 How to connect UNIX using VB

Hi All,

Does anybody knows how to connect a Unix system from a VB5 (could be
VB6 if only possible with VB6) program, and after connection is done do
some Unix commands ? Example of commands I'll do are : launch a script,
transfert a Unix file to the PC, ...

Of course the commands should be done in background.

Thank you very much for your help, it's really apreciated.

Assuming a TCP/IP environment, using winsock you can connect to the telnet
or rlogin port.  To transfer files, connect to the ftp port.  For
simplicity, look at the free SocketWrench contol from www.catalyst.com.  You
can also buy ready-made solutions from them and several others (like Mabry).

Ever thought about connecting to the UNIX machine using TCP/IP at port 23?
(TelNet) then loggin in and sending commands? That should work; it's the
same way I've written my system administration utilities for my servers...
