General :: Create Link To Executable In Parent Directory
Jun 27, 2011Create the following directories: parent/child
Navigate to child and create a file named child (this is an executable file in my case, not sure if that makes a difference). I need to create two "link to executable" links in the parent.
I had assumed that this would work:
ln -sf ./child ../child1
ln -sf ./child ../child2
But that creates a "link to folder" (./child) in the parent directory. If I change it to:
ln -sf -t.. ./child child1
ln -sf -t.. ./child child2
I get an error, "ln: '../child': cannot overwrite directory".
If I do it from the parent directory (which I cannot do, this is part of a Makefile recipe):
ln -sf ./child/child ./child1
ln -sf ./child/child ./child2
It works. Note that I cannot alter the names of any directories or files. How do I create the links when the current directory is the child?
General :: Create A File In The Current Directory Named '5' With The Number '2'?
Aug 24, 2010Code:
$ echo 2 * 3 > 5 is a valid inequality. This will create a file in the current directory named '5' with the number '2' in it, the names of all the files in the current directory, followed by the number '3' and 'is a valid inequality.'
What I do not understand is why 'is a valid inequality' gets written to this file. I thought it would write '2', all the file names in the current directory, then '3' into the file called '5'. Why does the 'is a valid inequality.' get written to the file also?
General :: Use Mkdir Command To Create 'local' Directory In /usr - There Are Error - Cannot Make Directory
Jun 16, 2010I am a student studying computer science course.
Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.
I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).
I am required to use the /usr/local directory.
In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".
Look at my screenshot at [url].
General :: Delete The Parent Directory With Rm -rf?
May 15, 2011I have a FAT32 SD card with a file on it, that, viewed in Windows the filename consists of a long string of nonsense. Viewed in my Android phone's Linux terminal, ls -a shows nothing in the directory. When I try to delete the parent directory with rm -rf deleteme, it fails with "Directory not empty". When I try to delete/move in Windows 7, it says the filename would be too long and/or Explorer crashes. Windows disk check doesn't find anything wrong. How can I delete this?

General :: Make New File Permission Inherit From The Parent Directory?
Jun 12, 2010I have a directory called data. Then I am running a script under the user id 'robot'. robot writes to the data directory and update files inside. The idea is data is open for both me and robot to update.
So I setup the permission and owner group like this
drwxrwxr-x 2 me robot-grp 4096 Jun 11 20:50 data
where both me and robot belongs to the 'robot-grp'. I change the permission and the owner group recursively like the parent directory.
I regularly upload new files into the data directory using rsync. Unfortunately, new files uploaded does not inherit the parent directory's permission as I hope. Instead it looks like this
-rw-r--r-- 1 me users 6 Jun 11 20:50 new-file.txt
When robot tries to update new-file.txt, it fails due to lack of file permission.
I'm not sure if setting umask helps. In anycase the new files does not really follow it.
$ umask -S
u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx
I'm often confounded by Unix file permission. Do I even have a right plan? I'm using Debian lenny.

Mar 1, 2010I've found several posts discussing how to do this in with the terminal, but none exactly fit what I am trying to do. And since I'm still very new, I was hoping for some help.
I have a parent directory called "Music." The subdirectories all start with "artist", some go further as in "artist/album/cd1". So right now the structure varies in the following ways code...
How can I move all the files (or the file types that I choose) to the parent directory "music"?

Ubuntu Servers :: How To Refuse Accessing Parent Directory In FTP Client Program
Feb 18, 2010I am runnung ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition as a server. I am using a FTP client program to upload some files(index.html, background.png, etc) and everything is fine with that. And currently all my files are in /home/myname/ folder. What I want is whenever I log in with my ubuntu account in the FTP client program, I can actually see the list or contents of the very root directory.
In other word, I can see every folder like /bin, /boot, /etc, /root, so on in the FTP software and I can download it. I don't want to allow to access the parent(or root) directory. Is there any possible way to set up the sutff?
Programming :: Shell Script To Automatically Delete Files With The Same Name As The Parent Directory?
Mar 18, 2010I am facing a problem in Windows due to a virus called Newfolder.exe which creats files with the same name as it's parent directory and an extension .exe and this happens for every directory in the entire hierarchy in the infected pen drive. The antivirus detects them, but is sucking slow. So I thought this is a good opportunity to use the concepts of the all mighty shell script to remove those as they follow the same pattern. Say my complete path is
Code:
/home/pkd/fol1/
The virus would have created an file with complete paths
Quote:
/home/pkd/fol1.exe
If fol1 has two more directories fol11 and fol12 Then there would be two more .exe(virus created) in the following path
Quote:
/home/pkd/fol11/fol11.exe
/home/pkd/fol12/fol12.exe
Ubuntu Networking :: Root Level Parent Directory - Mounting Windows Share?
Mar 26, 2010I've mucked through and figured out how to mount a windows share. I can access the folders I was looking for, but the windows share was not what I thought it would be. I was looking for the specific shared folder. Instead I got a root level parent directory that included the folder I wanted, and a couple others.
smbclient -L <ipaddress> gives me a parent directory on the root
First question: Can I mount a specific folder within a share?
Second question: Could somebody define share? I thought it was the specific shared folder, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

General :: Create An SSH User Which Can Access Only Certain Directory ?
Jun 18, 2011I have a Virtual Private Server which I can connect to using SSH with my root account, being able to execute any linux command and access all the disk area, obviously.
I would like to create another user account, which would be able to access this server using SSH too, but only to a certain directory, for example /var/www/example.com/
For example, imagine this user has a HUGE error.log file (500 MB) located in /var/www/example.com/logs/error.log
When accessing this file using FTP, this user needs to download 500 MB to view the last lines of the log, but I'd like him to be able to execute something like this:
Therefore I need him to be able to access the server using SSH, but I don't want to grant him access to all server areas.
