Copy Encrypted File from Remote Windows to Local UNIX

Copy Encrypted File from Remote Windows to Local UNIX via Universal Command Manager for UNIX​

The following figure illustrates the copying of a file from a remote Windows system to a local UNIX server.

If it is coded in a script, then the UNIX continuation character of ** must be used.

ucmd -cmd 'ucopy ntinputfile' -host nthost -encryptedfile
ntid.file > /tmp/unixoutputfile

The stdout of the ucopy command on the remote host is redirected back to the local host and written to /tmp/unixoutputfile. The command ucopy is installed as part of Universal Command Server on the remote system.

The file is copied as a text file, since the default transfer mode for standard files is text.
