Can i transfer files from linux server to windows via RSH


I am working on a NAS aaplication project.

In file system backup, with ssh protocol i can copy linux server file to linux client.(i need to specify user as root with valid password and the IP address of client machine)

Now , i have 2 more options rsh and ftp.

Can i use any of these two options for transferring files from linux server to windows client?

Yup. Get PuTTY, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty, put it on winders, configure for your network and away you go (you'll be using scp and sftp, though). You do not want to fiddle around with insecure access and file transfers with rsh and "bare" ftp.

Thank u tronayne.

I was able to check out the working of ftp.

I got a ftp machine from my administrator.He created a user and gave credentials to that user on that machine.

Then from my nAs server, copied the files(data) to that ftp machine.

I wanted to check if ftp is working in my project.

Concluded that ftp rpm was not present in my server.After installing this rpm, i could transfer my data successfully.
