Re: How do I login to unix server from windows box and read files from that server and write it to windows box?

Sounds like a job for Net::SSH2 (assuming the nix box makes ssh available). I guess that Net::Telnet (and maybe even Net::FTP) are also candidates - again depending upon what the unix box makes available.

At home, I just use IO::Socket::INET client and server (perl) scripts to transfer/read files between linux and win32 boxes - but that solution assumes access to *both* boxes.

If you like to provide some details regarding how you "do this manually", someone might be able to provide more definitive information.

Cheers,
Rob

This is how I do this manually. 1. From my desktop which is windows bix using putty, I login to linux server with SSH. 2. Then browse to logs folder and with follwoing command "grep -i ERROR abc.log >> /tmp/error.txt" write the log to txt file. 3. Then using winscp i transfer this file back to my desktop. How can I automate this process?	[reply]
