automatic login with ftp execution problem

professorg · Post by **professorg** » Mon Sep 30, 2002 7:45 am

Has anyone tried to run a UNIX shell script to ftp files from an NT server to a UNIX server? I am using the .netrc file that allows you to pass the login id and password. When I try running the shell script in the batch datastage job, it doesn't connect. Yet, when I run the script, it connects properly and does everything as advertised.

Also, I would deeply appreciate any help on how to set up everything to do an rcp from a NT to Unix box. The AIX documentation is a little bit criptic on what really needs to be done to make it all work.

In either of these cases, I need to send a message as to the successful download or unsuccessful download. I am a data modeler become datastage devveloper. My coding skills are very rusty (about 17 years.)

Thanks,
Robert

Robert,
We found with AIX we needed to make sure that .rhosts file was in $HOME. Our file only contains a plus sign. The permissions should be 644.
Hope this helps.

Any reason you can't use the FTP stage type in DataStage?
It has before-FTP and after-FTP command capability, which is really useful sometimes.
