Start the ftp server on your Red Hat box and then use an FTP client like filezilla on your windows box to copy the file. The other option is to properly configure Samba to have access to the directory that the xyz.tar file is located in. You may need to only change the permissions on the xyz.tar file,a nd this will work. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Nevruz Mesut Sahin Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 7:30 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: about tar I wrote comand below to terminal tar -cvvf /disk1/data/xyz.tar /disk1/data/folders it works but created file (xyz.tar) is hidden. when I use find /disk1/data -name xyz.tar system finds it. if I write ls /disk1/data/xyz.tar system writes /disk1/data/xyz.tar it written is red also and if I connect to server from a windows machine by winscp.exe I can't see xyz.tar file under /disk1/data/ path. how can I see it by winscp.exe or if you know another way to copy xyz.tar file to windows machine. if any body knows, please help __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
