Cron job for FTP the files from MFGPRO in Windows and Unix OS

[jchellap]

I am trying to create a cron job to extract the mfgpro data and for ftp the files into network folders.

This has to be done for Unix and Windows mfgpro servers.

I am aware of creating cron jobs for windows and unix server. however, this time I was told to place the files into the network folder instead of remote server and also i need to zip the files before I transmit in both OS.

I am googling it to find the way for zipping the files and transmitting the files into the network folder and could not find any solution so far.

Any experts advice would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance !

Depending on the Linux Distro you will find several examples of how to do so. PAY ATENTION: when you edit crontab never use windows editors because special characters won´t work.
