hi,
dear Shoux,
scrips are not a problem, the one is who is the server and
who is the client.

The Server offres a sevices (without interface): let me say
is the passive part of transaction (it executes commands, but on client demand)

The client is the interactive part of tr. and scripts may be useful to make automatic this task.

FTP is a typical Client-Server application and between Win and Unix, this acts as server and Win as client. Using, on PC, system ftp client (character edition) (ftp from command line), you can write scripts ( enter ftp -? ), or
using 3rd part program, you can use macro.

If you want write scripts on AIX, you must respect above rule: AIX will become client, Windows will be server.

If you want continue use FTP, Install on windows IIS + Ftp server and use ftp scripts on AIX.
To avoid install IIS on Win, (may be a W9x machine), you can use SAMBA on AIX . SAMBA is typically a SERVER: Unix machine share some their folders in SMB (Windws file protocol), and PC will see them as they were on a PC.

There is also a little part in SAMBA, called SambaClient
(smbclient maby the command) that you can use as client from Unix, toward WIN server.

If this explanation is almost clear for you, continue in this thread to obtain pratical informations about the way you intend follow.

You can do this via a batch file from windows. To automatically do this you would create an "AT" job to run the file.

For example:

ftp myaixhost
user username
password
lcd /mydumpdirectory
cd /aixfolder
bin
get aixfile
cd /anotheraixfolder
get aixfile
