Hello Ram,

If you are on a Windows computer and want to copy files to/from a Linux computer, you can use the free tool "WinSCP", as long as you have the ssh server running at the Linux computer.

I believe that this would be the easiest way.

Hi Isaias,

     winscp is for copying the files.. But in linux system I need to share my folder from my windows system..  I have mounted in root directory but if i access from my sap application its showing permission denied.. and i could not change the permission for that directory (get_data) also..

How to change permission in this directory /root/.gvfs/get_data..

cheers,

Hello Ram,

So it seems that you need to access files at a Windows computer from an SAP system running at a Linux server. Is this correct?

If yes, do not mount it under "/root". Mount it under "/mnt" instead.

Please also confirm that your mount command is mounting the share in read/write mode, in case you need SAP to be able to write data to the Windows share as well, and that the user/password you're

using at the mount command has read/write permissions at your Windows computer (at both the share and the filesystem).

Hello Ram,

It would depend on how are you already mounting it under "/root".

The general steps would be to create a folder under "/mnt", and then change the mount command/software you're already using to mount the share under the "/mnt/<new folder>" instead of "/root".
