Depot installation problem

[Alex Lavrov.]

Hello,

I copied some depot from DVD to the laptop (windows) and then with ftp to hpux server (11i).

When I tried to swinstall, I got errors that some files are corrupted and it can't unzip them.

Can it be due to fact that I copied it from windows machine? And how can I solve this problem? Going over each file and "dos2unix" it? That's the only DVD drive I have right now.

Did you use ftp in binary mode to trasfer files .

check "i" option in ftp.

thx,

Hmnn...never tried copying from DVD in Windows....

Can you just download them instead from the software depot?

I have done that with MS IE - and ftp (as binary) to my Unix servers - and had no troubles...

Make sure it wasn't corrupted during the download. If possible, download again.
Always use binary mode while transfering the files with ftp.

[Alex Lavrov.]

Yes, ofcourse it was binary FTP and I can try and copy it again, but I doubt that it will help.

I can't download it from web, since it's available only on this DVD I have.

Alex,

I took a look at an Application DVD for 11iv2 - and can't see the depots from Windows - says the "folders" are empty....

Which DVD are you using - and are you sure it is a depot on the DVD?

I think there are file incompatibilities - IE - Windows can not see all of the DVD...

[Alex Lavrov.]

Yep,

I saw this behaivior too ... Probably it's not gonna work and I need to mount this DVD on hpux after all.

Alex, Can you copy them using Samba (CIFS) on HP-UX from Windows ? I think, it should work..

Alex,

Try mounting this on an HPUX machine / local machine. Just this if this works out.

Heloo, why dont u earn ur next 10 pts for the crown :-). hope u are doing fine. Come online some times. TC.

[Alex Lavrov.]

I'll try thr CIFS.

Syam, I don't have DVD on HPUX right now :)

And I'm online :)

May be a problem with your copy style. Check with cksum of all files which you ftp'ed to hpux.

# cksum

hth.

[Arunvijai_4]

one more option, you can use "scp" as well.

I think the problem is not in copying, it's in the way Windows "sees" the files, as Geoff said, so I'm afraid SCP will not be any better than FTP ...

Thanx to all!
