FTP - Unix to NT

[iceman4000000]

Hi all,

I have a file on an NT system which I want to interrogate (just cat and stuff) and I will be doing this from a shell script on a unix box. I can ftp to the NT box no problem and log in - but the problem is that the ftp root file on the NT system is on the "d" drive and I need to get to the "c" drive... So, this might seem like a really dumb question, but I can't seem to change to the C Drive - any ideas?

When in ftp, use the command lcd and it will change your local directory.

Example:

ftp>lcd C:

but that will attempt to change his directory on the unix system. The FTP daemon on the NT system has to be setup to allow the ftp user to get to that drive:/directory.

Could you not just have the file in a "shared" directory on the NT system and then use samba on the unix system to copy/read it?

Good idea... didn't think of Samba and the drive I want to get to is already shared...

Nice one,
