I am working on two seperate servers on Linux and Windows 2000 O/s.
Using a shell script, I want to transfer the files from Windows 2000 server to Linux server (Using ftp).
The script should run from Linux server.
Please guide me.
Thankz in advance
Rakesh

You could take a look at the FTP Client library, made available under the GNU LGPL, if you are determined to use FTP and don't mind writing a java program to do it.
Alternatively you could use the Trivial FTP (tftp) client for linux if you can find a Trivial FTP daemon (tftpd) for your win2k box but be aware that tftp is rarely used any more because it's a bit of an open door.
However, if I was you I would dispense with using ftp. It's basically insecure. See here for an explanation.
I would recommend instead that you research two subjects. Firstly, Secure FTP, and secondly, Host-based Authentication using SSH. Using the latter you can set up trusted hosts, ie, set up a relationship of trust between your Linux server and your Win2K server, and having done that you can use the sftp (Secure FTP) tool to transfer files in your scripts using a variety of command-line options very easily.
HTH.

Ah yes, I forgot, if you set up host-based authentication you could alternatively use the 'scp' (Secure CoPy) tool with the '-B' (batch) option.
