Hi All,

I have executed the get_Fx.sh script file in (HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64 3519845154) version.

get_Fx.sh Code:

#!/bin/sh
wget developer.westpac.co.nz/production -O "xml.txt"
awk 'BEGIN{FS="[ <>]"}{if($0 ~ "</rate>") print $6}' xml.txt >> /dev/exchangerates/fromsource/fx.xml

I am getting below error.

get_Fx.sh[2]: wget: not found.
get_Fx.sh[3]: /dev/exchangerates/fromsource/fx.xml: Cannot create the specified file.
\{xyz@abc01:/dev/exchangerates/fromsource}

HI,

I have checked with my Unix Team and it seems they need lot of approvals to install WGET on the unix system. Can I achive the same using FTP script?

You would have to find out if the ftp port is open on the other end, and if there are any firewall restrictions for IP address.
