Can I move a file from WINE to Linux?

Question

I downloaded a torrent using utorrent on WINE but I need to move the file from wine to linux is this possible? if so tell me the steps.

Answer 1

of course

wine is run as a local user so that means wine can only write to what. Thats right your home directory

now the symbol for your home directory is

~

~ means ~${USER} where $USER is you

so ~root would be roots home which is normally /root or ~you would probably be /home/you



so wine is a hidden which in linux means its name begins with a .

so

# cd ~/.wine

or in your file browser turn on show hidden files

but to continue

# cd ~/.wine/drive_c/

is drive c to wine

# cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/

is windows to wine

you can edit all these settings with a nice gui

# winecfg



hope this helps.`



All of the above is why no one writes virus for linux. because unless you execute the virus as root

the virus could only effect your home directory

which would only effect one user

which would server no real purpose

not to mention linux users are obviously smarter then windows users.

WHICH IS why people don't like to tell you how to become root, because its "dangerous" if linux continues to catch on, running as root (administrator in windows) is one of the reason windows has so many security virus issues(not to mention the size of its users base and the average computer knowledge of its users)

Answer 2

I could be more specific if I know which version of linux you are using, and exactly what you were trying to move etc.

Go to your main menu and look for a program that will function like windows explorer; it could be called konqueror or nautilus. Use that program like you would windows explorer and browse your files system to find the file in WINE and move it to where you want to put it.

Good luck
