To all UNIX/NT Gods out there.....i have a .csv file that needs to be written directly to a NEW .csv file in a UNIX server from and NT server. How do i go about doing it? Do i write a batch file in NT to push the DATA (not the file itself) or do I write a script in UNIX to read from the .csv file in the NT server. If so, how do i do that? Your help is greatly appreaciated.....thanks in advance.

How about using FTP to push or pull the file. Using FTP in ASCII mode will also take care of the cr/lf difference between NT and UNIX.

Hi Don, FTP is a very practical and good solution, but the problem is that I can't FTP into the UNIX server. Incoming FTP is disabled for security purposes and allows only outgoing FTP connections i.e I can transfer files out to other servers but I cant pull any files into the UNIX server.
I can only get one of the unused ports to be opened for writing a bytestream or something of that sort directly into a file into the UNIX server but I don't have the skill set to do that. Any recommendations?
