SCO 5.0.7: Need to take file backups on a USB (How To..)

[Kursat]

Hi, i am writing an office automation software to a company. This company uses SCO Open Server 5.0.7 as server OS. They are currently using a software which stores information in txt files. There is more than 60,000 txt files in a lot of folders. I want to copy all these files to the USB Flash disk i have. Because i want to/need to import all the data stored inside them into my database.
I tried to use Live CDs of different linux OS' (i.e. Knoppix, Ubuntu etc.) to make things easier. But they don't see hard disk partitions of SCO. When i boot from Live CDs then dont see hard drive at all...

I need urgent help with this problem, my graduation is on the line! Thanks, in advance.

You may consider SAMBA on the SCO box.

Hope This Helps, PH.
