script to backup linux server and ftp to windows server

[malaize]

I have a Red Hat el 4 server and I have it set to backup my 3 website directories on a nightly basis via a script that is set as a cron job. I would like to have these backups automatically ftp'd to the Windows 2003 server that is in my office. I do not have IIS and ftp installed on the Windows 2003 server and was wondering if there is some kind of open source ftp service that I can install on the Windows machine instead of going with IIS and ftp?

Also, is there a good tutorial on how to add the ftp info to my current script so it will ftp the backups, then delete the backups on the Linux server?

Thanks,

I believe that FileZilla has a free windows FTP server. You should be able to write a script/command that will FTP the files for you.

search here for a good resource for ftp scripting. I have too little posts to paste the link

Windows has a package called Services For Unix (MS SFU) which provides some standard shells, FTP client/server, Telnet client/server, and NFS server, not all of which you need to use and/or install. I've used the FTP services quite happily in the past. As to the current status of the package I can't tell you, such as is it still available? Check on the Microsoft downloads web site.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm going to try FileZilla. In this situation wouldn't I need the FileZilla Server version installed on my win2003server, since I will have the script on the Red Hat box ftping the backups to the win2003server at night?

Thanks, Eli
