Hi Hennes, The files are located in Unix box and I need to copy those files in to a windows box. Windows box is with in the firewall and Linux box out side the firewall. I am planning to create a command line interface that need to connect to the linux box and copy the files in to Windows box.
See if there's a way to install Samba on your flavour of Linux. If there is, you will be able to access 'shared folder' on the Linux machine much like it were a Windows machine.
as Hennes mentioned more info would be helpful.
If you insist on using a command line interface the built in ftp command could do the trick as long as your linux box allows for ftp access.
If you prefer a GUI tool, take a look at WinSCP, same story with your linux box, it has to allow you in. WinSCP also can do FTP.
Hi , I need to create a command line interface that commincate the linux box from the windows box and copy the files from the linux box to the windows box.
If your linux box allows ftp-access you could use the ftp command line tool that comes with Windows. You can also use textfiles to hold your command sequences and run it using those. nsftools.com/tips/MSFTP.htm be aware though that ftp is rather insecure.
