Got a guy here who has programs on his Windows desktop that he wants to transfer to his Linux account via the command line. I've not seen that done before but is that possible?
Thanks,
James

On the whole, not possible...

That's what I kind of thought. I'd never seen anyone do it. Thanks.

If it is just an executable then no. If you have the source code for it, there is a chance you can recompile on Linux, but there is a lot of luck/work that is needed for that to be a possibility.
