RE: FTP Problem !

Ravi,
If your business partner is using the same scripts with other partners, how
do they avoid the same problem happening with those partners?

The environment variable idea is pretty much the same as the file idea.
You
may have the authority to manipulate environment variables on the
destination machine.  It would still involve changing all of the scripts.

One thing to consider is that it does neither you nor your business partner
any good to exchange incomplete information.  If this information is worth
something to them, they ought to be willing to work with you and expend
whatever effort is necessary to make the process work properly even if it
is
harder than it looked at first.

You may have the authority to rename and/or copy files on the unix box.
That looks like the first thing to investigate, although it still means
changing all of your scripts--but none on the other side.
