or download SSH from ftp.ssh.com. It comes with all the secure shell stuff (scp, sftp, ssh, etc...).
How about smbclient ?
Share your EQ Directory on the windows box and you can use
smbclient //EQboxname/sharename
to access the files, just like ftp. If you require a username it can be supplied via '-U username' option at the smbclient command. As always 'man smbclient' for further options
Here is what I did since I couldn't ftp to my linux box (have not figured out why, but anyway...)
On the EQ box, I zipped up the spells_en.txt with WinZip 8 and E-mailed it to myself.
Then on the SEQ box, loaded the mail client to receive the E-mail and saved the attachment into my home directory.
Then from my home directory, I did the following:
unzip spells_en.zip
dos2unix < spells_en.txt > /usr/local/share/showeq/spells_en.txt
Worked great.
WOW! Tried
This was by far the easiest!How about smbclient ?
Share your EQ Directory on the windows box and you can use
smbclient //EQboxname/sharename
1. open terminal window
2 Typed : smbclient //mywindowscomputername/everquest
3. asked for my Windows password
4. Type : dir and it listed my everquest directory.
5. I tryed "copy" and it did not work
6. Typed get spells_en.txt
7. The file was transfer to my Linux box.
Sweet!
Found another way that is graphical (means it shows up in Konqueror for easy point and click copy)
1.open terminal window and cd to /mnt directory
2. type: mkdir /win <-----this can be any name. It will be the name of the directory you look for to see the files on the Windows box using Konqueror
3. type: smbmount //windows_computer_name/shared_windows _directory /mnt/win <-----this should match the file name you used in step 2
4. enter your windows password when asked.
5. done
Open Konqueror and go to /mnt/win and you will now see your windows directory/files. you can now do a simple point and click copy.
Isn't konqueror able to mount CIFS shares dynamicly itself ?
so entering an url like: smb://host/ lists all shares for me, if you prefer the clicky-bunty way
suseuser7341, I just got around to tryig what you suggested and sure enough . it beats them all for simplisty.
For the other newbs like me:
1. Open Konqueror
2. In the window slot beside "Location" type smb://windows_computer_name ENTER
3. BINGO all shared files and folders appear for easy point and click copy and paste.
Thank you everyone for sharing your information

So if this is the text I am getting when ShowEQ starts, does that mean it worked or didnt?
The amount of spells it loads, and the maxspell number of mine dont match what was in a previous post in this thread.
I did the same as a previous poster, emailed the file to myself, via hotmail, and downloaded it on the SEQ machine.Code:Loaded 4294 spells from '/usr/local/share/showeq/spells_en.txt' maxSpell=0x1142
*edit: it cut off my code, moving it to three lines.

Freckyuno,
looks like you are missing a lot of spells. I suggest you do one of the simple steps above and transfer the file instead of e-mail then try it . if that does not work try the dos2unix to make sure it is proprerly formatted. When I load the spells I get like 33283 spells loaded.
Actually jesterbam, 4294 spells is actually the correct count for the current version of EQ with a max spell id of 0x1142 (which for the hexadecimal impaired is 4418).
Also, as I mentioned in the CHANGES (and the announcement) for 4.3.14 the loading of those text files is now line termination tolerant.
Enjoy,

Thanks Zaphod. I copied over a new version of the spells_en.txt and sure enough I get the numbers you said. Thanks for everything, your work is amazing.
I did the emial thing. I zipped my spells_en file and emailed to myself. put the file in my usr/local/share/showeq folder. and then tried a few commands that people posted. and it always said
Problem converting spells to Dos..
either way i try it it tells me there are problems converting the spells_en.txt file
I tried: dos2unix < spells_en.txt > /usr/local/share/showeq/spells_en.txt and
unix2dos < spells_en.txt > /usr/local/share/showeq/spells_en.txt
when I opened the file in my showeq file I didnt see any headers or anything I needed to delete.. it all looked fine. anyone have an idea to what I am doing wrong?

1) as was posted in the announcements forum you no longer need to convert it.
2) If you still are going to convert it, do it right. (man dos2unix).
Code:NAME dos2unix - DOS/MAC to UNIX text file format converter SYNOPSYS dos2unix [options] [-c convmode] [-o file ...] [-n infile outfile ...] Options: [-hkqV] [--help] [--keepdate] [--quiet] [--version] DESCRIPTION This manual page documents dos2unix, the program that con_ verts plain text files in DOS/MAC format to UNIX format.
