[gradsusr] file formats: unix versus windows

[Huddleston, John]

Liping

Go on to your windows box, create a user without admin, set an Id/Passwd for it, share the folder (yourShaeName) with your data, and set permissions to allow that new user to have read and write on it.

Go to your Linux box and install smbfs. Under Ubuntu it is 'sudo apt-get install smbfs'

Edit the /etc/fstab file on your Linux box and add a new line
//yourWindowsServerName/YourShareName  /mountDir  cifs   username=Id,password=passwd 0 0

Make the /mountDir directory

Mount /mountDir

The names are not literal here; please change them to whatever you want to name them.

Hi,
Many thanks, especially to those who answered my previous question about plotting multi-figures into one page.
Another question: I have my harddrive formatted in windows (ntsf), but now I want to download the files into my Linux laptop.
Is there any way to convert the files into the format such that the Linux can read?
Liping
