Hi all!
I have a Unix server and an application VB in a client machine (win95). I want to execute a command in the server Unix (or a script) from my application VB.
Is that possible?

Thanks in advance !

There are probably many ways to do what you want. You could use one of the Internet Controls that come with VB 5 or 6 and use FTP or WinSock to communicate with your UNIX machine.
I also read, that there is a DCOM implementation available for some UNIXs. This should allow you to COMmunicate with your UNIX machine using remote automation.
