Accessing Linux files from Win2K Professional


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a disk full of Linux files that I need to look at from my Win2k

professional desktop. The workstation has Windows Services For Unix 3.5 on

it. The disk connects with a USB port. Unforunately, that is as far as I can

get. Looking at what documentation that I have been able to find so far, I

cannot find any easy way to make this happen.

 

Any suggestions?

I'm not 100% certain on this but I don't think there is any native way that

Win2k (or any flavor of Windows) can access Linux/Unix drives (files

systems). I think you'll have to look into something like Samba and share

the required files/folders. You also may want to post your question on one

of the Linux forums.

Total Comander has plugin that connects Linux partions. Try to search in

that way.
