Unix to Windows network drive file transfer

[jchellap]

Hi All,

I want to place some files from MFGPRO (under unix OS Version HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800) to windows network drives.

I have searched it in internet but I could not find it.

Can anyone help me on this please?

Thanks in advance !!

If you want to write directly to the Windows file system you can create a CIFS mount (basically a samba share in reverse) so that a Unix program can write to what looks like a local directory, and is actually a directory on the Windows side. Or if you just want a file transfer from Unix to Windows you could do something more traditional like FTP/SFTP.

I just want to do file transfer only. Can you tell me the syntax please?

For e.g Windows network drive is \\abc\cd\ge\.

I am in unix prompt . How do I use FTP/SFTP here?

Talk to your Windows system adminstrator and have them set up an FTP server and give you account credentials so you can connect and transmit files to a given directory.

I backup MFGPRO into windows server, because my tape drive and the 3rd party software is installed there. Please search use " Microsoft windows services for unix" as keyword.
