Using WINSCP to troubleshoot Windows and Linux file transfer problems

While Linux operating systems are increasingly popular with businesses. Compared with the Windows operating system, it has the characteristics of free, stable and so on. However, it is still an impossible task to popularize the Linux operating system in the online phase. Because now a lot of software, such as AutoCAD mapping software, can only operate on the operating system of Microsoft. For a long time, the Windows operating system and the Linux operating system must coexist for some time. However, it is regrettable that the Linux operating system and the Windows operating system due to the different file processing mechanism, so that the file sharing between them, will produce a formatted compatibility problem.

The author installs the Oracle database system on the Linux operating system. As shown in the figure above, this is a script file in the Linux operating system Oracle system. Where AddNode is the original format displayed on the Linux operating system. However, copying this file from a shared folder to the Windows operating system becomes the "addnode-backup" format displayed. As you can see from the above figure, the format of the Microsoft operating system is all messed up. That is, multiple lines of content become the same row. This obviously brings a certain amount of misery to the system administrator. Whether it is to read or revise, it is more troublesome. Is there any other good tool that can solve the problem? The answer is certainly yes. There are now a number of compatible tools between the Linux operating system and the Windows operating system to help the system administrator solve the problem of incompatible file formats. The author here will recommend a WINSCP tool. This tool allows you to implement file alignment between two operating systems without worrying about incompatible formats. Because the tool is used to copy files from the Linux operating system to the Windows operating system, it automatically adjusts the format to meet the needs of Windows client computer display.

One, WINSCP tools can provide better security.

The WINSCP tool is implemented based on the SSH protocol, not based on the Telnet protocol. The two protocols are different in security. Telnet protocol in the network transmission process, account name, password, etc. are in clear text transmission. To this end, when using this protocol, it may be the illegal attacker to steal account, password and other valuable information. And the Telnet protocol is not the default protocol used by the Linux operating system. If you want to use the Telnet protocol, you need to be able to use a series of complex configurations on the Linux operating system. The protocol used by the WINSCP tool is the SSH protocol. is the default Telnet protocol used by the Linux operating system. For this purpose, you do not need to make any settings on the Linux operating system when using this tool. This undoubtedly enhances the usefulness of this gadget. Most importantly, the SSH protocol is highly secure because its account password is encrypted during transmission, so there is no need to worry about leaking data.

The security of WINSCP is not only embodied in the security of this Protocol, but also restricted by permissions. As a general rule, the/root directory is inaccessible to ordinary users. Because this directory is exclusive to privileged user root. Now if a user uses WINSCP to access the Linux operating system and wants to replicate the files in the/root directory, the system presents an error message. This access to this user is denied because normal users cannot access this directory.

To this end, the use of this WINSCP tool, it is not only convenient, but also security and guaranteed. This is also the author recommended that you use this tool is an important reason.
