Colons in Windows filenames is not a good idea. Will simply not work. Someone already suggested to create a shell script for this. Something like this maybe (not tested, I don't have sftp available): #! /bin/sh cd /sftp/file/ $FILENAME=tstpre-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).np cp "//'TEST1.PR.BAS'" $FILENAME chmod 660 $FILENAME sftp [all sftp options go here] <<ENDOFSFTPCMDS && rm $FILENAME bin cd C:\SFTP mput $FILNAME ENDOFSFTPCMDS Gil or John will kindly correct my UNIX scripting mistakes, I hope -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
