copy/move file from NT to Linux/Unix box

[giahan]

Hi all,

I get stuck of my project and need help/hints from you all.
I have to collect information from a map, save it as a file, and then zip it on my NT webserver (I use C++ to do that - no problem at this point). Now I have to copy/move that zip file to another machine that has Linux/Unix platform for further use. I have not done anything thru the network before. Any help/hint is appriciated.
Thanks

1. do you have the drive (linux) mounted and mapped to your windows system?

2. Can you decompress .zip files on linux or do you need to zip them as .tar files?

Matt,

1. No. The drive is mounted but not mapped to windows.
2. Yes, I can decompress .zip files on the Linux

If you ever move text files between Unix/Linux and Windows, be aware that a newline/carriage-return combination must be replaced by a carriage return and vice versa.

I think there is a software (OMNI-NFS) which has a trial version available that will mount UNIX based drives to windows. I say think because I am not sure of the "trial version" part. Look into this

This is drifting away from a C++ question but here goes:
either:
- Install SAMBA on the Linux box and do FileCopy() API.
- Use a C++ component to do an FTP transfer
