How to read files created on a PC Floppy ?

Can someone please tell me how to read files that were copied on to a PC Floppy drive ?

Transfer small files from my PC to a HP-UX System and i can't access them.

Thanks very much -

Hi,

First make sure that 'pflop' driver is installed in your kernel.

Use 'sam' -> Kernel Configuration -> Drivers

You'll have to reboot your system after the
new kernel is created.

Then you'll be able to access your files through the dos* utilities (doscp, dosls, dosll, dosmkdir....)
Type 'man dosif' for more info.
