Hi,
Transefering files between machines can be either done using FTP or SCP.

OK, You can do it with FTP.

Open Command prompt in Windows,

C:\>ftp
Connected to your_unix_server.
220 your_unix_server FTP server (Version 1.1.214.4(PHNE_30432) Thu Feb 26 10
:46:14 GMT 2004) ready.
User (server): root
331 Password required for root.
Password:
230 User root logged in.
ftp> ascii
ftp> get

Use ftp with put command or do ftp from windows machine to unix and use get command. Use binary mode always.

Hi,

Otherwise you can enable a share filesystem between unix and windows by installing samba on your unix server.If it's only one occasional transfer there is as Senthil said scp and sftp too.

Look at this link for samba on HPUX:

Look at this link if you want a small soft for doing both ssh and sftp with only one connection from windows:

Hope this helps

Debasis,
if you do not want to use ftp, you could :
1. Cut and paste the file via a X term session
2. mailx the file to yourself and save onto the windows box.

Hi Debasis:

Be aware that if you are transferring a *text* file from Unix to Windows with FTP, you want to do an ASCII type transfer. UNIX uses newline characters to delimit lines. Windows uses a carriage-return plus linefeed (newline) combination.

If you use an ASCII transfer (moving either way) the translation will be made automatically for you, which is generally what you want.

For binary data, or no translation, do the FTP transfer in BINARY.

Should you encounter a file on your Unix platform with ^M$ characters at the end, you can strip the carriage-return (^M) with the 'dos2ux' utility. Conversely, there is a 'ux2dos' variation to perform the inverse. See the manpages for 'dos2ux' for more information.

Regards!
