Trying to run FTP client on Linux machine and connect to Windows machine (it seems that you describe that) can only help when FTP server is running on the Windows machine.

I recommend the following:

1) check that SSH daemon is running on the Linux machine. Try running on it to check.

2) check that Windows machine can ping the Linux machine. For that you can run in Windows cmd.exe session.

3) get an SCP client on the Windows machine. A good example would be WinSCP.

4) Instruct SCP client on the Windows machine to connect to Linux machine with your login and password. After that you should be able to browse its FS and copy the needed files.

You have to make sure your Windows machine is accepting FTP connections. To do so that machine must be running an FTP server, and your firewall must be configured to allow incoming connections on port 21. You might also have to configure the *client* to allow incoming connections on port 20 (if using *active* FTP).

Therefore, you must be able to configure your firewall by port on the machine with the FTP server. (And maybe also on the client, if using active FTP.

This website explains the difference between active and passive FTP very well:

If you have not set up an FTP server on the Windows machine, and/or have not opened the ports on that machine (and maybe the client), then the connection will fail.

I have not set up FTP, personally. I don't know if it might be easier for Linux to be the server...but I am guessing you wanted it the other way around, because you can script your Linux machine to "push" data to Windows. Do I understand that correctly?

If you haven't done the necessary tasks yet, you need to set up your sever and firewall. If you have done that properly, then please post the error(s) here.

For this sort of thing, woof is very, very neat, and soooo simple.

I suggest you try it.

netstat -ant| grep 21
see if there is something like this in the result 0.0.0.0:21
This means that the port 21 is occupies and most likely it should be taken by ftp only.
also if i am not wrong netstat -le may even show you what bnianries are running on what port.

Still i am unable to transfer files between windows and linux machine.
From windows machine i can able to ping linux machine IP, but vice versa is not working

Please Help me ASAP
