jagguy Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I need to copy php files from remote linux (apache) server to windows usb drive. I am using php windows but the files were created in php under linux. Do I just download them or do I need to do something to make this work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzman1 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Have you had an opened ftp or ssh connection to the remote machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagguy Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yes I will use cpanel, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzman1 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Did you create an ftp account to this domain? If so, all you need to do is to connect to the server via some GUI or console ftp program ( FileZilla Client version is a good choice) and to download files into your local flash drive.

trq Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Do I just download them or do I need to do something to make this work No, nothing special. Just download them. PHP files are simply text files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagguy Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 ok you have made it clear about no (major)issues to expect. So can I conclude you can place text files on either windows/linux without worrying about compatibility issues? With cpanel I have a direct link to files where I can download, why would I use a FTP to just download files when I can do this with cpanel?

Solution trq Posted June 11, 2014 Solution Share Posted June 11, 2014 So can I conclude you can place text files on either windows/linux without worrying about compatibility issues? Both systems use different line ending but this doesn't generally cause any issue. Its just means that sometimes weird characters show up in different text editors. With cpanel I have a direct link to files where I can download, why would I use a FTP to just download files when I can do this with cpanel? Whatever is easiest, it doesn't really matter. I think jazzman1 misunderstood the question / issue at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
