What about telling what OS your desktop runs ?

There are 1001 ftp clients for windows. Search a bit yourself maybe if there is one that can work a list or write a dos batch that will do that.

Hi Zaxxon ,

Through ftp client that can be done easily . But I want a script which will run on the unix server , and will copy files from my desktop running in windows and will paste the file in a directory of that unix server .

Anupam,

If you want to copy files from Desktop (Windows XP), you need FTP server running on your desktop (Windows XP machine). Do you have that?

If you don't have FTP server on Windows machine, you have to write dos batch files using some ftp client & copy to Unix server.

Thank you Nithin for your continuous support .
I have already started to create a windows script which will run on windows and will upload the files to that unix sever .
