Is it possible to copy zipped (my.zip) files from Windows systems to Linux systems and unzip them without any corruption.
I know the command unzip is available, but I want to know if this copying from WIndows to Linux could lead to file corruption.
So I have a script that simply unzips a file with a line:
unzip /path/to/file.zip
which unzips and puts the unzipped directory in the same directory as my script. The issue is, I want the unzipped directory to be in the same directory as the original zipped file.
I googled and found the -d flag which would let me specify what directory to put it in but the script asks the user to define the directory so I don't see how I could use that (because the user specifies the path all the way to the zipped file, not just the directory where the zipped file is)
I have a NTFS drive mounted at /media/bigbrother as my user. I have no trouble reading or writing to files here. I just created a link to /var/www using: ln -s /var/www /media/bigbrother/
The link is there however, I can't even open the folder. How should I go about getting access. So that I'm able to copy files from other systems on the network.
I have to copy and move files over two systems all the time. So when I am on system 1, I simply use the command
Code:
$scp * system2:/some_directory
There are many files in PWD of system1 with different extensions. Of all the files in the PWD on system1, I don't need a file called *residual.dat as it it particularly big and wastes a lot of time copying.How can I make a shortcut so that every time I do scp, it copies everything but the *residual.dat file?
i wanna transfer files from my windows pc to linux server.
suppose i have a file structure like this:
img /
logo.gif
css /
style.css
index.php
i tar.gz the directory, then upload, and then tar-xvzf the uploaded file. but the result is 3 file in root like this:
imglogo.gif
cssstyle.css
index.php
when i use zip instead of tar.gz it breaks the structure. i.e. it unzip some directories as empty files. fr examples it makes an empty file named img.
what's the reliable solution to transfer files between windows and linux?

How can I copy these files across a network(I connect using putty) or how can I copy them onto an external HD so that when I view them on the windows machine they have the right formatting (Windows know to open them with wordpad/notepad) basically that windows knows that they are text?

I cannot install additional software or services on the Windows XP machine. I can install any software on the Linux machine. I've tried scp, but the connection failed and if my understanding is correct it is because scp requires that the target (windows machine) be running an ssh service. Is there a command-line linux utility that can pass Windows domain user and password and then copy a file from the linux machine to a share on the windows machine?
View 1 Replies View RelatedLets say I log in to bash, open a file in vi, then using alt-f2 I open a new terminal. After logging in I navigate to a second file and open that in vi. How can I CnP between these two files?
I found this from [URL]. I'm not familiar with this command shift-8-y-y. I follow the vimtutor and use virtual mode. I tried this sequence and was unsuccessful.
And, I read this about registers. I found a mention of using double_quote-p to 'put' or paste the register, but this does not work in a different file. The second file reported the register empty.
Alternatively, I read in the VIM docs, it is possible to open multiple files under split screens. This may be a course to a solution. The need I often encounter has me navigating in a different bash window to find a file, then wishing to copy between the two. Whereas, I imagine, a split VIM window useful for files in the same directory.
I have a home build computer that has data corruption problems at boot time. I have exhausted all the troubleshooting steps that I know to try. Do you have any additional troubleshooting techniques that I should try?
Symptoms: I run both linux(ubuntu, mint and fedora) and win7 on this machine.Sometimes I have just one installed.Other times both in a dual boot setup. The OS installs just fine.The system runs just fine for a while.Then it fails to boot.At first I can fix the boot problems with grub or bootrec (/RebuildBcd, /FixMbr or /FixBoot) as indicated by the error messages.Eventually the system fails to boot at all and I have to wipe the disk(s) and reinstall the operating system.The linux installs seem to last a bit longer. I typically have linux running for a month before the troubles start, but I have to repave and rebuild within 3 months. The windows installs last at most 2 weeks before troubles develop. The system is turned on for the day or evening then turned off overnight.Once the system has booted all checks that I have run pass. On windows fciv.exe, sfc.exe have never deteced and troubles. On linux tripwire shows everything unchanged. Chkdsk and fsck have never reported errors.
Hardware:ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard. 2x2GB kingston memory from the ASUS QVL for this motherboard.I have used two hard disks in this system.WD caviar black 640G (WDC WD6401AALS-00L3B2).Seagate barracuda 7200.7 (ST3120026A).On some rebuilds I have used just one of the drives, sometimes I have both installed.The DVD burner is a LG 4x (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NS30 ).The power supply was originally an el-cheapo Allied unit that came with the case.That has since been replaced with a Seasonic X650.And that is all that is in this system. I use the onboard video, sound and network. I have never plugged an external device into the system (not even a USB flash drive!).
Trouble shooting so far...I have run the memtest utility from both the ubuntu CD and the windows DVD many times. Even when run for several day neither test utility has ever found a memory error.I have run the seagate and western digital provided test and diagnostic tools on both of the hard disks. I have done this on both the unstable ASUS M3A778-EM system and a very stable gateway system.I have swapped out the HDD cables several times.I have replaced the cables with new cables and with cables pulled from a stable system.Because the corruption happens only at boot time I suspected the power supply was having problems under the extra load of disk spinup.So, I replaced the power supply. No success.
I have run the system with every version of the MB BIOS from the version that it shipped with to the latest and greatest. The BIOS upgrades made no noticeable difference.I have enabled and disabled automatic updates on both win7 and ubuntu linux. That made no noticeable difference.That is it. That is all the troubleshooting ideas I have had.
There are a number of shares on the destination system; for the purposes of this thread I used D$ and F$ (corresponding to those partitions). These shares are mounted permanently via CIFS (entries in fstab) on the source system.Today I copied an ISO image of some 3.5 GB from source (S) to destination (D). md5sum on S gave a different checksum for the source ISO than that calculated by HashCheck Shell Extension for the destination ISO. I know some would argue that I shoud use the same md5sum programm for both images.
To circumvent that I 7zipped the ISO, verified it's integrity and copied that archive from S to D. Verification of the acrchive by the Win version of 7z failed.To see if it's a protocol problem I copied both ISO and archive of ISO to another D this time using sshfs (it's an Ubuntu server). Flawless copies.Then I copied both files to another Win-based server on the same network. Flawless copies.Mystified, I checked the partition's file system integrity (NTFS) where the errors occured. Minor inconsistencies (no errors according to chkdsk). So I copied both files again, once to another partition (D:) of the original D, once to that partition causing the error in the first place (F:).
(D:): archive corrupt, checksum okay
(F:): this time around both okay.
What the hell can I do to nail down the problem?! I don't even know whether it's a problem of the source system or the destination.
Problem is what unzip command, finish before all unzip is done.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am using Backtrack 4 Final, which is a Linux distro that is Ubuntu based. I had a directory that contained around 5 files. I deleted one of the files, which sent it to the trash. I then zipped the directory up (now containing 4 files), using this command:
zip -r directory.zip directory/
When I then unzipped directory.zip, the file I deleted was in there again. I couldn't believe this, so I zipped up the directory again, and the file reappeared again but this time could not be opened because the operating system said it didn't exist or something. I don't remember the exact error, and I cannot make this happen again. why a file that was deleted from a directory would reappear in that directory after it was zipped up?
Will unzipping always append files if the directories already exist? What about tar?
I unzipped an archive the archive had 3 folders and dozens of subfolders within those. app, skin, js
The folder I unzipped it to also already had those 3 folders as well as many child folders etc.
My website is still working so I'm just wondering. Is this safe or is there anything I should worry about. The other option was to manually upload each file manually that is in those 3 folders and the dozens of sub folders.

I have have ubuntu 10.10 at work hooked onto a Windows Server 2003. I have pretty much everything working peachy except I can't copy files onto the network drive. When I start my computer, i have to manually go to network places and navigate around until i find my company share drive and then its mounted for the rest of the day. I can read files from the share drive and oddly enough save documents through programs like gimp and open office, however if i go through nautilus to try and copy a file from my desktop to the company share, it won't let me. It just says "Error while copying 'yourfile'" and the details just say "invalid argument."

If you have the storage space, what else can be the limitation? You should be able to store as much data as you want the way you want (even in a single file) unless you run out of storage space.

The same question goes for the server; would it drastically effect the performance to install 3 server o.s on one server?
