Title: Scripting UCopy
Post by: norsoft on January 09, 2006, 05:02:59 pm

We have a client that has SCO Unix and we are looking for a way to copy a file from the Unix box to a PC by using your ICE-TEN program and a script file.  (Having the ICE-TEN program read a script file).

Does UCopy in ICE-TEN read binary files?

Thanks

Ucopywin in Ice.Ten reads and writes binary and/or text files. It does NOT do scripting but can multiple files at a time (it has an interface similar to windows explorer).

Ice.Ten includes a server side piece that must be installed on the Unix machine to  allow file transfers. The distribution ships with various intel unix and linux versions of ucopy. For non-intel based unix hosts (like aix or solaris) you need a seperate unix "host module".

So what would it take to instal Ice.Ten on a SCO unix box.  Is it a pretty complex installation or just placing a file on the box?  We have not dealt with SCO unix so we are unfamilliar with the installation of software.

You just put one file (ucopy) into /usr/bin and set the permissions on the file.

I found out that the client actually has the software but the version of ucopy is 5.37B.  The back of the box states that it is suppored by Windows 95 and the upgrade disks support Windows 98/Windows 2000.  Has anything changed on the UNIX Ucopy where this would not work on the SCO Unix box?

The Unix side is new enough. Since you didn't give a version it's hard to know what the PC version is.

If you put the ucopy binary into /usr/bin and
chmod 755 /usr/bin/ucopy
it you should be able to test it by simpy typing
ucopy -h
at a prompt. You should get a help message back.
