Thanks James, That's some very useful tips, I'll only be using SSH to connect and run bash commands, file transfer isn't a concern at the moment so cfexecute and .bat file seems like the way to go, jeez, I must have been about 13 when I last wrote a .bat file, this will be a rather nostalgic little venture.
Thanks for the tips mate, Rob -----Original Message----- From: James Blaha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 June 2007 13:14 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Telnet/SSH From CF? Hi Rob, I use CFSFTP a lot just for doing file transfers from my Windows CFMX7 server to UNIX, Solaris and Tru64 servers. The only time I use CFEXECUTE now is if I need to run a shell script remotely them I would use CFEXECUTE to call a bat file and SSH into a UNIX box then run the script and get out. Check out: www.ssh.com If you do want to go the CFEXECUTE route here's an example of the code that might be in your bat file. In this example you would need to setup public key authentication for your SSH software, make sure the keys are in the same Windows server account profile that the CF service runs under. "C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell\sftp2.exe" -B "C:\myScripts\SFTP_2_UNIX.bat "put_sftp_file.cmd" Hope this helps. -Jim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:281530 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
