jsch file copy from Linux to Windows

[robbie keane]

Hi,
I want to copy a file from Linux machine (local m/c) to Windows remote m/c. What all is required for that (eg. ssh daemon etc)? I'm able to copy file from windows to linux using jcraft (jsch).
Pls help.
Thanks in anticipation.

Why not setup a samba server

[robbie keane]

is there any other way to achieve this? there must be licensing issues with Samba and i've to copy file from linux to windows from a shell file (like i could do using jcraft)

[Ulf Dittmer]

The JCIFS library can do this from within Java code.

[robbie keane]

Thanks Ulf. Does that mean I've to first install Samba on my Linux box and then uske JCIFS library in my java code to copy the file. What service do i need to start on remote windows machine and how do i set that?

cheers

You don't need to install anything on either side. The only requirement is that on the Windows side the target directory must be shared, so that it's accessible over the network. But you can protect it with a username/password, so that shouldn't be a problem.

While we are on this topic. I will ask this question. I have a dual boot laptop with Windows XP Professional installed on one partition and RedHat Fedora Core 4 on another. I can access anything I want from my Windows partition while I am using Linux using auto mount. Is there something similar that I can do on the Windows side while I am working in Windows to access the Linux partition?

That's really not the same topic at all. Please do not hijack threads with unrelated questions - start a new topic.

Thanks Ulf. But how will the linux box recognise "smb://"?
Can you please send the url from where i can get the code to make connection to remote windows m/c. All the examples on http://jcifs.samba.org/src/examples/ like CopyTo.java etc use arguments that will be passed into copyTo() method but none tells how will the arguments look like. I'm sure i don't have to use property file for storing remote m/c info and all that can be done in single java file.
Thanks in advance.

The URL looks something like this:

smb://username assword@192.168.110.80/shared_directory/

Thanks Ulf but I'm getting error while copying file. It's the CopyTo.java code (from jcisf examples)

import jcifs.smb.SmbFile;
public class CopyTo {
public static void main( String argv[] ) throws Exception {
SmbFile from = new SmbFile( argv[0] );
SmbFile to = new SmbFile( argv[1] );
from.copyTo( to );
}
}
and when i run the command on linux m/c
java CopyTo smb://username:loginPswd@172.19.47.101/usr/java/z.txt smb://username:loginPswd@172.19.39.53/share/deploy
I get the foll exception

Hi robbie,

Can you please tell me how to transfer file from windows to linux using jcraft(jsch)?

[Lovely Chhabr]

Hi robbie,

I'm still having problems doing this - getting the same exception as you've mentioned.

Did anybody got a solution for this?

Thanks!
