Hi,

The first step would be to understand which kind of "communication channel" you have between those two servers : http(s), ftp, network shares etc...

Hi saravanangj,

According to your description, I suggest you could conside using SSH.NET to conenct to the UNIX server, then you could run ssh command to get the file or something else.

Install SSH.NET from Nuget:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/SSH.NET/ 

More details about how to run shh command on Unix in asp.net, you could refer to below codes:

Test Code:

using Renci.SshNet;
using System;

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                using (var client = new SshClient("server ip address", "your user name", "your password"))
                {
                    client.Connect();
                    Console.WriteLine("Connected");

                    string result = client.RunCommand("ifconfig -a").Execute();
                    Console.WriteLine(result);

                    client.Disconnect();
                    Console.WriteLine("Disconnected");
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Result:

Best Regards,
