How to implement Linux and Windows file interoperability

A Overview

This article describes a way to transfer files between a Linux host and a Windows host. Because sometimes, some files in a Linux host may be used in a Windows environment. For example, in the Linux host grabbed some pictures, want to upload them to the Windows host as a Word document illustrations. Or from the Windows host to the Internet, download some Linux software packages, want to upload to the Linux host installation. In these cases, there is a need for a way to interoperate between the two.

This paper uses FTP to transfer files, the software uses Serv-u. Install serv-u under the Widows host, make it an FTP server, upload and download files via FTP command under Linux host. After testing, can be very good to meet the needs.

Two Experimental environment

Software Environment:

A machine:

Operating system: Windows2000, ip:10.18.34.115.

B Machine:

Operating system: Linux Red Hat 9.0, ip:10.18.34.251.

Three Installation

1. Installation of Serv-u

Perform Setup.exe, and select all default options.

2. General Settings for Serv-u

After the installation is complete, the Configuration Wizard dialog box pops up, where the appropriate information is required to configure the successful FTP server. Here the IP address of a machine is 10.18.34.115. Follow the Setup Wizard as follows:

1 IP address (IP): Enter "10.18.34.115". (This entry is empty if a dynamic or no legal IP address is used).

2 Domain name (domain name): Enter the field name, such as "rosered" (here at random).

3 Install As System server (installed as a system): Select Yes.

4 Allow Anonymous access (accept anonymous logins): Here you can choose according to your own needs, such as "Yes".

5) Anonymous home directory (anonymous home directory): Here you can enter (or select) a master directory for anonymous users to log on to.

6 Lock anonymous users in to their home directory (lock the user in the primary directory you just selected): That is, whether the home directory of the step is set as the user's root directory, and "Yes" is generally selected.

7 Create named account (set up other accounts): here to ask whether the establishment of ordinary login user account, the general election "Yes."

8 Account login name (user login): Ordinary user name, such as input "Yint".

9) Password (password): Set user password. Because the password you entered is displayed in clear text (instead of *), you lose only one time.

Home directory: Enter (or select) the home directory for this user, such as "E:\" (this article will operate on E:\ files).

Lock anonymous users in to their home directory (lock the user in the main directory): Select Yes.

Account Admin Privilege (admin privilege): generally use its default value "No privilege" (Ordinary account number).

13 The final selection of "Finish" (end) to complete the setup.

Set up an FTP server, the server address is "rosered", under which there are two users, an anonymous user "Anonymous", the password is empty; one is the normal user "Yint", whose password is the content entered in the wizard.
