| I am struggling to pick up a file thats on AIX box from a Broker flow running on Windows 2003 server. IF i provide a directory thats on windows the file can be picked up successfully. Not sure if its access related but I can connect to the AIX box on that directory and copy or paste file. what could be the issue? Broker 6.1 by the way... |

How is the AIX directory being exposed to the Windows machine? NFS? Samba? What?
What do the broker logs / user trace have to say?

FTP?
If the answer is "None", then the answer is 'You can't'.
it's like asking how to access files on a thumb drive that's not plugged in - you can't get there from here. |

The OP's reference to cutting and pasting was the key driver to my question. If the file can be cut & paste in WinSCA (or similar) then it can be accessed directly rather than only by ftp.
But how does WMB imitate that access? By answering that question then the OP may see the problem (and hopefully the solution).

It could be a windows-aware X-Windows server install on the windows machine, that provides for cut/paste between the two environments.
That wouldn't imply any kind of meaningful file-system integration that Broker could exploit.
And, OP's reference could simply be cut/paste text from xterm.... and not a meaningful file copy.
But, yes, the operative question here is "what methods does the AIX box expose for accessing it's files remotely". |

The AIX directory is being exposed via SAMBA... |

| Does the broker user have full read/write permissions on the SAMBA share ? Can it create files and folders ? |

Can you perform these actions on the windows server where broker is running ?
i.e.
| Code: |
cd <folder which SAMBA is sharing and where you want to pick file up from>
mkdir test
rmdir test
dir > testfile
del testfile |
|

Ideally you should execute those commands using the account that broker is running under.
