copy file from local host to remote host

[Thomas Houseman]

Hello,
I need to copy a simple file from local file system , to another computer on the same network.

How should i do that in a simple java program ?

Thanks !

Map a drive to that other host. Copy to a file on that mapped drive.

Thanks,
How do I do that in linux ? (both src and dest are linux).

There are many ways to do it in Linux, ssh, telnet, ftp, etc.

Please google the Java API for all those things.

Well , I tried that from winXP to winXP on another machine and it worked great :

  
       InputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File("C:\\temp\\myFile.txt"));
        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File("\\\\9.143.85.143\\c$\\tmp\\myFile.txt"));
    
        // Transfer bytes from in to out
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        int len;
        while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
            out.write(buf, 0, len);
        }
        in.close();
        out.close();
  

BUT, in order to copy to a linux machine, I tried to put this as the new File :

  
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File("\\\\9.143.86.145\\root\\tmp\\myFile.txt"));
  

and it doesn't work. How should I format the new File path in order to copy to a linux FS ?


Thanks !

Linux isn't the same as Windows. You can't do it that way. If you prefer to do it that way. You need to create an NFS share and then mount it.

I'm afraid I can't do that because I have to copy this file into an existing directory dedicated for that.
Is there any other way I can copy this simple file to a linux machine ?
