Is there a way to execute a script using FTP command between a Windows Server and AIX system? Using QUOTE SITE is limited to FTP internal commands. I'd like to execute a script that parses a file and moves it once the file is FTP'd to its location. Can this be done without having to use AIX cronjob and look for file every 5 min?

You might want to look at the PuTTY family which has, apart from PSFTP (much better than FTP) PLINK which allows you to run Unix commands from Windows boxes. Add public/private key pairs to allow password free logins and you avoid having (a) passwords in clear text in batch files and (b) users on the AIX server with fixed passwords. Both these send the security team into spasms!
