If u want to use a CD or DVD image (*.iso files) then u wont need an additional software in linux as on windows you just need to mount that image file to some directory, which can be done simply by executing the following command –>

mount -t iso9660 path_to_iso.iso path_to_mount_directory -o loop

example –>

mount -t iso9660 /tmp/game.iso /root/game -o loop

Here ->

1.mount is the command.

2.”-t” is option for specifying file system type.

3. “iso9660″ is the file system type for iso image.

4. “/tmp/game.iso” isthe path for the iso file to be mounted.

5. “/root/game” is the directory where the iso file has to be mounted.

Dont worry if you are using compiz and the title bar of all your windows suddenly disappear…this is just because the window decorator you are using has crashed….

Now there are two ways to get out of it…clean one is restart you machine….but if u r stuck with something and dont want to restart then just use the following command —>

1. “kde-window-decorator –replace” (if you are using the kde3 window decorator).

2.”emerald –replace” (if you are using emerald window decorator).

3.”kde4-window-decorator –replace” (if you are using kde4 window decorator).

And if compiz-fusion as a whole crashes the try the command “compiz ccp&”.

But u will need a restart eventually to make EVERY thing normal.

scp copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses ssh for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security as ssh. Unlike rcp, scp will ask for passwords or  passphrases if they are needed for authentication.

It can be useful for automated transferring of files using coding.The prompt for password can be bypassed by generating authenticated public and private keys using command “ssh-keygen” and after that “scp” can be simply called using the “system” function in c++ etc. and automated file transfer can take place.

example syntax :–

scp user@host1:source_file_path user@host2:destination_file_path

example :–

scp /root/send.txt root@172.16.11.22:/root/received.txt

using this the file send.txt in the local machine will be copied and renamed as received.txt to /root directory of machine 172.16.11.22 and the connection to machine 172.16.11.22 will be made as user root on that machine ( ofcourse password will be asked unless a public private key relation is mentained between both machines).
