Copy Folders from Sun Solaris to Windows server.

chandu_kalari · #1 (**permalink**) 07-12-2006

Hi,

I have a folder with diff subfolders in my Unix box and now I want to ftp all the floders into my Windows machine. Is there any easy way to do that. When I use the "mget " cmd and try to FTP the files, it throws an error that the sub folder name does not exist.

Can you someone help in copying the folders.

Thanks,
Sarath.

We just map the UNIX drive we want onto the Windows' filesystem and just drag 'n drop the whole folder from the UNIX box to the PC filesystem. It is easier if both systems are on the same LAN, but should work over a WAN too since FTP works...

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

I am new to this File system and stuff but I guess you are thinking that I have to copy the files to Windows server. That is not the case. I need to copy the files to my local system. I am sorry I missed this point initially.

Thanks,
Sarath

At its most basic,
tar the main folder.
ftp the tar file.
untar with winzip.
