Move files from Linux to Windows
« on: November 10, 2009, 09:39:29 PM »
I have a web server that is running Linux and it hosts a website where people can upload files for a game server which is running Windows XP well atleast ideally it would do this. I did host them both on the same server at one point and time and it was easy to move these documents from one location to the next. How would I do this on a windows(XP) machine from a linux machine(Ubuntu)?

Thanks for the help.

You could set up a samba share or do it using a protocol like FTP.
Why doesn't anyone ever say hi, hey, or whad up world?

I think this sounds like the right solution for your requirement -- will make the files transparently available on the XP machine.  Performance should not be an issue, as this looks and feels just like any fileserver mount.

I went with sshfs.  Works great.
