What is the best way to copy a file from linux or unbuntu, to microsoft? Is there a way to do so?

Do you want to share data between Linux and Windows OSes installed in same machine or via network?

Don't most newbie questions sound like that? You could get the answer to almost any newbie question by doing a Google search, as long as you know what to search for. I for one think this is a reasonable question, and given the ambiguity of it, suspect it is based on a practical need. Most homework questions have a more directed flavor about them.

To aid the poster in finding his answer, he should understand the question that devils casper threw back at him. In the context of the original question, 'Microsoft' could be interpreted as a network attached Windows host that is running. It is also common to have a single host that can boot Windows or Linux. In this scenario, it is often desirable to read and write files across the two (or more) OS's filesystems, on that single host.

In the first scenario, there are two possible 'sub-scenarios'. In one, you are looking at the Linux-centric viewpoint; getting and putting files on a remote Windows host. In the other, you are looking at it from a Windows user's perspective; getting & putting files that are on a remote Linux host. Both cases are treated differently.

There is a third scenario these days, which is that one OS can be a host OS to a virtual OS of a different flavor. I don't know the answer to this scenario, and feel certain that this is not the scenario that the original poster is in.

I agree with most of what you say. I didn't lock the thread for a reason, I wanted to give the OP a chance to reply and tell me it wasn't school related, perhaps even ask for clarification, so there was no harm done. I simply left a mild warning and moved on.
