'local' directory, ie the one on the machine you're telnetting from.
