Programming :: Ajax To Open An Ftp Connection - Download A File And Then Turn Around And POST It To A Web Server?
Jun 23, 2011just curious, this might not be possible, but is there any way with ajax to open an ftp connection, download a file and then turn around and POST it to a web server? the reason i ask is because i'm writing a script on a shared hosting plan that doesn't give me permission to directly talk outbound on the ftp port but i need to synchronize a file from a csv on an ftp server, this means i have to do the process manually, is there any way i can just click the button and let my browser do the work?
View 4 Replies View RelatedNetworking :: Turn An SSH Server Into A Proxy?
Feb 7, 2010I have access to a server via ssh. I'm allowed to install things in my userspace. Furthermore, I'm allowed to use the bandwidth. I paid for access to this server, so they're pretty much ok with me doing things with my space. They told me not to store over 20 GBs of data, and I've kept to that rule.
Basically, I want to be able to turn it into a proxy. So, in a way, I want to redirect all of my traffic to that server. If I have a request, it goes to the server, and any replies come directly to my box.
So, this would be a proxy, right? I only have SSH access, I think. Maybe I have some other forms of access, but I can't remember.
How would I go about doing this?
Here's what I have in mind:
(my box) ----request---> (the server) ---> {internet}
(my box) <----reply/incomingdata---- (the server) <---- {internet}

Jun 23, 2010I am wondering if anyone has figured out how to turn off the file locking in openoffice 3.2. I have been searching the net for solutions, trying out the fixes, and as of right now I have not been able to find a way to stop the creation of lock files.
I have tried editing both /usr/bin/soffice and /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice as described in the links (below), but this has not helped.
Here are the relevant links I have found

According to this thread, the method I tried (setting SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0) was based on earlier versions of openoffice.org It no longer works because as of openoffice.org 3 the file locking is built into the program.

General :: Turn A .tar File Into A .tar.gz?
Mar 12, 2010This has probably been asked before and if it has, I'm sorry, I just don't have time to search for it right now. I have a bunch of times that are in .tar format, and need to be made into .tar.gz. How do I do that? I really don't want to go through and manually compress each and every one, because there's a lot of them!

Jan 15, 2010I have tried to write my files to 2 (2GB each) USB sticks and both turned into a Read-Only-File-System. Then I tried with my Memory Stick Duo and it also turned into that. So I give my last try with my SanDisk HC Memory Card (from photo camera) and resulted the same. I can copy the files of those portable storages into my HDD fine but not write into them or delete any files inside those portable storages.

Apr 3, 2011I set up a ubuntu server 10.04 lts as file server in a network filled with xp, win 2003 and win 2008.
I noticed that if from any bill's SO machine i copy a file (for example a vob file of 1gb, or a lot of doc and pdf files) in the samba server, while the copy is in progress if in another windows I browse other folders shared in Samba, the copy process stops and say ' the name in the network is no more available( or something like this). It seems that samba pay attention on the fact that a user is browsing the share and doing so it seems that Samba forget that in one of its share there was a copy in progress, very annoing. A file server cannot do that, in this way is useless.

View 8 Replies View RelatedNetworking :: Pug Server File Server No Longer Shares Drive To Windows?
Nov 19, 2009My Pug Server has worked faithfully for many years just sitting in a closet. It is designed wo that you never need to add a monitor or keyboard as it is administered through a web interface. Recently it had a problem with the motherboard and I had to replace it, but the machine is now working. However, it no longer is visible as a network drive on my Windows machine.Unfortunately I have no idea where to start looking to see what the problem is. I did attach a keyboard and monitor and logged on, but everything looks okay (I can see my files, etc.).
This is an old machine (c. 2003), so has an old version of Linux (I have no idea what version, or even how to find out). Since it is never meant to be used directly it doesn't have any GUI installed, so I have to do everything using command line.Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can even start to determine what the problem is or how I can go about trying to fix it? At this point I would be happy just to get the files out and replace it with a newer NAS.

View 3 Replies View RelatedServer :: Possible To Turn Off Modsec2 In A Particular Folder?
Mar 3, 2010I have a dedicated server that I manage with WHM/cPanel and I'm having problems with modsec2.The form in question exists in a folder that is protected by http authentication -- one must authenticate via apache before viewing any of the folder's contents (you know, the whole .htaccess thing).I am wondering a few things:
1) Is it potentially unsafe to turn off modsec2 in this particular folder? I'm thinking that the need to auth via apache will keep out any folks who don't know the password, but want to be sure that there isn't some way to circumvent the apache auth.
2) if I want to disable modsec2 for this particular folder, is it sufficient/acceptable/correct/effective to put this code in the .htaccess file.

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Turn Laptop's Wireless On
May 5, 2010I installed Kubuntu 10.04 on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv5-1010) and the networking was working fine for the most part, but then not sure what happened, the screen just kinda went blank so I restarted the laptop, and now the wireless won't turn on. There's a button on the laptop to turn it on and off, but I can't seem to get that to function in Linux. I'm assuming it's just a simple matter of getting the wireless to switch back on again, unfortunately I can't figure out how to do that .
Edit: I've tried to whole booting into windows and turning the wireless on there, and before that's worked, but it doesn't seem to be working this time around.

Aug 4, 2010Ubuntu 10.4 LTS as a Live CD (intend to dual boot later, testing for now.) Laptop : Acer Aspire 5251-1513 Wireless card: Atheros AR928X PCI-Express
To turn this on in Windows, I have to do Fn F3. But it does not work in Ubuntu. Most of the other Fn keys work, sound, screen, brightness. Found some relative info, but nothing that might be certain
Now, I know there are some issues with that Artheros card, but I think i need to first get it activated.
