Thread Subject: Example of how to write code to import files from reomote location

Hello,

I need some way for my matlab code to first prompt me to select a host name of a remote Linux machine. After entering hostname and it's associated username and password, I should be able to select files from that Linux machine to be imported to my local windows machine. I do have Putty on my local windows machine which pings and can access file structures of remote linux machine. But, I want this to be implemented in my matlab code. How can I do this? I need some sample example code for this similar task.

I hope someone can point me in a right direction..

thanks,

Nick
