Copy files from Unix to NT

[Vinesh Dhevcharran_1]

Hi,

I want to copy files from Unix to NT. I am running ssh on 2 hp machines and I can scp files between these machines. Can I scp files from Unix to NT? I do not want to use ftp!

I have done some searching and I have downloaded WINSCP & Putty, but I am not quite sure if this will work and if so how? I do not know much about windows/nt

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
to get the scp work from unix to window you have to install the openssl server on window.

putty and winscp are (excellent, i use them too) clients.

Take a search with google.

To my knowledge the only freely available SSH server is the OpenSSH server run under Cygwin.dll
The others mentioned only work as clients, but you need an sshd listening on your NT box.
Look here
http://www.cygwin.com/
and download, and install Cygwin on your NT box.
Make sure the OpenSSH package is included.
You can pre-select packets you require.
Then you need to set up Privilege Separation on your NT-Cygwin Installation, if you start the sshd in the default setting.
To aid you in this Cygwin comes with a ssh-host-config executable that sets up the chroot directory and adds a sshd account in /etc/passwd.
The program can be run interactively if started without options from the Cygwin Bash.
There it will also ask you if it should run sshd as a Windows Service.
For details read
/usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh*README
and
the files in
/usr/doc/openssh/

Hi,
another alternative is:

which should be smaller.

sorry for being late...

This script works if you have NutCracker installed (comes with MKS toolkit)

I think SAMBA is also a solution, it's comes with HPUX11.11 and you can configure to share your UNIX directory and map from NT.

I would recommend samba as i use it on all my unix servers so that developers can copy files to and from nt and the security is quit good you can set it up so that the user is authenicated through nt so encryption can be easily used.
also you can setup fairly sever logging so that you can keep track of all users activities.
