I am quite proficient in VBA for Excel and Access, but I need to learn some UNIX for some automated scripts which we need to run from our Servers. A lot of it is programming to transfer files to/from our location via FTP and using PGP encryption.

Can anyone recommend a good introduction book/tutorial to UNIX?

Thanks.

Who is Mr Spreadsheet?
Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
Unfortunately I don't have the ISBN, but you might try Unix for Dummies. I do have the Quick Reference Guide, ISBN 0-7645-0420-7.

Hope that gets you started!
