Accessing folders under Linux
Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2025 10:08 AM

Hi,

Under Windows, from the program on FW, I can access the user's folder like this "C:\Users\"+WNetGetUser()+"\"
1. How can I do this if I run the program under Linux (on Wine) ?
2. The path to the current folder ?

Thank you, Antonio! I'll try.

What about the folder creation and deletion functions ?

1. getenv("HOME") under Linux returns empty for some reason. :(
2. Please write an implementation of the Getcwd() function under FW

Hi Natter !!!

Perhaps our friend @Cristobal Navarro help us. He has a solution to Linux access from Harbour/FWH using SSH class.

Best regards,

Maybe.. If he reads this post :D

1. How can I find out the user's home directory? getenvv("HOME") under Wine will return empty (can I only find out the user's name getenv("USER"))?
2. How to run a script file from under Wine (I run under Windows.bat file via Shell:Run, but as in Linux, there is no cmd there)?

Is it possible to execute a Linux script file from a FW program running under Wine ?

Dear Natter !!!

Do you really need to use Wine?

You can use plink.exe from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html to execute a linux script from FWH applicantion on Linux server.

https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2017/05/putty-plink-examples/#google_vignette

Cristobal's solution is more transparent and sophisticated.

Best regards,

Natter

Yes, I use Wine. One part of my clients has Windows, the other has Linux.

Each OS has its own cloud client installed. There are no problems with the Windows client.

I would try FW for Linux, but it's difficult right now.

What do you mean by Cristobal's decision ?
