Hi Guys,

I search for the subject on the net, and found hundreds of links how to copy form linux to windows, but none of them work with me, maybe cause i am new in linux.

i am trying to copy some files from backtrack installed on virtual machine to window 7.
the steps which i did:
1- right click on computer icon to get the name of my computer, name = T1
2- create a new folder called shares, right click on it then go to share and change it to everyone.
3 - Open up file explorer (Konqueror) and in the address bar,
i typed smb://T1/share
after that pop up login appears and ask username and password for server: T1.
First i have no password for my account T1 on window 7, i tried to enter by leaving the password empty,but pop up login again appear and ask username and password.
I tried to change he password of username T1 in window 7, so i will have a password to enter, but same thing.

What password i must enter?

I tried another way, by typing
smbclient -L T1
root@bt:~# smbclient -L T1
Enter root's password:
didnt work too

Best regards

type 'ifconfig' in your linux VM to get its IP address.

then from Windows download and run "WinSCP" and use that IP address to connect to it.

Navigate to wherever the files are that you would like to copy, drag them to your desktop or wherever you would like to put them.

Dunno if this works on a virtual machine but it works on dual boot...

On Linux system, mount windows disk/partition then drag and drop file from Linux system to wherever you want on mounted Windows disk/partition.
Reboot to Windows to find file where you left it. Tah Dah!

Sounds too simple, maybe I'm not getting it...

Play Bonny!

*** Note to self... Mounting an already mounted Windows partition on a Virtual Machine??? Don't think so, you could create a black hole and destroy the Universe!

Doh! I warned you! I ended up with a duplicate message from a parallel Universe!

Thx a lot szboardstretcher, it work fine

Didnt quite understand as i am newbie in linux
i already solved it by using szboardstretcher comments, thx for him.

But i really like to learn how to mount the share folder on system by trying to mount the shared folder on window 7 to linux (on virtual machine)
i tried mount //winhost/share1 /mnt/smb.

Can anyone explain please what he is doing on his system how he is copying files from window 7 to a virtual machine by using mount function.

Thx guys for your help

Hi all,
Sorry for re-opening this thread again.

In order to copy from linux to windows 7, i used as previous posts WinSCP and it work very fine.

but when i try to connect to a public network, i couldnt login in to WinSCP (connection error).

Is there another way, to mount the C drive or external hard disk to backtrack?

thanks in advance.
Regards

You can share the drive in samba/cifs and mount it via \\ipaddresofw7\sharename if your firewalls are open.

Personally I'd suggest you use a distro supported with tools. In tools you can simply cut and paste between the two. Dunno if BT supports vm tools or guest additions.
