How do I copy files from Unix server?
Greetings mates,
I am not a Unix guy but I do have some files with a .docx extension saved on a unix server.
We would like to copy these files into a flas drive or windows local drive.
It would be great to copy the all files with that extension all at once but if it is easier to cop them one file at a time, then that would be great.
Many thanks in advance

If you have ssh access to the unix box, you can use WinSCP to transfer the files. Just tell WinSCP the hostname/IP of your unix server and provide your normal unix login credentials. You will see an explorer-like interface that you can drag and drop files, select multiple files at once, etc.

THank you @papertrip for the quick response.
Walk me through this a bit.
Is the ssh installed on the unix server?
What is the process?
Thanks

Do you have an account on the unix server? How do you login to the unix server normally?

I normall log in through Oracle TOAD because Oracle db sits on that unix server.
If I need I access to the unix server, the will give me one.
I just wanted to make sure I have the tools I need to get the files I need.
Then I can ask them for access which they will gladl give.
Thanks again

Cool that makes this easier then. Just tell your admins you need ssh access to the server to copy files via scp, they will know what you are talking about :)
Then just follow my initial instructions and you should be fine.

Just so I understand this, every unix server has ssh access and I need access to that ssh?
I told you I am a novice when it comes to Unix.

You should have ssh or ftp on your server.
Try using scp which is based on ssh as per Papertrip's recommendation. If you cannot connect to it, you may also try ftp using filezilla.

If by scp you mean winscp, then yes, I have that on my PC.
I also have PuTTy. I just have not used them.
I will do as you guys instructed tomorrow and post back.
