How to create a Tar of multiple Files in Unix and FTP the tar to Windows.
Hi,

On my Unix Server in my directory, I have 70 files distributed in the following directories (which have several other files too). These files include C Source Files, Shell Script Source Files, Binary Files, Object Files.

a) /usr/users/oracle/bin
b) /usr/users/oracle
c) /home/oracle/local/csource
d) /home/oracle/local/dat


Query 1) I need to create a Tar File with all the 70 files (which are currently
scattered in the above 4 directories), as mentioned above. Also,
after creating the tar file, I need to ftp this tar file from the Remote
Unix Server to my Windows Desktop.
I tried using 'tar -cvf <filename>' but I could not succeed.

Query 2) Also, if you could please let me know, how I could tar all the files
which are in all the above 4 directories and not specific scattered
files(which I actually want).

Request you to please let me know, how I can do all the above.

Thanks a lot in advance.

With Best Regards,
Marconi.

vfs_recycle

VFS_RECYCLE(8)															    VFS_RECYCLE(8)

NAME

       vfs_recycle - Samba VFS recycle bin

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = recycle

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The  vfs_recycle intercepts file deletion requests and moves the affected files to a temporary repository rather than deleting them immedi-
       ately. This gives the same effect as the Recycle Bin on Windows computers.

       The Recycle Bin will not appear in Windows Explorer views of the network file system (share) nor on any mapped drive. Instead, a  directory
       called  .recycle  will be automatically created when the first file is deleted and recycle:repository is not configured. If recycle:reposi-
       tory is configured, the name of the created directory depends on recycle:repository. Users can recover files from the recycle bin.  If  the
       recycle:keeptree option has been specified, deleted files will be found in a path identical with that from which the file was deleted.

       This module is stackable.

OPTIONS

       recycle:repository = PATH
	  Path of the directory where deleted files should be moved.

	  If this option is not set, the default path .recycle is used.

       recycle:directory_mode = MODE
	  Set  MODE  to  the  octal  mode the recycle repository should be created with. The recycle repository will be created when first file is
	  deleted. If recycle:subdir_mode is not set, MODE also applies to subdirectories.

	  If this option is not set, the default mode 0700 is used.

       recycle:subdir_mode = MODE
	  Set MODE to the octal mode with which sub directories of the recycle repository should be created.

	  If this option is not set, subdirectories will be created with the mode from recycle:directory_mode.

       recycle:keeptree = BOOL
	  Specifies whether the directory structure should be preserved or whether the files in a directory that is being deleted should  be  kept
	  separately in the repository.

       recycle:versions = BOOL
	  If  this  option is True, two files with the same name that are deleted will both be kept in the repository. Newer deleted versions of a
	  file will be called "Copy #x of filename".

       recycle:touch = BOOL
	  Specifies whether a file's access date should be updated when the file is moved to the repository.

       recycle:touch_mtime = BOOL
	  Specifies whether a file's last modified date should be updated when the file is moved to the repository.

       recycle:minsize = BYTES
	  Files that are smaller than the number of bytes specified by this parameter will not be put into the repository.

       recycle:maxsize = BYTES
	  Files that are larger than the number of bytes specified by this parameter will not be put into the repository.

       recycle:exclude = LIST
	  List of files that should not be put into the repository when deleted, but deleted in the normal way. Wildcards such as * and ? are sup-
	  ported.

       recycle:exclude_dir = LIST
	  List	of  directories whose files should not be put into the repository when deleted, but deleted in the normal way. Wildcards such as *
	  and ? are supported.

       recycle:noversions = LIST
	  Specifies a list of paths (wildcards such as * and ? are supported) for which no versioning should  be  used.  Only  useful  when  recy-
	  cle:versions is enabled.

EXAMPLES

       Log operations on all shares using the LOCAL1 facility and NOTICE priority:

	       [global]
	    vfs objects = recycle
	    recycle:facility = LOCAL1
	    recycle:priority = NOTICE

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

       The  original  Samba  software  and  related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
