Yes. But in many cases you don't need to.
Q1:
Can someone give me all the links (& its dependent rpm packages )
to download WINE / crossover for RHES 4.x / 5.x. I have a Redhat
account
It's probably simpler to just go to RPMForge, install their rpmforge-release
RPM and then do "yum install wine". But again, for this purpose I don't
think you need to.
Q2:
How to go about setting up winscp to run on my RHES 4.x / 5.x Linux
box
As far as I'm aware you'd download the WinSCP .exe (not the installer, no
need for that) and double-click it. If you'd installed Wine via RPM above
you'd be prompted to use Wine to open/run it.
Q3:
A sample Shell script to run winscp to copy over a text file in ASCII
mode (yes, this is the ASCII mode equivalent in ftp) via sftp / scp
protocol. Yes, I could have used unix2dos or Perl to convert a file
first before copying it using sftp/scp but due to policy in place, I was
told not to do conversion (which I can't understand why)
This is what I don't understand. Why not just use the OpenSSH SCP/SFTP
stuff which is almost certainly already installed to copy this file over
from wherever? Then all you need is to set up SSH keys and have a script
similar to:
###########
#!/bin/bash
REMOTE_HOST=remote.host
REMOTE_USER=remoteuser
REMOTE_FILEPATH=/path/to/remotefile.txt
LOCAL_FILEPATH=/path/to/localfile.txt
scp $REMOTE_USER@REMOTE_HOST:$REMOTE_FILEPATH $LOCAL_FILEPATH
# Optionally convert the file (uncomment the correct direction below to
# activate)
#dos2unix $LOCAL_FILEPATH
#unix2dos $LOCAL_FILEPATH
###########
So long as the user you run that as has its public SSH key in
"authorized_keys" on $REMOTE_HOST it should do everything you need.
Can you explain why you have to use WinSCP?
