If you are using something like "crypt" to encrypt it, I don't think there is a way in NT... Maybe you can find some third party application that will...

Also, why are you encrypting the file, just to transfer and decrypt? What kind of file is it? There are secure transfer alternatives to protocols like FTP.

Thanks for your response.

My client wants the file tranfer to be secure. Can you suggest me some other alternatives if you know?

But we need to do this from scripts only.

Secure Copy (scp) and Secure ftp (sftp) come to mind. Both are part of the OpenSSH package. <A HREF="http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/">Cygwin</A> should have the proper SSH server binary available that you will need to run. For the client piece (on your Unix box) check www.openssh.org
