Yes I'm with you,
BEFORE I TYPE THE USER NAME AND THE USER NAME,,, WHICH USERNAME AND PASSWORD DO I PUT THERE ???????

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 02:23 PM

the same username and password you used when you did the ftp localhost thing:

remember: You are logging in to the x.x.x.1 machine, so you need a user and pass from that machine!

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 02:34 PM

Now I get it !!!

Login successfull

What then ?

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 02:36 PM

Now, when you are connected to your server (In this case, your x.x.x.1 machine acts as a server) from your client (where x.x.x.2 acts as a client)

after you have logged in, type ls
see anything familiar?

I see machine's files
My home directory .

Do I use cp
commands regulary?
And where to locate the sharing folder ?
Do I mkdir in anywahere in my system ?

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 02:45 PM

nope... when connected please type "cd"
If you see something like: Current directory: "/"
you should go physically to your machine, and there create a folder in your home directory. Then , still on your machine, copy the files to taht folder.

Then get physically to your other machine and type the following:

Code:

mkdir frommyothermachine
cd frommyothermachine
ftp x.x.x.1
(login)
ls
(see if your just created directory is there?)
cd yourcreateddirectory
ls
(see if you see the files you needed)
bin
mget *
(get all the files)
bye
(log out again)

Now the files are copied to the x.x.x.2 machine, in the directory where you started ftp from (./frommyothermachine).

When I type "cd" it shows this :

(remote- directory)

Is that OK ?

And stop saying that "physically" thing were saying, Please .

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 02:55 PM

O, sorry append a dot .

Code:

cd .

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 02:58 PM

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 02:59 PM

mmmm try 'pwd'

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 03:00 PM

Says:

"/home/anmar"

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 03:02 PM

okay, see if you can browse to the files you need to copy then?
If you found them, you can transfer them to the other machine with the command 'get filename'

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 03:03 PM

Give an example please .

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 03:04 PM

cd /var/wherever_the_files_are
?

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 03:13 PM

Where do I find them after transfering them ?
