[Gate-users] Transfering Files to Shared Folder

[LARS.EWELL at HAMPTONU.EDU]

To Whom it May Concern,

  I have been transferring files from our linux cluster to my local desktop, on which I'm running a copy of vGATE.

  Per the instructions in the Oracle Virtual Box manual, I  mount the Windows folder onto a directory in the virtual machine running Ubutnu linux, and I can transfer the files.

  The problem arises when I look over the files in Ubutnu.  Sometimes the files, which are GATE '.mac' text files, appear in red text when looking at them in Ubutnu linux.  The system does not recognize them and if I do an 'ls -l', I get a series of question marks where the read-write information would normally be.  I thought it was due to the file extension (mac), but that turned out not to be the case.

  It seems random and I have a hard time getting Ubutnu linux to recognize the .mac files I have been transferring from my Windows machine to the virtual machine running Ubutnu via a sharred folder.

  Any suggestions?  I have played with ascii and binary transfer with my copy of WinSCP I'm using to transfer the files from our linux cluster to my Windows machine.

  Thanks in advance.

  Regards,

  Lars Ewell
