We realize the string/(D{minus}5)-brane duality on the action at the classical level between the T{sup 10{minus}D}-compactified heterotic string effective action and the (D{minus}5)-brane effective action in D dimensions by managing a Lagrange multiplier field. In the same way the S duality is also reconstructed as a dual transformation on the T{sup 6}-compactified heterotic string effective action. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
