Hi,
I'm an intern at a business that just acquired a company that ran off the unix system. They have files on this workstation that they would like to move to a windows XP pro system, but no one (myself included) has enough unix knowledge to know how to do this. It's my understanding that this can be done with ftp, but I do not know how to do this from both the windows and the unix end.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

If it matters, it is an HP Visualize C160 system.

Your best bet would be to use WINSCP program. Google for it and install it on your windows machine. Then you can log into your unix system via WINSCP and copy files over to your windows box. There are other ways but since you have limited experience with UNIX then WINSCP is a good choice.

How do I go about locating the IP address of the unix system? Also, when I find that IP address and connect to the unix system will I just be able to browse with my windows computer, select the files I want to transfer, and then transfer them?

The freeware from wssh.com is also very nice:

If you just want to transfer files from UNIX to WINDOWS.. you can very well use FTP.. if you are not comfortable with command line FTP... then download WS_FTP and use it for FTP.. it has a good UI..

I am a new user of unix and i want to know about crontab command in unix
