if connecting to my server for file transfer using gFtp is secure. I told gFtp to connect to the server using SSH2 and it works. It says it uses this command "ssh -e none -l wordpress -p 1883 IPADDRESS -s sftp." Is this more or less secure then using ftpes or ftps? What I thought was weird was that I could shutdown vsftpd and still connect. Does SSH2 SFTP use its own ftp server?

They could login to the server based on their email address and a randomly generated key combination and down load the file.I also need it to preform the same function going the other way. Login into my server and place files going to me.

I have ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook and all my files on my XP desktop. How can I connect the two so that I can transfer files from the XP machine to the Ubuntu netbook? Both have WiFi and ethernet. I am not fluent in windows networking but could manage to join two xp machines using an ethernet cable and naming the two with the same workgroup then setting a folder as shared!

Does gFTP have any prerequisites other than those listed in its README file?I have a situation similar to this thread from a year ago - Using the gftp package distributed with Slack 13.0, I receive a segmentation fault when trying to launch it.strace reported a truckload of "no such file or directory" errors, generally involving locale files, however the presence (or absence) of the glibc-i18n package has no effect.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am going to set up a file server on Ubuntu. I have searched a while, but can't seem to find a guide to what I want. The requirements specifications are the following:File server: possible to upload, change and download files.Linux (Ubuntu) clients, Windows clients if possible.Access restriction to deny access to other than registered users.Only the user should be able to read the content of the files.Ideally root should not be able to see the individual files, but in worst case it is ok for root to see the files.Root should not be able to open the files.Point 1-3 is easy to find out how to set up. But I can't seem to find a way to deny root to view the files. The only solution I can think of is to encrypt files or a whole folder, but I don't know how to set it up.
The setup is for a home network, but the server used as a file server will have a web server as well. If someone manages to get access to the server I don't want them to be able to read the files.
I have 2 computers on the same network that i need to link together to transfer files 1 is a web server the other is a minecraft server. the problem is that the file transfer will be constant as the minecraft server will constantly updates files on the web server and I dont want it to go to the router then to come back to the web server. I want to add a second network card to each computer and link them together and use this second connection to transfer the files is it possible?

Also, in my research it appears that people that have Wireless problems often install the linux-backports to see if this fixes the issue.
I'm having another slight issue. On a clean install of Ubuntu Studio (10.10), I have installed network manager (manually, using .deb packages, one at a time, including all the extra ones it required) and I can only connect to non-secured networks. If I try to connect to our home network (which has WEP security), it sits thinking about it for a while (with the wireless light flashing, indicating it is doing something), but after a while, it asks for the WEP password again. it works fine if I turn the security off

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a secure way to backup files on my Prod Server to Backup Server. It must be automated, so I will need to run a command with cron which will login to Prod Server from Backup Server and backup data. 1. Do you think it would be secure enough to do this by creating an passwordless RSA private key on Backup Server and adding it's public key to authorized_hosts file on Prod Server? I can't think of a way to Automate this without having to enter any passwords without passwordless RSA key. Is there another. more secure way? 2. Should I create a special user for backup, which will only have read access to all files in the directory that I am backing up? If so, How can I run a check that this new backup user indeed has read access to ALL files in the folder that I intent to back up? How can I ensure the backup process will not skip files due to some permission problem? 3. I'm thinking of using rsnapshot tool, which uses rsync.
View 10 Replies View RelatedIn setting up wireless connections I have ran into an array of problems. First, when I installed the new OS on my laptop I had to get the correct drivers and firmware for it to display and connect to any connections, had no problem here connecting to a secure wireless network (WPA or WPA2). I then installed Ubuntu on my desktop and had to find the correct driver for the Netgear WNDA3100v2 USB adapter, got it all installed with the Windows Wireless Drivers tool or w/e it is. This made all the available connections come up. I tried connecting with the WPA password I was given for the network and will not connect.
I had the guy managing the network change the one I connect to, to a WEP Passphrase Shared Key thinking this would solve my issue, still nothing. And also in doing so, now my laptop will not connect to the wireless network using the Passphrase. I do not want to go back to Windows, and I will be getting rid of my Lan connection soon so i need a solution to fix this wireless connection problem.
setting up a basic apache webpage that would allow users to view files and folders on a server and transfer it from one directory to another? I know it doesn't sound very secure but this is an internal server so security is not a big issue as it is pretty secured in its network already. We have users that need to move files from one directory to another and we'd like to give them some intuitive interface to do this rather than having them log in to the linux system and run mv/cp commands. They are not very linux saavy.
PS: The system is running CENTOS 5.4.
Having a bit of a issue with Debian Squeeze and transferring files to the Sony PSP..Hook up PSP to USB port and Debian mounts it..I go to drag a 125 meg mp4 to video folder..Copy windows takes about 10 seconds to transfer it..Exit USB mode and there is no video there. Go back into USB mode and look at video folder on the PSP memory stick and there is no video..It vanished. From another after copy progress closed I right clicked PSP and unmounted it..
It error-ed saying device was busy and could not unmount..Looking at light on PSP i see memory stick is still being written to..i wait for light to stop flashing..About a minute or so..Then am able to unmount it..Go to PSP video and theres the video ready to be watched. Debian isnt accurately showing the copy progress...Its showing complete when it isnt..I have to watch the light on PSP to know when it is truly finished.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to transfer a large .tgz file from a CentOS dedicated server to a linux webhost (unknown OS). The problem is the webhost will not allow a 1.1gb file to be uploaded, however it will allow the upload in 149MB chunks. I used the split command to segment my tgz into 7 segments under 150mb. I then uploaded all segments via FTP which worked. Then I tried to join the segments to create the original tgz. The join appears to work with no issues. However, when I try to extract the tgz it appears there is a problem, most, but not all files are extracted and there is this error message:
Code: gzip: stdin: Input/output error
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now It appears the join did not work and the tgz is slightly corrupt. What am I doing wrong? Here's the commands I'm using:
1. Create the original tgz on the dedicated server
Code: tar -czf mysite.tgz ./myfolder
2. Split the tgz into segments
Code: split -b 149m -d mysite.tgz seg
# using the -d switch so the segment files use a numerical suffix
# I now have these files:
seg00
seg01
seg02
seg03
seg04
seg05
seg06
seg07
3. Transfer segments to the other webhost using FTP
Code: # hand typing (not a script)
ftp ftp.mysite.com
myusername
mypassword
binary
cd somefolder
put seg00
put seg01
put seg02
# through to seg07
4. Join up the segments on the new webhost
Code: # this is in a .sh script file
cd /full/path/to/somefolder
cat seg* > mysite.tgz 5. Extract the new tgz
Code: # this is in a .sh script file
cd /full/path/to/somefolder
tar -xzf mysite.tgz
# the above error is now thrown.
That's it. What am I doing wrong that's causing the above error?
I have two questions. 1- How can I set up FTP server for the first time on the Centos? 2-I want to give the ftp user full root access in the directory of /var/www/html so he would be able to upload or download files and folders without getting "FTP Critical file transfer error". From command prompt how can I give the user test root access in the /var/www/html with all the folders, sub folders and files in one shut?

To an extent that I would like to only allow my work IP to be allowed to even try an login.The bridge to cross here is the fact that I'm connecting from windows.

Network is fine, samba share to the media direction works, until I try to upload a large file to it from my desktop system. Then it downloads a couple of percents at a really nice speed, but then it stalls and the box becomes unpingable (Destination Host Unreachable), even after canceling the transfer, requiring a restart of the network.
Same thing when I scp the file from my desktop system to the htpc, same thing when I ssh into the htpc, and scp the file from there. Occasionally (rarely) the file does pass through, but most of the time the problem repeats itself. Transfer of small text files causes no problems, and the same goes for the fanart downloads done by xbmc. I tried the solution proposed in this thread, and set mtu to 800 in the interfaces file, but the problem persists.
I recently did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and tried using a DLink DWL-G122 dongle for a wireless connection.

I want to connect a laptop running ubuntu 10.04 to a laptop running windows 7 via direct connection in order to transfer files like music, documents, pictures, etc. I have an ethernet cable that I thought I would need in order to do it. Is that even possible?? If so, how would I go about doing that?
Now, I have tried to share the files wirelessly but for some reason when I pick up the workgroup on the ubuntu laptop and enter the password in order to connect to the windows laptop it says my password is wrong, when I know for a fact that it is not. I know I can transfer files with a flash drive and what not but I want to try to get this working.
I have set up a file server (Ubuntu Server Edition) for our lab. People can connect to common Samba file shares from their personal laptops/desktops, which run either Windows Vista or Mac OSX. The guys with OSX have upload/download speeds of ~2 MB/s, while the Vista machines are slogging away at ~200kb/s for downloads and ~400kb/s for uploads. In both cases, the connection are through wired ethernet ports which should function identically. Since the Macs work fine on the same network, I assume this is a Vista issue.
I have tried troubleshooting one of the Vista machines by:
1. Turning off the Remove Differential Compression feature
2. Disabling autotuning following these instructions
3. Adding a registry key following the same link above.
But nothing has improved. Anybody have any advice on addition tweaks to the Vista machine? Is there a chance that this is actually a server-side/samba issue?
