Copy from Remote UNIX to Local Windows

Copy from Remote UNIX to Local Windows via Universal Command Manager for Windows

The following figure illustrates the copying of a file from a remote UNIX system to a local Windows system. Although the command is shown on two lines, it should be entered on one line at the command prompt. If it is coded in a script, the Windows continuation character of ¬ must be used.


The standard out of the ucopy command on the remote host is redirected back to the local host and written to c:\temp\ntoutput.file. The command ucopy is installed as part of Universal Command Server on the remote system.

The file is copied as a text file, since the default transfer mode for standard files is text.
