We do not have unix command line access so we are struck with users using winptxfr program between Lawson and windows. Some use wsftp but I would like to write a program which invokes unix ftp commands. Does anyone have a readymade program which can I can use?

Thanks

Have you looked at using Samba? It would make it very easy to *securely* share a common Unix directory upload/download directory and have your users be able to map to it.

There is another secure option for working with files on a UNIX server from a Windows desktop, assuming that the server has SSH. You could use WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php).

Could you explain a bit more what you hope to accomplish? Did you want to initiate an FTP transfer from a batch program (and, if so, to where?), or just to be able to work with the output files created by batch programs?
