Running Script

Hi,

I am *censored* beginner in MS DOS.
Im currently using command prompt to telnet to this one server by using ftp.
Before, i'm runninng prepared script to download data from this one server.
the script is in .sh file (eg, script.sh)
the problem is, suddenly i got this one message saying "permission denied" when i tried to run the script like usually i did.
can you help me in solving this?
perhaps i can get any command line that i can use to get rid the error message.
Thank you in advanced.

.sh scripts are Linux/Unix aren't they?

@salmon .sh, by defacto, are considered shell scripts BUT they can mean anything.
@OP, you are not making sense. describe your problem clearly. you telnet to the server by using ftp and then you run the script?? show us how you do that.

I am not sure what you mean. The sh extension is commonly used in 'nix systems for Bash (or other shell) scripts. Given the OP's mention of 'script.sh' I think I made a reasonable point.

yup, i telnet the server and make directory. then only i run the script. the command is as below:

telnet xx.xx.xx.xx
cd xx/xx/xx
script.sh

until this point, the error msg saying "permission denied" pop out.

What operating system are you using?

and the script is sumthing like below:

#!/bin/ksh
USER='xxxx'
PASSWD='xxxx'
NOW=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')
YDAY=$(TZ=CST+24 date +%Y%m%d)
mkdir RHSH_ALARM_$NOW
ftp -n xx.xx.xx.xx <<SCRIPT
user $USER $PASSWD
binary
lcd RHSH_ALARM_$NOW
cd xx/xx/xx
prompt
mget $NOW*.csv
bye
SCRIPT

operating system?
window xp?

operating system?
window xp?

Then this is surprising

#!/bin/ksh

i just dun understand..
sorry that i really2 a beginner in this..

1. sh scripts run on Unix systems.
2. Unix is not Windows or MS-DOS.
3. You posted in MS-DOS forum.
4. Probably wrong or expired password. Contact your system administrator.

i see.. thanks so much.. i'll get u back if i'm not able to solve this..

what i mean is, you can practically name your file with any extension you want, it doesn't mean anything. You can name a shell script without .sh and it will still work.
However, in IT world, every one (almost) knows what the extension normally stands for, (hence defacto).

Ok, but script.sh and forward slashes in paths kindof says "not Windows", don't you think? And "#!/bin/ksh" at the top of the script says "Korn shell - UNIX!!!" rather loudly.

my first thought is he is  telnetting to a unix machine. Otherwise, it might be possible that he is running cygwin or something. anyway, OP has to get his gears together and explain clearly one more time what he is doing.

I wondered about cygwin too.

ghostdog, i'm actually being a client for this one server.
what i do is to telnet a server, then from there i go into ftp server to do downloading certain files. in order to go into the ftp server and thus do downloading, i usually run a prepared script saved in ftp client. again, my command line is sumthing like below:

telnet XXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXX [ip address of server]
script.sh

usually, files will appear in the ftp client and i can download it into my pc.
but now, what happened was that i couldnt even run the script as error saying "permission denied" appears.
hopefully u can get what i mean.
