Ubuntu :: FTP From Home Computer To Remote Servers Slow
Jan 11, 2010
FTP from and from my home computers to 2 remote servers has become really slow over the past month. One of the remote servers I manage and the other one is taken care of by a hosting company, so I am thinking the problem is residing on my end. It doesn't matter if I am downloading 1 file or 10 files, they are all coming in at 9 kb/s which is really slow cause I have a 7 megabit connection. I've tried using multiple computers and still have the same problem. I am using proftp for the ftp server and filezilla for the client.

If I wanted to SSH into my server from a remote destination, it seems I would have to take the following steps.
1) In lieu of getting a static IP from my ISP, sign up with Dynamic DNS and use it instead.
2) My home server is not at the gateway. So I would have to forward port 22 (at the router) to my server's LAN static address.
3) Access my server via SSH remotely by going to \xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22 where the "x's" stand for the static IP address given to me by DynDNS.
Does this sound correct? If not, I'm not asking for hand holding, but a point towards a tutorial or how-to would be helpful.
Edit: Or... am I going to have to set up a VPN to SSH into the server?

In my desire to learn, mess around and set up something useful on my home network, I'm looking for something that can do centralized login and remote home directories. When someone in my family logs in to a computer, windows or linux based, I want them to be able to use their credentials, then have their remote drive mounted and ready for use. I've looked over ldap solutions, attempted to set up an OpenLDAP server and realized I have no idea what was going on. Is an ldap implementation the proper way to go for my desired solution or am I barking up the wrong tree? I've just now set up OpenDS on a VM for testing but I need to do some research there.

I want to try and set up a old cheap computer with ubuntu and run it as a home server to toy around with. how to get started? (Where to get an old computer? Craigslist? What specs should I be looking out for? Wireless vs. ethernet? What software to use? ssh?)

I need to specify a different path to home directories on a particular server than what LDAP contains for the users, besides using a symlink. E.g. "/Users/jdoe" vs "/home/jdoe" I don't want to change the actual LDAP attributes, just want a particular server to point them in the right direction (Ubuntu 10.04).
I'm assuming it's something I could probably set in pam configurations?

I have my desktop at home installed with Ubuntu 11.04. I set up remote desktop through the native remote desktop server program. I can connect to the server from my remote Ubuntu 10.10 laptop, and it works*. The problem is, it is painfully slow -> lags at least 5 seconds for every input.

I got an old PC I am using as a game server (Counter Strike and Left 4 Dead), it's a dual core Athlon 5000+ with 2GB Ram, the motherboard is kinda old and has a SiS Chipset with terrible graphics causing the video to flicker at somewhat high resolutions (anything above 1280x1024 will cause problems).I decided to add a Geforce 8400GS just so I don't have to deal with that terrible onboard VGA, upon installing the card I noticed the VNC is unusable, awfully slow over a 1gbps lan. I have installed the kmod drivers and it hasn't changed anything

My server is connected to the Internet for ssh on port 22 with root logon disabled, a single non-dictionary word user name allowed, and pki authentication only (about as secure as I can make it). I've previously run fc5 and 9 servers using the same sshd config since 2006 and had no security troubles, so I'm happy, but.. After the fc13 install and configuration, logins from a host on a remote network are taking about 1m 30s to complete! A (partial) console output for ssh -vv appears below. The lines marked with "**" were the lines after which significant pauses happen. This is fully repeatable.
Code:
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: Offering public key:
debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply
[code]....

I hope I am not repeating a thread. I am trying something very simple: To remotely connect from a ubuntu desktop to another ubuntu server (physically not reachable). When I ping the server, it seems to be fine. However, when I try to ssh, the connection is closed by the host. I am the only one using the server. It worked fine a few hours ago and I was trying to copy a lot of data using a couple of scp sessions. At some point the connection was closed and I cannot access the server anymore.

As for what I am trying to do: I am looking for a way to run scripts and/or launch programs from a cell phone using SMS. I've found a few options close to this, but nothing that really fits what I'm trying to do. It seems I can either get speed or ease of use, but not both. To explain:
If I understand correctly, Evolution has this functionality through email, but email isn't instant. I'm trying, as best as I can, to use my phone almost like a remote; sending email from my phone would create a considerable wait time.
Using Pidgin's Buddy Pounce feature with AIM lets me use SMS to get a quick response, but I'm running into the problem that I can't make its action depend on what the message says. I want to be able to text, say, "Shutdown", and have my computer run a shutdown command, but Pidgin's Buddy Pounce feature doesn't seem to support checking for specific messages. I've been unable to find a plugin that changes this; if there was, it'd probably be my best bet.
Bluetooth is out; my computer's bluetooth adapter died a long time ago. Additionally, some of the things I'd like to do would be when I'm not near the computer, so even if it was functional, it would be limiting.
Anything that requires any apps for android, iPhone, or w/e are out too. I have an LG Dare, and while it's a nice phone, you can basically forget custom apps.
So, to recap, I'm trying to find some way of sending an SMS or email from my phone, have it be received as quickly as possible, and have the computer run a console command based on the content of the SMS/email. Any ideas?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.

My home network consists of two computers that share one internet connection via a router. I have a desktop computer that runs Ubuntu (Karmic), connected via ethernet; and a netbook that runs Windows 7 (will be Ubuntu, eventually), which connects wirelessly. Both computers have multiple user accounts. What I would like to do is access my account on the Ubuntu desktop via the netbook while my wife is using the desktop with her account (or enable her to access her account on the desktop while I am using it). I looked into VNC, but it, apparently, only supports the active desktop. So, if someone connected to the computer while it was in use, they would be looking at the other user's desktop. Is this a misconception on my part?
So, I have 3 questions:
-From the netbook, how can I log into my account on the desktop and just get a command-line shell?
- From the netbook, how can I log into my account on the desktop and actually have access to my Gnome desktop?
- If I leave my house with the netbook, and want to log into my desktop machine across the internet (CLI and/or Gnome), how can I do that?

I want to use one computer to control Banshee on another computer in the room. without using remote desktop. That's not going too well for me (it works, but it's slow and clunky over my network).

I have an Ubuntu 10.10 running on a pc at work. On my Windows pc I can use a free utility called Teamviewer which you run on the pc (no install needed) and then you connect without any need to VPN into my work network.
So, what would be the best way to connect from home and remotely connect to my Ubuntu system at work?

I've been used to using RDP on Windows to remote to machines, and I've got an asus eee 701 which I want to use to do some *nix programming on. While the eee is a lovely little machine the screen and keyboard are a little small to use for lots of programming. I've tried using Xming (the free version) to remote login into the eee from my desktop using XDMCP (or even using a ssh session as a straight X11 server and no desktop on the eee) the whole thing seems seriously slow over wifi the initial desktop takes at least 5 seconds to paint (might even be 10 seconds I haven't actually timed it). So my real question is what do other folks use for remote control with a GUI for their *nix boxes? I am finding it hard to believe the performance is so bad over a wifi network (It makes the Mac IIs I used to use a college in 1988 seem fast) or is this just a problem with Xming and using say the Cygwin X11 server would be better.

I have 2 computers connected to my linksys router via ethernet cables.
My main computer is running Ubuntu while the other is Xubuntu.
When both comps are on, the internet works fine, but when my second computer is off, my main computer has super slow internet. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes and I get "This webpage is not available", and then I refresh that and it finally loads.
Why does it work when both comps are on? What could cause this?

I want to show you this scheme:MyPC -> router -> internet <- router <- Mom'spc I want to connect from my pc to my mom's pc using ssh. The first router doesn't represent a problem, but my mom's router does. Our IPs are both dynamic (anyway, I can easyly know them) and I have opened the port (TCP/UDP) 2100 on the router in order to open a gateway on mom's pc.The firewall is not enabled on the router, nor on mom's pc.
Granted all this, now I should be able to connect to that computer using ssh:ssh user@ip -p 2100 But I can't, I always get a "connection refused".if I do it on my intranet, I can connect without any problem (to others computers, of course, not mom's) What's the reason because I always get a connection refused?

I have a small netbook that I would like to use as a terminal for my main computer, so instead of opening Gnome-terminal on my computer it will run from my netbook.
what i want to know is how to ssh from my netbook into my main computer and run an application on that computer.
So i would like to be able to ssh into my computer, and when i type "vlc movie.avi" it will open and run on the REMOTE computer just as if i had opened gnome-terminal and typed the command there.
Note: I'm not looking for something/anything like "ssh -X" or VNC or Remote Desktop.

I'd like to set up remote desktop which I can access from any computer with a VNC client, without knowing the IP address in advance and without having access to the "server" at the time of access. I'm aware of the security risks, but there's nothing critical on the server computer, and I'll make sure I use a good password, so I'd still like to go ahead. Is this possible?

I forgot to run a GUI process on a remote computer. I need to run the application as if I was at the computer i.e the application needs to open on the desktop on the remote computer.
I can connect to the computer through an ssh tunnel via another computer at the remote site and run non GUI based processes using Screen or bring some GUI programs to the computer I'm working from using the ssh -X option, however, this is not what I'm looking to do.
On Windows I used to use a program from sysinterns called PsExec which would let me start applications such as Word on the remote computer and I'm hoping that there is something similar on Linux.

I need to be able to login to my brother's comp, which is in another place quite far away from mine, and help him install some softwares and get some settings done for him, as he's more a newbie than me, but has been only able to install ubuntu successfully. He has a broadband connection and I have one too. I have used ssh over Lan and have been successful in this regard. From my understanding of the manual page, i don't think I can use ssh over two different networks. Which similar command/package will work for me if I want to login to his comp and execute commands as easily as I can do using ssh for two computers on the same network.

I have one headless squeeze and two notebooks (one squeeze, one lenny).
When I have X (on headless squeeze) on lenny notebook, it is unacceptably slow. Something like it takes 3-10 seconds to redraw window (acroread, iceweasel, possibly xterm.)
It is not so slow when I use squeeze notebook. Yesterday, I upgraded lenny one to squeeze. Then, it is not slow any more!

My friends computer is extremely slow with all versions of kubuntu. Its very slow to boot, very slow to load applicatons, very slow to switch between windows, very slow to do anything. I can't think of what would be causing the slowness, its not new, doesn't have any fancy hardware AFAIK, but it runs XP perfectly well, its probably a 2.0+ghz pentium 4 processor. Do you think it could be a kernel chipset issue? Or perhaps a graphics driver/window manager issue? I don't know what the hardware is, is there a command I can run to list all the hardware?
