I am using FTP to read a file. Before the transfer I need to check the size of file.
I found the keyword to check the size of file in C. But I want to know how to use it.
ftp command to check the size is --> SIZE
ftpXfer(IPaddr, FtpUser, FtpPass,
"", "SIZE %??", RootDir, FileName,
&ctrlSock, &dataSock);
fileSize read
read(dataSock, ??, ??);
script that will check if my log file is a certain size? EX: I want to limit the size of my rsync log to say 5MB, if that's true I would move it and create a new one.

I'm researching about symbolic links been used with samba / CIFS:I'd like that the user that uses a MS-Windows OS could see my shared folder on CentOS 5 and the symbolic links that are inside this folder. Well, it works but, the user will see that the size of the file is bigger than the real file. Apparently, CIFS gets the size of the symbolic link (aproxim.32K) and add it to the size of the file.Example 1: 100KB file, used with shared folder, MS-Windows's user will see 100KBExample 2: 100KB file, used with symbolic link inside a shared folder, MS-Windows's user will see 132KB. (Sym link + size of file)Is there a way to allow the user only see the size of the file, and not the file + symbolic links ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was going to back up some files to a DVD so I loaded a new blank in the drive and waited for it to come ready. I decided that now was a good time to fill up my drink and left the computer for a while. When I got back about 30 minutes later, I noticed that the drive was still cycling and had not become ready. I finally got the process killed and tried another blank, which worked. Then I went on about my business.
The next day, the machine hung up on boot with Dmesg saying that it was starting the syslog daemon, but that was as far as it would go till it dropped to the maintenance shell after a few minutes. Multiple boots always did the same thing.
After considerable troubleshooting, I noticed that the syslog file was at the maximum size - about 2.5 gig I think - and was full of DVD drive errors. Deleting the file fixed the problem.
Just to test, I built a phony syslog file to the maximum size and installed it in /var/log. Bang - same problem.
So... It appears that the system logger doesn't test for max size overflow either during runtime or during boot. Interestingly, I googled up one hit for the same problem from a couple of years ago, also on Debian, but nothing in the debian.org problem lists.
Is there any other way to check the overall size of the hard disk other than just fdisk -l? This is because the cloud server that my company has purchased is supposed to have 50GB of hard disk size,It shows that it has two SCSI drives, only both summing up to 50GBs. So what is the second SCSI drive, and why is it divided that way? dev/sda and dev/sdb???
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am curious if perhaps I am doing something wrong extracting pages from a pdf doc using pdftk and creating a new file. I am only extracting the odd pages from the file and outputting them to a new file that is now only 20 pages instead of the input's 40 pages, yet the new output file is still 1.4Mb in size, the same as the original.
It seems strange to extract only half the pages of a large document and end up with a result that is the same size. how to streamline the resulting pdf's using pdftk?
BTW this is the command I am using, in case perhaps I am missing an option to optimize file size or something:
Code:
pdftk A=ch15.pdf cat A1-40odd output odd.pdf
I was just testing specifying limit on file size to a user and have added the following to /etc/security/limits.conf bob soft fsize 100 This basically should have said not to allow bob to create anyfile greater than 100Kb in size.
But the interesting thing is, if bob already has any file which is greater than 100Kb in size, it even doesn't allow to log him into the system both from console and SSH. Also nothing is logged in logs.. How do I configure it so that, bob can login to the system even though he has any file greater than 100Kb (but doesn't allow him to create file which are greater than 100Kb) ??
How can I check and set who can view or open a given folder or file?

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy partitioning layout was as follows
Vista Recovery
Windows 7
GRUB
Extended
-->Fedora 12 (ext4)
so, I shrunk my recovery in Windows 7 successfully, and booted into my Fedora 12 live cd to run Gparted, and move the partitions so that the free space could go towards fedora, I did such, and then I couldn't expand the partition to my dismay. Next, I woke up this morning, tried to boot to fedora to run SSH, grub loaded, but when I tried to boot fedora, I got the "File system check failed" error, and when I tried 7, it just went to a blank screen with a single "_" in the top left-hand corner.
I want to be able to check the contents of a text file for a specific string and remove it from the file from the command prompt. I would basically be searching through a number of files and if a specific string is found I would like it removed automatically. pretty much a find and replace, were the replace is nothing. any one got any ideas on how you would do this. I already have the search part sorted just need to be able to remove the string I don't want from the multiple files.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using DD to backup entire system partitions and now I am trying to restore one. The resulting disk image from my buggy process has zero bytes. D'oh.It apparently thinks the image was trailing garbage and ignores it. It deletes the original file and replaces it with a zero byte .dd file. I have the original copy of the image in a dd.gz file. It's 6.3 GB so it may still contain the data.How do I get the original image back without destroying it again?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi am writing a script for my ubuntu server and basically i want it to download a file that i specifically type in then take that file put it in a certain folder (note file may or may not be archived so i'd have to check for that) then add the name of that file to a text file.i know sounds strange but this is what i got so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "-----Star of Script-----"
echo "Please enter URL:"
read URL
cd testdir
wget $URL
//extraction here + delete original archive (rar,zip,anything :S)
echo name_of_file >> list.txt

View 2 Replies View RelatedAt some point my wine install died. I haven't used it a lot and I update my Fedora 11 regularly so I'm not sure what made it break. I thought "ok, just see if there's an updated version". 'yum info wine' says there is an update version and the file is 27k in size. Tried installing and no joy. Tried erasing wine and then installing; no joy. Yum says that the X86-64 and the i686 version are both 27k in size. I know for sure that is wrong. On a semi-nonFedora note, I tried compiling my own version of wine. It compiled fine after installing some dependencies and '-devel' files, but it gets the same crash as the Fedora version was getting.

After screwing up an update to Ubuntu 11.04 I decided to do a clean install. I tried downloading the AMD64 DVD image of 11.04 but I have found that some of the files cannot be downloaded and appear to have bad file size. In several mirrors and repositories I found the image size to be only 46.1 MB! (Yes, thats "Mega"-bytes, not Giga-bytes. I ftp'd to the repositories/mirror sites and confirmed this.) Yet in many of the HTTP pages it shows as 4.0 GB.I can't believe that the true size is 46.1 MB as the i386 DVD image is over 3 GB. 4.0 GB sound right, but doesn't match the actual file size. So, how long until it gets updated?
