If there is any type of network connectivity from the original linux host to the destination, such as ssh, there may be a way to "tunnel" an scp stream. This will work even if you have to access the "DMZ" from an access host. I suspec the unix-dos conversion is being done by ftp. > When I go to edit the file on my destination Linux server, > it is now recognized by "vi" as a DOS file! > I suspect this is being done by the CD-ROM burner as far as setting a > file format. > I have tried specifying an ISO 9660 format for the CD-ROM, > but all this does is mess up the file names to the old 8.3 format, > and the files themselves still get whacked into a DOS filetype. > > How can I convert a file designated as a DOS type, to a UNIX type? Another tool to take a look at is cygwin. In your case, it would need to be installed on the W2K host. It'll provide you with a shell environment that you get with a linux host. In that environment you could build an iso that would preserve the file name structure found on the original host. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
