RE: Windows to Linux File Transfer (Automatically)

I would recommend against FTP as it (at least with all ftp clients I've seen and used) doesn't provide clear feedback in case of problems. At least not by means of return codes etc. you can check on.

I've seen several implementations where the output is parsed to implement some form of checking.

Using rsync would also be recommendation. As stated it allows to use a secure connection, is robust and if conversion from dos2unix is needed simply add it as a step in the cron job.
I haven't tested this but if I remember correctly dos2unix doesn't touch binary files or files which are already in unix format. So it's safe to run on a bunch of files after every run.

Regards

Bram

Hi Humphrey,

The link below did mention about ASCII support by lftp but do
you know if this still stands if we're using sftp or scp protocol?


http://lftp.yar.ru/lftp-man.html
*
*
*mget* [*-c*] [*-d*] [*-a*] [*-E*] [*-O* *base*] *files*

*mput* [*-c*] [*-d*] [*-a*] [*-E*] [*-O* *base*] *files*

-a use ascii mode (binary is the default)
