Hi
I need to copy some files to a linux machine, then run a program there, and copy some files back . The copying can be done using SFTP actions (connect, Upload and Download). I am having problems in trying to execute a program remotely (from my Windows machine, when the FB version 6.3.0.1589 is installed). can anyone help ?? Thanks Daphna
You could use ssh in command line. We are doing this with cygwin between XP and Windows Server 2003. Cygwin emulates Unix so I doubt you would get a different result that we got.
To avoid logging password, you can either crypt it, exclude it from log or (what we've done) connect with public/private key.
Tell us if this works for you.
We use Plink (from the maker of putty) for this. Using a single executable is in our situation a lot easier than having to install cygwin.

Thanks, I used Plink and it works fine. Daphna
