You can't run a command when you ftp into a machine. That's what telnet is for.

OK Thank you for your reply. But let us say, I have username/password access to th unix machine and I want to run a shell script,(Which is already written) , How do I run that?
Please advise.

The machine you're coming from should have a utility called telnet. Assuming you're on a windows box, start up a DOS prompt / command prompt, then type telnet <servername>. You'll be connected to the unix server and prompted for a username / password.

You may also consider to use remote shell, something like

 rsh

,

 remsh

or

 rcmd

, depending of your OS.

Hope This Help

In fact I did not know about existance of telnet utility. I tried Telnet and logged in. Once I logged iN I typed Shell script name with exten. .sh and it started executing. Previously I was trying through ftp connectivity.
Thanks for you help. All.
