Viewing Unix File Systems from Windows Expolorer

by ianknapper . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

Hi

We are trying to view a directory on a Unix system (IBM AIX 5.3) from Windows Explorer using straight ftp from the Explorer GUI.

The file listing (in list view) comes up with a time stamp on the file name which is actually not there.

i.e. From either Unix command line or windows cmd (using ftp to access the unix box) a file called ian.txt exists.

When we view this from ftp through Windows Explorer the name of the same file is displayed as:
09:00 ian.txt

FOr clarification all files in the directory show in this way.

This is preventing the copy of file from the unix server as the file we are trying to grab does not acutally exist.

Does anyone know hwo to remove the time stamp when viewing Unix File Systems from Windows Expolorer?

This must be somthing in Explorer as ftp to the unix box via MS CMD works fine.

Thanks
