If anyone know please help. Thanks alot. #!/bin/ksh PATH=/export/home/ca7prod rm -f *.txt exit=0 Something like this ????

You are close, but it's not a good idea to change PATH without a good reason. Do something like this: #!/bin/ksh # remove all files with a 'txt' extension # in this directory cd /export/home/ca7prod rm -f *.txt exit 0

Thanks alot Mr.nails. That script really work for me. Thanks again....... :) :) :)

This script is work and I really need help how to setup to hide the password in the script. Mr.nails.......please help. #!/bin/sh ftp -in <<END open ps1780-1 user ca5prod workhard (usr=ca5prod, pwd=workhard) cd /staging/Q3/data_source_raw/hospital_billing/S/inpatient mdir testfolder quit !

actually you could just set the correct user permissions to the script. ie , who has the rights to execute and view the script.
