How can I access files in ClearCase?

Hi,

I want to access the files in ClearCase on Linux platform by WinSCP.

I tried to use command line "cleartool setview my_viewname", but it doesn't work.

Is there any resolvent?

thanks!

I tried to use command line "cleartool setview my_viewname", but it doesn't work.

Any error message? Or what does not work? What protocol are you using? I guess you would have to switch to SCP to make this work.

Tried with both SFTP and SCP, its not working.Any help pls.

Invoking the clearcase in the script as "call cleartool setview my_viewname", when this line is executed; after opening a new session following error is encountered:
"Host has not answered for more than 15 seconds. Still waiting..."

That's probably because the command start new shell and WinSCP waits for it to complete. What never happens.
You may try following command, which may fool WinSCP to think that the command has finished. But it would work, only if your command does not output anything.
Also you need to use SCP, otherwise the command will have no effect.

I Tried as you suggested. i still get the timeout kind of error.

Can you please expand what you meant by "Also your need to use SCP"?

echo "WinSCP: this is end-of-file:0"; call cleartool setview my_viewname

You need to use the SCP protocol, not the SFTP.

Though it won't help you the timeout. Post a log file.
