When I am on a Unix system or on a Linux system, I use a configuration file named ".netrc", which stores my most used ftp settings.
Is there an equivalent for ftp under Windows XP ? I tried testing/guessing, I failed, it's not net.rc nor .netrc. It's not horribly necessary, but I would like to know what replaces .netrc on a Windows machine. |

Hello,
I think hosts.equiv in the dir \%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc, is what you are looking for. Got it from: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/i...oc/admin151.htm Don't know if it's true or whatsoever! I just googled for ".netrc on windows" and it was the first thing that came up. bakr_2k5 |

OK, it's almost exact. Unfortunately, netrc is for the server side, not for the client-pc side.
The same paper from boulder seems to say that on windows the netrc info is in the registry : QUOTE Use the Host Information tab of setnet32 to edit the netrc information. Of course, everybody knows how to use the setnet32 tab to edit the netrc information! |

hehe .. Well I don't know it .. I'm a linux user!
You need help with the setnet32? I can hunt google for you! Hope i didn't understand your post wrong .. Kinda tired! bakr_2k5 <edit> setnet32 is from IBM so i think it's better to use MS created software for these purposes? Or edit the register, to keep it a bit clean! </edit> <edit2> Ok i found something about a hosts file, don't know if it's the same but it's worth a shot  http://www.beemerworld.com/tips/xphosts.htm I think it's the equivalent of the netrc in *nux? I don't know it all for sure since i'm not really busy with networking etc. </edit2> This post has been edited by bakr_2k5: Sep 25 2006, 08:21 PM |

QUOTE You need help with the setnet32? I can hunt google for you! Thanks a lot. To be honest, I wanted a little help from a guy who already did that. I'm a Linux user (more precisely a Unix user) and I have no problem with Linux. I was just a little bit angry because the things I am easily doing under Unix, under IBM AIX and under Linux, don't seem possible when I have a Crosoft Windows keyboard. So i just wanted to know if the same kind of things was possible. However, I know the address www.google.com, so I can go there and get theoretical papers, I just wanted to know if a guy here at astahost already faced this kind of issue and solved it. Regards Yordan |
