Dear all


I want to net send two linux computer? How can I do?
And when I net send from Window to linux? How can I install what software or using what command?

please help me?
Thanks in advance!!!

By saying net send, do you want to transfer a file from one linux computer to another, across the network ... Also, do you want to transfer a file from one computer running Windows, to/from a computer running Linux

Either way, I would recommend using the ftp command (file transfer protocol). The command is found on Windows, and on Linux, but the syntax is different for each system. A batch script to do this in windows would be the following

Windows --

echo "open MACHINENAME" > ftpscriptfile.txt
echo "user USERNAME PASSWORD" >> ftpscriptfile.txt
echo "ascii" >> ftpscriptfile.txt rem This will translate a text file (continued)
rem between Linux and windows
rem You could also substitute "binary"
rem instead of ascii for an executable
rem or archive file.
echo "get FILENAME" >> ftpscriptfile.txt rem or use "put FILENAME"
echo "quit" >> ftpscriptfile.txt

rem The following should do the transfer
ftp -n -s:ftpscriptfile.txt

--------------------------------------------------------
Linux is the same idea, different syntax

cat - <<EOF > ftpscriptfile.txt
open MACHINENAME
user USERNAME PASSWORD
ascii
get FILENAME
quit
EOF
ftp -n < ftpscriptfile.txt



Good luck and let me know if I should clarify further

Thanks for your help. But I just want send message, for example: Hey Go for lunch! to another.
Ftp I can use gftp!!!!

Ooops. I understand now.

how about


write <user@hostname>

then enter text and type control-D

You may have write permissions turned off
This looks like

[j@localhost j]$ write
write: you have write permission turned off.

Type
mesg y

This allows people to write to you.
They may need to know what terminal you are on.

[j@localhost j]$ who -a
Apr 12 22:12 16 id=si term=0 exit=0
system boot Apr 12 22:12
run-level 5 Apr 12 22:12 last=S
Apr 12 22:12 939 id=l5 term=0 exit=0
:0 Apr 13 01:12 0 id=:0 term=0 exit=0
LOGIN tty1 Apr 12 22:12 2362 id=1
LOGIN tty2 Apr 12 22:12 2363 id=2
LOGIN tty3 Apr 12 22:12 2364 id=3
LOGIN tty4 Apr 12 22:12 2365 id=4
LOGIN tty5 Apr 12 22:12 2366 id=5
LOGIN tty6 Apr 12 22:12 2367 id=6
[j@localhost j]$ write LOGIN tty1
write: LOGIN has messages disabled on tty1
[j@localhost j]$ su LOGIN -c mesg y
[j@localhost j]$ write LOGIN
Yo! Go to lunch!
<Control-D>

Actually this may only work when the two users are logged into sessions on the same localhost.

Across different computers, possibly you could send
rexec user@localhost write username


net send, that is the Windows cmd.exe version ? You could install Samba and use that for net send functionality. Let me know if you need further.

Thank you very much. I did it. But in Window, you meant that I should down load a samba software?

Dear MarkBurke,

Would you like to show that I can use net send a message from Window to Linux or how to use samba in Window?

Thanks!!!!!!!!
