Server :: Wget Webpage Secured By Username / Password
Feb 18, 2011
I wish to download a webpage, which is secured by username and password, using WGET. The thing is there are many forms on that page and I dont know how to tell WGET which one should it send (by POST method) the parameters. I have solved it till this so far:
wget --post-data="predmet=xxx" --http-user="yyy" --http-password="zzz" [URL]
It gets through the authentication but it will not submit the form.
I'm trying to figure out how to use wget to save a copy of a page that is frequently updated. Ideally, what I'd like it to do is save a copy of the page every minute or so. I don't need multiple copies; I just need to know what the most recent version was. Also, if the page disappears for whatever reason, I don't want it to save the error page, just wait until the page is up again.
I've looked around the other threads as well as the wget man page. I also Googled for some examples. I still cannot work it out. From the page [URL] I want to download the 48 linked files and their corresponding information page.To do this (the first file) by hand I click on the line that saysApplications (5) Go to the first optionDell - Application Open and copy the linked pageApplies to: Driver Reset Tool Then back on the first page click on the Download button. On the window that opens up I choose to save the file.
Then I move on to the next option (which is Sonic Solutions - Applications) and repeat this until I would have all my files. I do not want to download the many other links on this page. Just the above mentioned, so I can take it back to my internet-less place and refer to it as if I was on the net. I am using the 9.10 LiveCD at my friends place.
I am trying to see whether wget can be used to generate actual url hits on a webpage. This does not look good so far�. I changed the following lines in /etc/wgetrc to:
Code: http_proxy=http : / /<proxy_ip>:<port>/ use_proxy on Output :
2011-01-16 12:26:39 (88,9 KB/s) - `index.html.3' saved [50548] This does NOT generate a hit on the actual web page! It does not seem like the, > /dev/null part is working either... How can I get this to work?
Is it possible to somehow setup an ssh server that doesn't require a username,password or cert to login?I wish to provide shell access to a console program, which will prompt for a username and password.Encryption is essential though, and users must not be able to snoop in on each other
For my project, I'm interested in the Scatterometer Products of Oceansat 2 from an Indian page [URL]
It's no problem for students to get a password to access and download their data for free. Nevertheless it's quite complicated to download the files by hand, since you have to mark every file by hand and click on a download button at the end of the page. When I tried it with my Script (which is below), and an internal server error 500 occured. I hope you're not too busy and could have a look on the script where the cookie and IP are entered manually for trial purposes.
The construction of the page is: The adress, where you have to login: http://218.248.0.134:8080/OCMWebSCAT...controller.jsp The adress, when your're logged in: http://218.248.0.134:8080/OCMWebSCAT...controller.jsp
I'd like to manually mount my nfs share mount -t nfs ipaddress:/nfsshare /mnt/nfsfolder but would like to include a userid and password option via command (not via fstab), since the nfs share has different credentials than the server where I'm mounting to. What's the proper switch to include in this line?
There was a recent thread in this forum regarding capturing of SSH passwords via the use of wireshark. The thread subject was closed, which is a decision that I both agree with as well as agree with the reasoning behind. The thread, however, raised a point of curiosity and concern that I would like to ask about. Quoting from a the book, SSH, The definitive guide,
The client authenticates you to the remote computer's SSH server using an encrypted connection, meaning that your username and password are encrypted before they leave the local machine. The SSH server then logs you in, and your entire login session is encrypted as it travels between client and server. Because the encryption is transparent, you won't notice any differences between telnet and the telnet-like SSH client.
I was under the impression that SSH was impervious to this type of eavesdropping, and quite frankly I take great comfort in that idea. I personally, only allow RSA keys for SSH access and (hopefully) avoid this problem (?) as a result. Does SSH really have a vulnerability in that the authentication is sent via plain text? How to ensure the security of SSH and not on anything that could be considered a how to 'crack' it.
Im reading a lot on how to rync to an ftp server but none of the steps are telling me how to do it on servers that use normal authentication.Example I want to keep /var/www in sync with a folder on an ftp server in a folder called /cdn/.Id like to see all files and folders in sync, not just a compressed file etc
i installed acronis on the server end , the problem is that i have disabled the graphical interface on the server i have a acronis management console on a windows system where the image is being created when i try to connect to the linux server it prompts for username and password after i give the credentials then i get this error
I bought a firefox extension which support proxy with username and password, but seems only http version and not socks 5 server which I already have installed on server. I know for privoxy, but privoxy don't support username/password. Is there anything else what works with username/password? Also what is different between http and socks5?
I started a new job and they use LDAP here. I built a new RHEL 5.5 server and configured LDAP. Usernames are recognized but the password is not. I can chown a file to a user name but when I try to login as the user it won't accept the password.I know the password is correct because I can login to any of the old boxes and it accepts the password. I ran authconfig-tui to tell my RHEL box to authenticate to ldap.
The homes is suppose to let each user see his/her own home directory. But I tested at the windows side, I found that windows doesn't even prompt me about username or password, it just directly give me "not accessible" error. How do I config so my windows side at least prompt me about username/password?
i am trying to write a telnet server without username/password function. how to implement such function? the source code from inetutils seems complicated..
I have set it up, but I'm not sure whether the admin username and password are set correctly. How do I confirm? Also, if someone has any links explaining the format of an LDIF file.
Ok I am new to all this, I did have a server years ago but have forgotten most of what I learned. My problem is getting ftp to connect to the server. I have centos and it has proftpd but I'm lost when it comes to the conf file. I created a user in plesk but when I try to connect with any ftp software it accepts the username but rejects any password. I have tried a million combinations but I just can't get my head around this. I have used it before many years ago and managed ok but that was using webmin. I feel I've bitten off more than I can chew with this server although I have managed everything else
Iam using centos5.i had installed qmail as MTA.when iam login through squirrel mail it gives login error invalid username or password.And then i tried with domain.
I was trying to download MOPSLinux from their Russian FTP server, using Firefox-->FlashGot-->KDE-Kget and it kept sitting there for about a minute, then popping up a dialog box asking for a Username & Password to access the FTP site.
I tried the usual anonymous type of login information combinations, to no avail; the box kept reappearing.
Finally for the heck of it, I tried Firefox-->FlashGot-->Wget and presto! It began downloading right away, no questions asked.
This is on Slack64 with the stock KDE installation + the KDE3 compat libs.
Here's the transfer currently going on the Wget window:

brand new 2 Ubantu & set up standard Ubantu compartment accessed via 1 user name only and password. 1st few times all good but now suddenly, unexpectedly password declared invalid. Had written down password so it is correct & not entry error. Not know how to reset password or bypass 'username/password log on screen' Am on an Acer 5542G with windows 7 home premium.
I recently installed vsftpd on my server. I noticed that users on the machine can login into vsftpd with their username and password on the machine and go to their root dir "/home/username".Now, I want to give some people a vsftpd username and password so they can upload and download files and folders to their folder, but this folder has to be in the "/var/www/(username)" folder. I don't want them to be able to go to any other folder than their own folder like "/var", "/etc" or "/home" etc. Also I don't want them to be able to login on the machine as a user, through putty for example. They should only be allowed to acces their folder with vsftpd, nothing else.
I'm new to networks and servers, been using Linux on the desktop for a while now but always relied on the company's IT guy for setting up everyting LAN-based.
Now I want to build up my home LAN, and want to do it with Linux. I've managed to set up LAMP and file share servers.
What I am looking for is information on what I need, and how to set up a server for the following tasks:Centralized Username and Password, that when the user logs into any one of the desktops in the LAN, it uses this for authentication
Something that allows this authentication to be utilized in other servers (file access, web access, router logging, etc.). Something to make it easier for continuing permissions from one service to another. e.g. I have IPCop filtering content, and it has provisions for tracking who is making which request if there is authentication going on. (optionally) to run a script for mounting Samba shares or mapped network drives so from one system to the next. For example, in whatever box somebody logs in, it mounts a server share ("smb://Myserver/users/<username>") to a local folder ("my_user_share").
So;user "fred" ="smb://Myserver/users/fred" and user "wilma" = "smb://Myserver/users/wilma" but both would find their respective one mounted under "~/my_user_share". This would be irrespective of which box they are loggin in with. If the server share location changes (new server/servername), I change it on the server so the next time they log in it points to the right place.
I guess it is similar to Window's Active Directory, though I'm not sure what it's called, how to configure it and what it is and is not capable of doing.
Consider this stanza for a directory on my Apache server:
<Directory "/var/www/html/mine/wedding"> Options FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthType Basic AuthUserFile "/etc/httpd/htpasswd_file" Require user username </Directory>
how to configure an Ubuntu 10.10 server with a secured wireless network? I installed everything while it was wired, but I need to get it wireless. I downloaded the desktop to see if it could help me in configuring the wireless network, but it didn't help. how to configure wireless internet on an Ubuntu 10.10 Server in the terminal, which is preferred, or in the desktop.
When I type the command iwconfig, it shows eth1 being me wireless device. When I try and edit it, nothing changes! I don't know what I need to change other than the ESSID and the WEP key. I'm assuming I need to change the access point too, but it doesn't let me. Is there any specific order they must be changed in?
I wasn't sure if this is the right place to ask or comment on this, but since it's about Apache web server I thought it should work. I finally figured out how to set up and bring up the site using virtual hosts in Apache, though at the moment it's just for my localhost install.
I set them up so I can have a place to play with possible new themes and/or test out the Drupal 7 alpha / beta releases without messing up my current configuration. I decided to look at the error logs for the currently configured site and it had a lot of messages similar to the following:
[Sat Mar 06 09:45:39 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ModSecurity: Unable to retrieve collection (name "ip", key "127.0.0.1"). Use SecDataDir to define data directory first. [hostname "site.local"] [uri "/"] [unique_id "ZnUHgsCoAAEAABdzR2QAAAAB"]
