Hi,

I want to execute a commnad line statement at server end (Windows), how may i achieve the same ?

I have tried run.program() but it didn't help me.

inputs appreciated ...

Hi,

Can you please post your code? what did run.prog() return?

You can also check the good old Shell() function (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_starting_and_stopping_programs_shell)

PLease have some more details, i hope this will help you guys to put your comments.

I am generating some documents on server side that I want to move to some another server. Hence, I have wriiten an FTP script and have placed it on server ( if I opt to have FTP script on client system then, I will have to copy it on every client system). I have written a shell script to call this FTP scrpt and it works fine on Unix. For WINdows I have written a .bat file (having FTP commands) but I am not able to execute the same. I am trying "run.program" with "ftp -s:filename".

Have you tried the file.mv.across.hosts() function? (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_directory_file_operations_file_mv_across_hosts) Can you answer the following:

1) Does the *.bat file run ok on Windows when you run it manually?
2) What does run.prog return?
3) Can you please post your code?

- George

The function file.mv.across() won't work because it doesn't accept login and password (correct me if I am wrong). Hence, I will have to use FTP script.
1) *.bat run ok on window when I run it manually
2) run.prog returns "-1"
3) PLease find below the code
ret = run.prog("ftp -s:" & file.path,"","RP_WAIT")

"file.path" variable has the file name with the complete path.

my FTP script is:

open "111.11.11.11"
test
test12
binary
pwd
put "C:\data1\smb_share\readtable.txt" "/temp/test.doc"
bye

You should execute the ftp command through cmd. Here is the working code:
ret = run.prog("cmd.exe","cmd /c ftp -s:" & file.path,RP_WAIT)
I hope it helps,

Thank you George.
It worked.
