I am new to AIX.

How do I download a file from remote server to my local drive.

I connected to remote server, and had logged into the path where the
file resides,
but when i tried to specify the local drive as lcd d:/test.The ksh
doesnot recognize the command.

How to tell which location in PC the file has to be downloaded.

I asume your are connecting from a M$ client to a remoter ftp server.
So its not a ksh or an AIX problem and thanks for any error message
you supply.

Since the above syntax looks good check if the local directory d:/test
really exist and that you can access it.

A simple test is just open an command prompt on your M$ machine and do
the following:
d:
cd test
ftp RemoteHost

wat hajo said is correct some commands will through you errors.

so better change the local directory before you can issue the ftp
command .

>cd /d/test if it is unix to unix

if ur trying to do it between windows and unix, Filezilla is best
option for non automed transfers.

if u want to transfer it daily write a script to that.

Thanks

Thanks Saam,

I was actually using telnet to connect to the server.I was not aware
that telnet doesnot support download/upload.
I used FTP for the same.

Hajo,

I was connecting to server using telnet which doesnot support
download/upload.

Thanks & regards,
Gai.
