my work setup at work is still the same… win7 with a vmware guest redhat which i work on… a big part of the company is windows based, thats why i need to have access outside of the unix… one way is good old copy-paste… an other is webmail… and the next, which i actually use a lot is mounting… so here is the mount command, which i normaly need to google all the time 🙂
mount -t cifs //ntserver/download -o username=vivek,password=myPassword /mnt/ntserver
We work on a windows pc on a java application. Windows because our company just provied us with these computers and installing a linux system is highly forbidden… but still our java applications will be deployed on linux machines… a few of us developer have 2nd pc for development, but i m not one of these lucky guys… ok vm ware is a solution, but i m kinda lazy… and currently see no downside on developing on windows… ok there is one… deployment…
we have a deploy script 🙂 .sh 🙁 and cygwin out of the box has no scp intalled… following manual explains, how this can be fixed 🙂 http://www.question-defense.com/2010/01/07/how-to-install-scp-and-ssh-on-windows-7-using-cygwin
