Windows must be running an FTP Server to enable this. You can use WinRAR or WinZip to unzip the file.

I just want to know the syntax in the Unix side, via ftp or other command, after i perform put & then active a program on the windows ftp server, to unzip the file.

thx again

Hi,
commang gzip (gnu zip) will do a .gz file which is unzippable under windows


/usr/local/bin/gzip --help

Thx too aau

My main problem is to activ a command in the remote ftp windows server , after i put the file in the host, i want to activ a xxx.bat that have inside it PKUNZIP.exe.

I know to activ a proccess at ibm/as400 with the ftp command quote.

The question is who i do that to ftp windows server?

Anyway thx

Barry
 
I don't think it can be done from inside an FTP session.

The quote rcmd is only implemented on AS400 FTP server I believe.

Just an idea or two:
Can't you run ftp client on Windows box - get the file and unzip it from within a ".cmd" script? Or share the dos directory using samba and unzip your file on the unix box?

HTH,
