Replying to How To Copy File & Folders From Linux To Windows?.

Hm, then i think my file is corrupted and another copy of that file also.

Your original file is probably not corrupted, simply the wanted modifications have not been made.

No, the ">/tmp/trtmp" redirects the editing "sed" command to the single file named /tmp/trtmp, and the "mv /tmp/trtmp" will probably raise a syntax error, probably something like :

The next days i try to contact my nephews for to clear this. Many thanks for your feedback.

I guess the red marked redirection command here("<$i >/tmp/trtmp && mv /tmp/trtmp") include also the filename for the mv-command?

No, the ">/tmp/trtmp" redirects the editing "sed" command to the single file named /tmp/trtmp, and the "mv /tmp/trtmp" will probably raise a syntax error, probably something like :

Usage: mv [-I] [-i | -f] [-E{force|ignore|warn}] [--] src target
or: mv [-I] [-i | -f] [-E{force|ignore|warn}] [--] src1 ... srcN directory

Hi yordan,

Hi, Dirk,
I would like to know if I am slightly tired today, or if there is a small mistake in your script. I feel something being missing in your "mv" syntax.
I would have said :

mv /tmp/trtmp $i

Else, I would not see how the changes could be permanently written to the concerned text file.

Personaly i am not realy familar with Linux, so i became i little help from my nephews. He send me this example for to remove all CRs in textfiles.
I guess the red marked redirection command here("<$i >/tmp/trtmp && mv /tmp/trtmp") include also the filename for the mv-command?

Dirk

for i in `find -type f`; do tr -d '\r' <$i >/tmp/trtmp && mv /tmp/trtmp

Many face problem while transfering file from Linux to windows and Vise versa.

My solution for this is "winscp405". Winscp is a windows freeware tool used to copy file from & to Linux machine.

To get this tool just google for " winscp405" tool and download this small package and install.

Enjoy working with Linux and windows

I like it to copy files with Winscp from Windows to a different PC that run Linux with a ssh-server.
Additional i use Putty to login and to telecontrol some Linux-PCs.

But there is a little different between text-files that comes from Windows and text-files that comes from Linux.
If we save a text-file with Notepad, then it contains "carriage return"-bytes at the end of every line.
A text-file saved with a Linux editor contains only "linefeed"-bytes.

For to remove "carriage return"-bytes from a text-file on a Linux-PC i use this script:

#!/bin/sh
 for i in `find -type f`; do tr -d '\r' <$i >/tmp/trtmp && mv /tmp/trtmp

Additional i have written a little aplications for to run under DOS/Windows for to remove "carriage return"-bytes from smaller text-files(<64KB).

Dirk

you talking about on same computer or different?

if same, i use a flash drive, or for some of the larger files, ill use my external hard-drive. another method is to use an online backup service to "backup" the file, then download from the other partition. directly mounting and copying files is also available, as linux has support for ntfs partitions without any extra programs. on windows you will have to install another program, something along th

if different, i usually prefer transferring directly, so i transfer files over ftp, sometimes also over online backup services such as dropbox. this is basically the same as the methods used if the operating systems are on the same machine, but without the direct mounting and copying and adding the method of ftp.

good luck with things!

But sometimes when I copy some file or folder from USB to windows drive using ubuntu.Then sometimes I am able to find that file in both operating systems.

By any chance you're working with system files or hidden files. If hidden files are set to not viewable i winodws then not matter which file is that will not be viewable. Also some system files can't be copied or edited so that could be one more reason. As far as i know, this could be the reason for not able to copy or view the files in USB drive.

How to find what files are located on a partitionHow To Copy File & Folders From Linux To Windows?.

Hi,

I needed to clean up some of the files in Linux parition /dev/sda3. When I run du -f it shows that /dev/sda3 is full and its the root(/). How can I find out what other folders and files on this partition?

Thanks in advance,
