From where do I run the FTP? I access my Unix Server using telnet... after I log in, I have no clue what else to do.

The file is in my computer, and I need to load it to Unix.

Thanks!

your run it from your 'source' system - the system you access the UnixServer from [with telnet].

First, see if you have an ftp slient available on your 'source' system. vlad

| #include<disclaimer.h> |

Visit

http://www.vandyke.com

and download a copy of AbsoluteFTP.
You then will have a method of transfering files to and from your PC and the Unix server.

Still can't. It gives me a user error.

So, what now?

Thanks,

Ok! Thanks Guys! I did it. But I had to use another folder in the unix server.

Now, I need to delete all the data that is inside a txt file in the Unix Server. I just need the commands. I don't remember any, except ls, ls -l, cd .., etc...

to remove files...
rm filename

A way to remove data from a file...
cp /dev/null > filename.txt

 

[bigmac13]

or to remove data and preserve rights..

cat /dev/null > filename.txt

or simply:
>| file.txt vlad
+----------------------------+
| #include<disclaimer.h> |

It might be more productive for you if you got a good book on unix commands. That would be a lot faster than asking how to do every little thing here.

&quot;Unix in a Nutshell&quot; on O'Reilly press is pretty complete and covers a lot of topics.

Also, there are we sites (i.e.

http://www.geek-girl.com/Unixhelp/

) that can help you.

Hope this helps.
