Corrupted files from Windows to Unix Sco - Page 2 - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

BAM · #8 08-29-2002

Some applications were programmmed used OmniVox software on a Unix SCo machine. The Omniox software is an audiotext software. Then the files were FTP from the Unix machine to a Windows machine using WS-FTP. Then they were written on a CD which was sent to me.

I hope I've answered your question.
Thanks.

The problem may have been when they were written to the cd. If you first tar the files from the original SCO server and then ftp them, you might be able to burn the cd and then be able to get them off of it on the your SCO system. Then extract the tar file (I would also use compression - either the compress or gzip utility for all of it) and install on your server. Or, ftp them straight from the one SCO to the other without burning to cd.

You should have no problem if your burn your CD in ISO 9660 format and then mount in ISO 9660 format. If you simply burned the files to CD without insuring that the CD was in ISO 9660 , then the files were more-than-likely burned in the native filesystem of the Windows machine. You will have to mount the CD in using that filesystem type:

From one mount() man page:

-t vfstype
The argument following the -t is used to indicate
the file system type. The file system types which
are currently supported are listed in
linux/fs/filesystems.c: adfs, affs, autofs, coda,
coherent, devpts, efs, ext, ext2, hfs, hpfs,
iso9660, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, ntfs, proc,
qnx4, romfs, smbfs, sysv, udf, ufs, umsdos, vfat,
xenix, xiafs. Note that coherent, sysv and xenix
are equivalent and that xenix and coherent will be
removed at some point in the future -- use sysv
instead. Since kernel version 2.1.21 the types ext
and xiafs do not exist anymore.
