What do you mean? you will deploy your windows java application into unix platform?

@ the First paragraph of File Class, you can find the pattern equivalent to "\\".

No...the java application is running in windows..but i want it to login to unix just like the way you can create an ftp batch file containing the commands to run.

Then you have to use your own protocol or a library that implements standard protocols. A good library is Apache Commons Net: Net - Apache Commons Net

Supported protocols are:

* FTP
* NNTP
* SMTP
* POP3
* Telnet
* TFTP
* Finger
* Whois
* rexec/rcmd/rlogin
* Time (rdate) and Daytime
* Echo
* Discard
* NTP/SNTP
