How to transfer files from a Linux partition to Windows

so you have thsi harddrive installed in linux server ? is that right ??


I have looked at the hard drive on a Ubuntu system, and tried copying them on both an NTFS and FAT32 partition, but the files are unreadable.  : so you saying, after you mount the hardrive in ubuntu system, you can copy the files but you can read those files ???

if those file was in linux server, then you should try mounting with ext3 or ext2 format

not fat or ntfs

No, the hard drive from the Mirra is attached to my Ubuntu system via USB.

ok
if you do

fdisk -l

do you see your hardrive ??

Here it is. The files are on one of the 70 GB partitions.

ok this sdb is your usb

can you try to mount /dev/sdb , if it does not give you full file, then will try to mount every pertitions


mount /dev/sdb /mnt

may be, mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb /mnt

now go to
cd /mnt
see if you see any files

I have no trouble seeing the files with the GUI app.

so whats the problem ??

How do I get my files back, accessible on a Windows system?

I have looked at the hard drive on a Ubuntu system, and tried copying them on both an NTFS and FAT32 partition, but the files are unreadable on a Windows computer.

hold on

so you see all your file in ubuntu system , right ??

now you will have to copy those file to a windows sytem

from a windows pc, download wincp, connect to ubuntu system via wincp. and download all the file to windows

or i am missing something>??

I'm assuming fosiul01 means WinSCP - you can get it from http://winscp.net/eng/index.php

You may also need to install ssh on the ubuntu server if it isn't there already, you can do it with:
apt-get install ssh openssh-server

Newer server installs have this installed by default, older ones (such as 6.06LTS) don't have it installed by default. I can't remember whether it is there or not for 8.04.

I get "Target machine actively refused it". Is there anything I need to do on the Ubuntu for sccess?

you meant you tyed by wincp ??

you might need to open port 22  and have to make sure openssh-server is runing

do this on ubuntu

 ps aux | grep -v grep | grep  sshd

see its sshd runnin

I ran "sudo apt-get install ssh openssh-server". Unable to connect

I ran " ps aux" | "grep -v grep" After entering  "grep -v grep", the cursor has been blinking for ~20 minutes. Unable to connect.

NO you are doing wrong

ps aux | grep sshd

show me the output

also

lsof -i TCP | grep sshd

show me the output

Still unable to connect

ps aux|grep sshd
root      5814  0.0  0.1   5436  1048 ?        Ss   11:48   0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
greg      6788  0.0  0.0   3336   796 pts/0    S+   12:18   0:00 grep sshd

lsof -i TCP|grep sshd
sshd    5814 root    3u  IPv4  31806       TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)
sshd    5814 root    4u  IPv6  31808       TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)

ok thats mean, sshd is running

from windos pc , from command prompt tyep this

telnet ip-of-debiain-server 22

see if it connect

if it does not connect that mean, your iptables or firewalls blockign the port 22

"Target machine actively refused it" states that the firewall is in action and is refusing connections on port 22!

Port 22 is not open. Right now I am set up with 2 computers (Windows and Ubuntu) and a switch. The Windows machine does not have a firewall

How do I open port 22 on the Ubuntu machine?

Check this

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall

if ufw is installed, the three commands below will open port 22 and let you see the satus

$ sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp
$ sudo ufw enable
$ sudo ufw status

if it is not installed, it can be installed using

$ sudo apt-get install ufw

sory, my office was finished,

yes , do as @samdart said to open port for 22 for ssh

then you would be able to do

ok, I have "22/tcp Allow Anywhere" but am still being blocked

Running "ifconfig" I got "Link encap: loopback" and an ip address of 127.0.0.1

Do I need to change the IP address? If so, how?

is that server is connected to your network ??
can you ping the server from windows pc via ip ??

whats the ip of this server??

can you do

ping serverip ??
does it ping ??

Can you post the output of running ifconfig -a?

I can ping the IP address (127.0.0.1)

Output of "ifconfig -a"

Your eth0 (network interface) does not have an IP address.

Is it connected to the network/switch? Please double check the connections. Also try restarting the network service.

Can you browse internet or ping the local network from this machine?

nop
your this box does not have any ip which should be in eth0

how your network is setup?? do you have dhcp server ??
or do you setup ip staticly ??

your this question now heading to differnt direction
i would advise, open a new quesiton for this,
as the original mounting problem has been solved.

so you should create  new question with this problem
then come back here with wincp to copy from windows to linux

Can you tell me how to set a static IP address on Ubuntu

fhaahah
sure i

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

insert like this

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.254


then

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

change the IP as your needs

you can get the Ip list and othr such as gateway from your windows pc

ipconfig /all

just change Ip , ( i meant, select an IP which is not used by your network)

I know this sounds very basic, but I do not know how to change the IP address in Ubuntu. Ithe ethernet port works, I have gotten on line with the Ubuntu box. But I do not know how to change the IP address.

Would you give me the steps?

i gave you the step in my previous comment

still look at this one

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html


if you are not sure, show me the out put of

cat /etc/network/interfaces

also
ipconfig /all from windows

output for "cat /etc/network/interfaces"
 "No such file or directory"

I have looked at the link. Using their line commands brings up some type of app, but I do not know how to use them.

I really need a step by step on the Ubuntu box; I am a complete amateur on Linux. I do not know how to get to the place to edit the ip address. I do not know how to use the tools that come up with "vi" or "nano".

Does Ubuntu just have a GUI to point, click, and edit?

ok...
i dont have ubunu so i cant help you with Gui tool

whats the output at windows

ipconfig /all

can you show me the output

ok look this one

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-change-ip-address/

gui tool to change network

I am taking a break from (but not ending) the discussion.

I successfully changed the IP address, etc, but can not access Port 22. Rather than take this discussion further off course, I opened another thread at:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24541439/How-do-I-open-and-access-Poet-22-on-Ubuntu-9-04.html

I will be back soon.

Do you have a GUI installed gleiby?

By default, an ubuntu server does not have a GUI installed (you can add one later - but on a server its usually not worth it). The desktop version has a GUI by default.

Did you change your IP using vi or nano? Or did you use a GUI tool?

I am using Ubuntu desktop. I used the GUI tool (see samdart:'s post above).

you dont Read!!!

i said here so many times and other post aswell

whats the ip of your windows pc

can you show the out put of

ipconfig /all

form windows pc

Ok, here is my update...where I am right now

I ditched Ubuntu Desktop and installed Ubuntu Server.

Assigen IP addresses:
XP box 10.10.10.100
Ubuntu box 10.10.10.50

I can ping the Ubuntu box from the XP box

On the XP command prompt, when I enter "telnet 10.10.10.50 22" i get "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1" Then after a few minutes I get "Connection to host lost"

When  I attempt to use WinSCP I get:
Connecting to 10.10.10.50:22...
Connected to10.10.10.50:22. Waiting for welcome message...
Conncection failed
Timeout detected
Connection failed
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1

On the Ubuntu console, when I enter "ps aux | grep sshd" I get:
root 2472 0.0 0.1 5436 1076 ? Ss 9:26 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
greg 4459 0.0 0.0 3340 808 ttyl S+ 10:04 0:00 grep sshd

When I enter "lsof -i TCP|grep sshd" I get
sshd 2472 root 3u IPv4 6459 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)
sshd 2472 root 4u IPv6 6461 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN)

Any ideas on what I am missing? Is there any more information I should post? Thanks

burn ISO to cd
Insert into Ubuntu system
select option 11

on your xp machine
Start > Run > \\{ip address that TRK outputs as its IP}

Mission complete.

Burn the TRK .ISO to cd
Insert into Ubuntu system and reboot Ubuntu box... boot from TRK CD
select "share files no security"

The process mounts the hard drive partitions as NTFS-3G

This is a flawless NTFS-like file system that is fully compatable with XPs NTFS file system.

Have you tried my solution I do it all of the time for recovery/transfer

Issues solved

Using Ubuntu Desktop with WinSCP (SFTP-3), I made the link and copied the files.

I am closing this case as problem solved.

My next issue is how the Mirra drive saved the files. ~30 character file names, no extensions, and no readily identifiable way for determining what the files are.

And thank you for helping a noob in his first navigation of Linux.

For anyone interested, here is my next thread:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24554314/Mirra-Backup-Server-How-can-I-find-out-what-my-original-file-extensions-were.html

What the? Did you even try out my simple solution. It is fully compatible with windows XP and you wouldn't have all of these file issues.
