Unix files can be easily transferred to windows via a network connection either by using FTP or by using Samba. Samba allows a Unix file system to be mounted/shared on a Windows system to look like a windows directory.

Transferring Files From Windows To UNIX Server?

Many companies are switching to a different platform because of the many issues they have with Windows. UNIX is one of the most popular choices, but often requires that employees be trained. This system is difficult for some to learn. One of the most common solutions is to purchase training for the employees, but this may be very costly. Having two platforms is another choice; if central files must be extracted and sent to another machine, this system may be beneficial to the company and employees. Employees may receive the files they need for their Windows-based machines by transferring the files from the UNIX-based server to a central Windows-based server. This article will explain how to move files from a UNIX server to a Windows server. The transfer process is simple, but may take some time. It is important to be sure not to delete any files until they transfer. First, the client for network file system, or client for nfs, should be installed, which will permit the Windows computers to access files on the UNIX machine. Activate the UNIX server and log onto it using root permissions. After logging in, initiate the command man exportfs. To do this, type Exportfs-v full_folder_path. Entering this command will make it possible to transfer files from the UNIX server to the Windows computers. Start the Windows server and log on. After successful login, access the start menu. Select Windows Explorer and open it. When it has opened, there will be an option to access Entire Network, then NFS Network and LAN, which is the default. From this point, the UNIX server should be selected for file extraction. To do this, open the server and find the files to be moved to the Windows server and select them. Copy the UNIX folders and select an existing folder in the Windows server to use as a destination. If creating a new file, label it clearly and sensibly. It will be useful in finding the file, should difficulties arise. Paste the copied information into the Windows folder. This process may require several minutes, depending on the size of the files, the amount and the computer speeds.

The tar format for retrieving drivers is used in what windows 2000 windows xp unix netware?

tar extension can more or less be compared to zip: a tarball (this is the name of a "tar extension'ed file") is used to group file (and eventually folders of files). Although tarballs are mostly used in Unix flavors, programs such as WinRar for Windows can extract files from them. In short, such drivers may work for both Windows and/or Unix flavors.

What transfer mode is useful when transferring text files to windows computers?

Assuming you are talking FTP - it depends on wht kind of computer is the source computer. If it is a windows computer, then it does not matter if the transfer mode is text or binary. If, however, the source computer is unix, or a MainFrame computer that uses EBCDIC encoding, you must use text mode. The reason for this is that, for transfer between two dissimilar computers, you need to consider 1.) character encoding such as EBCDIC to USASCII, and 2.) line terminator conversion such as "\a" in unix to "\a\n" in windows.
