Copy From Local Windows to Remote UNIX

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

The following figure illustrates the copying of a file from a local Windows system to a remote UNIX 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.

ucmd -cmd " /opt/universal/bin/ucopy -output /tmp/unixoutputfile" 
-host unixhost -encryptedfile unixid.file 
< c:\temp\ntinputfile


The stdin of the ucmd manager on the local host is redirected to the stdout of the remote host and written to /tmp/unixoutputfile. 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.
