Trying to get a file located in a PC from Unix not using FTP

[agjourdan]

Is there any way of create a Unix shell that can get a file in a PC where I can't use FTP ?

I mean I'm on the Unix box and need to get a file, but this is located in a networked PC. The tricky part is that this time I can't use FTP.

I appreciate any help. Thanks.

You can use the HTTP protocol on the networked Windows machine to fetch the file if there is nothing blocking port 80.

There's a useful terminal emulation application called Glink which allows you to cat a file on the unix box and capture it as a text file on the PC. Many terminal emulation packages have similar facilities using Kermit or whatever. Not sure if this helps, but it might be worth considering for the future. Good luck.

Are these boxes on the same internal network? If so, have you looked at Samba, NFS?

If they are on networks that are not trusted, try using SSH's SFTP protocol. There are SSH servers for Windoze, and then you can sftp from unix -> win via shellscripts
