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

A probably more smarter solution is using samba. Samba allows you to share a Linux folder, reading it from the Windows system as if it were a windows shared folder. The advantage is that you can read the files without copying them.

Or you can use NTFS-3G to allow Linux to have almost-native NTFS support. My better solution would be to share the files on a FAT32 partition.

I would just keep Samba if its a networked share, or I rather use NTFS-3G because FAT32 is no longer a valid solution as most files now-a-days are bigger than 2GB. Like HD movies are 1.5GB+. So basically, NTFS-3G is the better way to go until someone writes a ReiserFS or ext3 driver for Windows.

If I were you, I'd just use a flash drive.

QUOTE Many face problem while transfering file from Linux to windows and Vise versa. You need to clarify how Linux and Windows are connected. If you have a dual-boot machine and you're after files from one to the other, do it from the Linux side. Linux can read anything (unencrypted) that Windows can write. It is easiest to keep track of things if you create a separate data partition that is accessible to both operating systems. That reduces the chance that you may accidentally damage something in the Windows operating system. The tips mentioned above are important. FAT32 has major problems with really large files. NTFS is (unfortunately  ) the only way to go with big (>2GB) files in Windows. A recent version of Linux should be able to write NTFS. If not, it will probably give you a warning. If you "must" stay in FAT32, the option on the Windows side is HJ-Split. The corresponding functions on Linux are split and cat, but the command-line invocations involve dd. They are pretty arcane, and dd can do really nasty things if it is fed the wrong parameters. If you decide to stay with FAT32 and split files, you are really better off doing it in Windows.If your Linux and Windows machines are running simultaneously on a network, your best bet is Samba. There is a learning curve, but again, most modern versions of Linux have good defaults built in. With a properly configured Samba, Linux can read and write files on the Windows machine and Windows can read and write files on the Linux machine, depending of course on the permissions both machines have set. In this case there is no concern about correctly writing NTFS files on the Windows machine, because Windows native networking commands are performing the operations. Most of my Linux work is on openSuSE. There, if you know how to interpret and use the /etc/fstab file, then it is an easy step to using the /etc/samba/smbfstab file. It lets you define partitions on the Windows machine so that they are accessible on bootup from the Linux machine, just like any Linux file. The samba files may be elsewhere on other Linuces. |

I use an ext3 reader for reading Ubuntu on Windows, but thats read-only (I think), called IFS. Ubuntu (and most linuxes) can natively read NTFS.
