Run windows batch file from unix

[pankaj1]

I want to run a batch file in windows from unix. We can establish a connection to windows server from unix using ftp mode. But through ftp mode, only files can be transferred.
I have a file called file.bat in my desktop. I want to run that batch file thru my shellscript program in unix.
Kindly help me on this.

You would need to get onto the system after the file was transferred - use the Linux Remote Desktop program or something similar to connect and manually execute it, or create a scheduled job in Windows that looks for that file and executes it when found.

I want it to be automated. Can this be done using secured login comand ssh?

what precisely do you want to automate. can you describe the intended workflow?

is sicaries tip not the answer to your problem?

create a scheduled job in Windows that looks for that file and executes it when found.

regarding ssh:

Can this be done using secured login comand ssh?

if you install a ssh server on your windows machine then you can connect to it with ssh and you can execute console programs on the windows machine. it's been a while that i used that, but cygwin sshd worked well for me.

btw, an ssh server should relieve you from needing an ftp server (which, i beliebe, transfers the passwords in plain text, which is a bad thing) since you can use sftp,scp then.
