I've been using the IDL software in Windows environment for many years . Recently, I encountered a problem and I could not solve it. Please guide if possible. The problem is that I've written a code in IDL that needs to read data with test.dat format from the another machine with linux environment of course two these machine are network. Unfortunately, when calling the open command the following error message appears:
“The system cannot find the path specified.”
and the open command is :
data_path ='root/home/mydirectory/'
openr,1, data_path+test+"."+"dat"
The code source is in the Windows and the the test.dat is in another machine with linux. I think the path given is wrong, but I do not know how to connect the two machine or change the path.
This question is not IDL specific, but is related to the way a Linux filesystem can be accessed from a Windows box.
Several solutions exists. The most common is to install a Samba server on the Linux server and to connect Windows to the remote system. You'll find a lot of examples on the net.
data_path ='root/home/mydirectory/'
or
data_path ='/root/home/mydirectory/'
?
