General :: Copy A File To All Subfolders In A Directory Using A Single Command?
Jul 18, 2010I'd like to copy a file, say widgets/water.txt, to all subfolders in the folder widgets using a single command. So if the folder widgets has 10 subfolders like widgets/blue, widgets/green, etc. I'd like to copy water.txt to all of them with one command.
I tried the commands
Code:
cp water.txt ./*/water.txt
cp water.txt ./*/
However these don't seem to work. The latter gives 'cp: omitting directory' errors.

General :: How To Encrypt A Single File
Sep 14, 2010I need to temporarily store a file containing sensitive data in a public server, in a secure way. I think that encrypting the whole file would be much more secure than creating a passworded .zip encrypted file, because they could be subject of brute force attacks. Attacking a whole file of unknow format is harder, I think. I thought of something like the command:
Code:
$ programidontknow --encrypt mysensitive.file --output-file mumblerumble.file
then the program asks interactively for a password)
$ ls
mysensitive.file mumblerumble.file
So I get one file that may look like junk. I tried to search how to do it with GnuPG. But it seems that GnuPG needs much configuration I dont want to do. I simply want to type the password one time to get the file. It doesnt need to retain any configuration for what I want to do. In similar scenario, I would want to do this on a machine/account that is not mine.

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.....".

Jul 13, 2011I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively

View 7 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Errors Executing Shell Script: "command Not Found" And "no Such File Or Directory"
Jan 14, 2011A colleague gave me a shell script ("dti_motion") which needs to be run from the directory containing all the files it works on. I want to run the same script for several different directories. But I don't want to have to cd into each directory, run the script, wait for it to finish, and then cd to the next directory (there are 52 to do altogether).
So I wanted to write a very simple script that will cd to each directory and perform the script there, before going on to the next one. My colleague's script ("dti_motion") is stored in my home/bin/ and is executable. My home/bin/ is in my path, as verified by echo $path. When run from a directory containing the necessary information, the dti_motion script works perfectly well. I wrote an extremely inelegant script called "dti_motion_do_all" which is also stored in my home/bin/ and executable:
#!/bin/sh
#Get motion information for each subject, using Mark's script, called dti_motion
cd /imaging/cr01/PD_DTI/C_10/12x5
[code]....
I know there will be more elegant ways to write this script with loops, rather than simply using cd, but for the moment, I just want this to run, until I have learnt to use loops properly. how to correct either of those "command not found" or "no such file or directory" errors, given that both the original dti_motion and my dti_motion_do_all script are in my /home/bin/ (which is on my path) and both scripts are executable?

Feb 25, 2010I would like to encrypt and decrypt zip file using OpenSSL keys. I have generated the keys and can encrypt normal text files but if I try to encrypt the zip file, I get error: "Error reading input Data" Following is what I have done.
generate keys:
Code:
openssl genrsa 4096 > private-key.pem
openssl rsa -pubout < private-key.pem
openssl rsa -pubout < private-key.pem > public-key.pem
encrypt the file:
Code:
openssl rsautl -encrypt -pubin -inkey public-key.pem -in test.zip test.zip.encrypted
I must use public/ private key pair (without any password) and I must use OpenSSL. But I can use any algorithm other than RSA (not sure which one to use and how).
OpenSUSE Install :: Encrypt Home Directory To Use It "on The Fly" (ubuntu)?
Dec 22, 2010I am looking for something like Ubuntu does (or claims to do :-) ): encrypt the home folder so that, once done, you can even forget that it ever was encrypted.
I have had a quick look to encfs, and to the KDE "right click menu"; but, when dealing with folders, it seems that they pack them into a single file and then encrypts it (if I have correctly understood).
So, what is the way of encrypting the home folder (and subfolders) as Ubuntu does? (and so that you can completely forget afterwards)

Security :: Encrypt Entire File System - Fedora 11 64bit?
Jul 11, 2009I recently installed Fedora 11 64bit and I am curious about encrypting my entire file system for security purposes. I've been on Google for a while now and I keep finding info on how to encrypt a specific folder or home directories but nothing on the entire file system (or I'm missing something big here). It's hard for me to imagine that it isn't. If so, do I need to encrypt the partition my file system is on before installing it? What software should I use? There seems to be so many, it's difficult to keep them all straight.

Apr 21, 2011Can't log into my XFCE desktop like I normaly do. all the sudden I get notified that my xsession lasted less then 10 secondsLooking at the error I can see this:
Unable to access file /home/username/.iceauthority: No such file or directory
Using failsafe I can start a terminal. From terminal I tried to start X
Code: sudo startx Result: Running on desplay:0
So I tried to run this;
Code: sudo startxfce4 And I get up a graphical desktop.
So this is not a critical situation as I easily can use this method to log on, but as there has been something causing this I would like to be able to resolve this nonetheless. Btw it is not the old chmod trick in play here, cause my .iceauthority file is gone alltogheter.
