Is there a way check whether a file is compressed in the file system in Windows 10?
fileattrib doesn't return the FILE_FILE_COMPRESSION flag.

I am trying to convert .vmx to OVF format using OVFtool. I am following the below steps:
Copying .vmx and .vmdk file using "scp" command from ESX server to
one linux box.
On linux box, executed command [# ovftool myVM.vmx myOVF.ovf] from
the location where .vmx and .vmdk are present. I get error as below:
Opening VMX source: myVM.vmx
Error: Failed to open disk: myVM.vmdk
Completed with errors
Please can anyone suggest
I have also noticed that on ESX there are 2-3 .vmdk files of same VM, myVM-flat.vmdk, myVM.vmdk, myVM-000001.vmdk. Do I need to copy all .vmdk files to linux box and then convert file format?
Thanks!
You have answered the question yourself :). Yes you need to copy all the files e.g myVM-000001.vmdk, myVM-flat.vmdk, myVM.vmdk to your location and then do the conversion.
We hold a file on a server where we store a version number. Now we update the file extension with that version number (not my choice and not something I can change).
So what I need to be able to do in a batch file is to read that file extension. I know the path to the file and the filename, but need to be able to determine what the extension currently is.
you can search with a wildcard character * to find the file
dir file.txt.* /s /p
I have a 4 GB text file, compressed to 1.4 GB zip file. I need to copy it over to a Windows secure server using RDP. I am able to copy small files but not this file. It takes 15 mins and then shows an error. Any tips?
You can try to copy it by using Drive Redirection. Here's a tutorial.
BTW, RDP cannot copy files larger than 2GB by using clipboard as said in Microsoft support
window rdp clipboard has limit of about 2GB if you want to copy paste more than 2 gb file then you can try any of these options.
split file into parts like 1 gb each part with help of winrar or any other software
Use any FTP software
map local pc drive for remote desktop session(for move or copy data)
File size doesn't matter - I copied folders through Remote Desktop connection with 30GB and more. While doing this I received "Unspecified error". The Problem is that you aren't allowed to use the clipboard again while you are copying. Doesn't matter if you use the clipboard for the same machine or from the remote machine. To summarize don't use Ctrl+C.
The madness is the error is delayed so you don't recognize quickly that those things relate.
format usb drive as ntfs
connect drive as local resource in remote desktop
NET USE X: \\TSCLIENT\F
robocopy c:\source x:\
net use X: /delete
If you are administrator, you can copy the files of any size over the network using Administrative Shares assuming that it is not purposefully disabled.
Enter the following url on your File Explorer and you will see all the files and folders on your C drive of that computer with read and write access:
\\computername\c$
right-click zip-file >> Properties >> Advanced >> Encrypt contents
open your one-drive or googledrive (if the secure server allows you) and park the encrypted file on there.
(you might have to one-drive space by signing up to a months 365)

I guess it would might be possible to use google datastore or something cloudy.
I am trying to copy some zipped file from FTP to my local system (Windows). The transfer mode is default mode (ASCII). File is getting copied, I am not getting any problem during transfer.
The problem is that the size of file on FTP to the one which is copied on my local system is different.
FTP_file_size -> 12,812,085
Copied_file_size->12,551
Above files should be the same.
Now I am not able to figure it out what is wrong going with transfer.
For script which i am using please refer :
Why am I getting "File not found" errors with this Perl script using Net::FTP?
You have to use the binary (type "I") mode to transfer. Otherwise the FTP client translates line-ending characters to the local convention (on Windows: CR-LF) which would corrupt the ZIP format.
In SQL I'm using xp_cmdShell to run FTP commands. I have no problem getting the list of files or copying files to the local server, but I want to compare copied file size to the original to make sure the get has been successful.
Any ideas on how to compare file sizes?
From a command prompt you can use the DOS File Compare command (fc). In your case you probably want to do a binary compare (there is no file size compare). I binary compare should work in your case.
Most DOS commands will return some code that let s you know the status.

EDIT
Sorry, I read your question and realized you want to compare it against a file on the ftp server. I think this is a moot point since if ftp reports a successful file transfer there is no reason to compare (unless your source of comparison for not the ftp site). Does that make sense?
What you could do it use the FTP command ls command.
ftp> ls <filename>
where ftp> is the ftp prompt and not part of the command. This command gives you the file size in bytes. Then you need to use the dos command for the local file. Here is a StackOverflow question (and answer) about that.
Windows command for file size only?
