[gradsusr] file formats: unix versus windows

[Liping Liu]

John, 

Many thanks. I am sorry that I didn't state my problem clearly. 

I ran the WRF on a server (Linux), then I downloaded the data files (for GrADs) onto my external hard drive through the network by using windows ftp. Then I deleted those data files on the server.  
Now I want to upload the data files onto my own laptop (Linux) to do GRADS analysis. But my external hard drive was formatted in ntfs. When I hook the external hard drive into my laptop through the USB slot, I can see the icon "Passport ... " of the external hard drive. But when I click on the hard drive icon, it pops up an error message window saying "the files are in ntfs... cannot be mounted..." . 

If there is no way to upload those ntfs files from the external hard drive to my Linux laptop, please also kindly let me know.

You do not need a dual system. These instructions are for two
separate computers on the same network.

 

You basically mount a ntfs drive from a windows system on your
Linux system.

 

Have one of your IT Admin folks look at my instructions and help
you.

John,



Many thanks! But I don't think my laptop has the dual system, it's only Red Hat
Linux.

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?
