I want to move a big file (92gb tar) from a server to a new one
What's the best way to do this? I did try scp username@<xxx.xxx.xxx.101>:</home/xx...les/ani.tar.gz>
Which I found on the web somewhere but it did not work for me
I was wondering if it's possible to move the known_hosts file from ~/.ssh/known_hosts to ~/somewhere/.ssh/known_hosts . I have a server running Plesk and the user home directories do not have write permissions (they do have write permissions within the subfolders, however).
I was able to move the authorized_keys file by editing sshd_config AuthorizedKeysFile , but when I try to log in without password, I'm still prompted every time if I want to add the host to list of known hosts, and it fails to save every time since it cannot write to known_hosts. Thus I am still unable to automate some processes. I'd like known_hosts to be located in the same location as my authorized_keys, which does have correct permissions for users.
I have a directory , there are many files created in it , I want to use the command to move the files which elder than 30 days and gzip it and then move it to /tmp , and then remove those files , I tried use below command but not work.
find ~path -type f -mtime 30 -exec tar -zcvf - {} --remove-files > /tmp/oldfile.tgz ;
I have two servers on my network (at home). Let's call them A and B.
I have a small shell script that I have written on server A that zips up a file, backs up a database. It's triggered by cron once a day.
After I run it, I would like to move this file from server A to server B.
As I said, both are on the same network (in the same room, actually), and so obviously have different network IPs.
What are my options to move these files? It would need to be something that was done in perhaps a shell script that was, like the shell script that zips the files, is triggered by a cron job.
I'm assuming there are actual applications for this sort of theng (rsync?), but can it be done with a shell script? It seems very simple and basic...
How might this be done?
Systems:
Server A - CentOS v. 5
Server B - RHEL v. 4
I have to move files between two file systems /inst and /inst2.When I perform 'cp -a /inst /inst2' it copies everything even hidden files and preserves access permissions.But when I perform 'mv /inst /inst2' it also preserves access perms and moves everything besides hidden files.Questions :hy is so ?What tool to use when moving file systems from one fs to another (rsync) ?

I'm configuring sendmail that runs on Linux Slackware but find some difficulties to do some quick startup due to its complexity and massive documentation. Suppose I want to configure a sendmail that can serve 2 domains:
ethereal1m.no-ip.com
ethereal2m.no-ip.com
I use noip2 client software to connect with noip server that translates the dynamic IP addressed domains, setups POP, and does forwarding. By having 2 domains, I want to able to send email between admin@ethereal1m.no-ip.com and admin@ethereal2m.no.ip.com;therefore, my machine acts as both a server and a client. How can I setup sendmail so that it acts as both server and client? How to register email address and its domain on sendmail?
i have a car stereo that reads a USB drive with all my music on it, however to sort through the music it uses a method of finding folders containing music, then displaying them all in a list. i find this interface annoying because in order to sort the music by artist i have to go and manually move it out of the album folders by hand, this takes a long time for 11+ GB of music so i was trying to use the linux CLI to quicken the process. use a command like this
Code:
mv /media/usb/music/*/*/* /media/usb/music/*/
but for some reason this moves all my music into the last folder alphabetically in my drive, the music is all pre-arranged like this /media/usb/music/artist/album/song
I'm sure I've done this before and am having a brain fart.
I have run into this a couple of time this last month:
I have a list of torrent files (blahblahhexblah.torrent) saved in a text file. I would like to read the text file and populate the client directory.
I can echo the file using:
But I cannot remember how to pipe the output into the directory, nor can I find any resources that describe the process.
Interestingly enough, I've had a couple of opportunities to do similar tasks with passwords and privileges and even across the LAN in the last few days. Solving this problem will help me solve the others for next time.

View 7 Replies View RelatedMany years ago, I converted a portion of my files to an arbitrary format with a specific extension. i no longer desire to have them in this format and i would like begin the process of replacing them because conversion is not an appropriate solution. unfortunately, they are mixed in separate folders of the same root folder with files in my current format of a different extension. I feel it would make this process easier if I were to move every folder that contained a file with the undesired format to a separate root folder. The files are stored on a Linux server and shared via samba. How can I do this with a couple of commands or a script? I am open to other suggestions as well. I want to avoid time spent editing text files. Ultimately, I'd like a command that produced a list of full paths for folders, sorted by the number of levels would be a nice touch. A list of all of the files is clearly not what I'm looking for.

I was wondering if there's any way for a laptop to be both simultaneously connected to a wireless network, while at the same time acting as an ad-hoc network with local access to serve as a wifi connection for my mobile device, which would be ssh-ing into the laptop and using local resources.

I also have two demo websites that I am running and when I go to there url's www.website.com/demosite apache will serve up the index.php
I didn't change anything but the max_upload in the apache2.conf and restarted.
