Copying Files from Unix to windows machine

[IT_2007]

Chakravarthy,

Otherway to copy files from windows is just download putty from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and it is just a binary file. Then go to command line on windows, c:\cd program files\putty, then look for psftp.exe which is basically does same ftp functions.

Thanks,
Srini

Not sure if CIFS would apply here or not, but I have had some success in porting files from a UNIX system to a Windows system by installing the CIFS client on the UNIX system and mounting the Windows system as described in the following URL:

Hi,

I installed Winsshd on windows and able to connect to the machine from unix. Now i need to automate this process. I need to know where should i put the public key in the windows directory and what the permissions should be for the files. Pls guide me with some breif steps for doing this.

I use CIFS mount points on my unix box to mount the Windoze share as a directory on my unix box.

CIFS simply makes a Windows box look like an NFS mount point,

Create a directory on your unix box you what to mount,

Put an entry in your /etc/fstab for the mount point

Make the Share available on the Windoze box

mount the directort.

Then copy files at will to and from the mount point in crontab

I use Fedora FC4 or FC5 as my primary linux boxes to perform the "duty" I use Webmin to manage the File System mounts.
