I'm using VSFTP in my ubuntu server and I want FTP to show me only the /var/www directory and its files/sub-directories. How can I do this? This has to do with vsftp.conf?Also I've read is recommended to make a user only for FTP, thus limiting its access to the desired directory. How can I do such thing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to actively make sure some files, in a specific directory, are chmod 750 and owned by transmission:media-daemons. Other users will save to this directory, with other permissions and UID/GID but I must make sureto reinforce this default.
So I have this on my /etc/crontab:
Code:
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,

I have used Awk in the past to isolate the file name from a given path..that is to say, I may have a list of files contained in list.txt.Can someone please post the Awk command that would do this? (I assume it will be very similar in form to the Awk command I showed above.)The point is, sometimes I may want to isolate the second directory, sometimes I may want to isolate the third directory or tenth or whatever - so I am hoping that if someone posts the Awk command to isolate the second level directory (to produce the output I showed in Fig.3) it should be fairly obvious by looking at the form of this command how to alter it and so isolate any other directory I want.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have a Debian Lenny / Samba server sharing files on a LAN with Windows clients. We also have several remote users who login in via WinSCP to do simple file transfers. (A OpenVPN was too slow due to bandwidth issues.)
Is there a way to lock the WinSCP connections to a specific directory?
My first thought was to move the remote users' home directory to the portion of the directory tree shared via Samba:
usermod -d /data/public/ username
but that does not stop them from going up the directory tree.
I want to update all the machines in the network from a central repository which is on my master server and whose archive directory is shared through samba.I searched in the man page of sources.list and found that there is an option for this but can't able to implement this. Can anybody kindly tell me the way to do the same.

Most of the time my wireless works very well, connecting lightning-fast on boot with AC power. However here are two problems that I have noticed to-date: 1. Wireless will not connect if I boot on battery power. It won't connect even if I plug in the AC cable and do a reboot. Only solution is to reset the router (unplug power cable, wait, plug power cable). 2. Wireless will not connect after a Suspend, whether battery power or AC. Again, only solution is to reset the router. Another computer, running Windows XP, do not have connection problems (yes, wireless). It is quite strange, maybe some power management settings are interfering with networking? I have both laptop-mode-tools and pm-utils (re-rolled) installed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to overwrite files in a directory tree, recursively. The ones I would like to overwrite match the filename "x_alpha*.png" and have a size exactly 456 bytes. Is there any way to search for these recursively in a directory tree, and overwrite them with a reference file, for example "e:mydirgood.png"
I am using Windows 7, but I have UnxUtils, so I can use those too. What I am looking for is something like this, generated automatically:
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydiracx_alpha0023.png
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydirefgx_alpha0045.png
copy /y e:mydirgood.png e:mydirhx_alpha0248.png
I have a server with a /data/ directory, everything in the /data/ folder has "-rwxrw-rw- 1 root root" permissions.all works fine, multiple users are mounting this over a lan and everyone is able to modify files. However I would like to be able to access the /data/music/ directory from the internet.
Is it possible to configure sshfs to only accept logins from a user restricted to reading the /data/music directory, or would it be possible to tunnel nfs over ssh in such a way that everyone on the lan 192.168.0.xxx has unrestricted access to the data directory, but something coming from outside only has read access to the music directory. Although is one were tunneling nfs over ssh, the nfs mount request would appear to come from the server itself. The router is at 192.168.0.1 and the server is at 192.168.0.3.This Seems very much like what I want to do, however I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work well with other users mounting with full rights over the lan too.
I'm trying to do something like thisi created a group called www and made this group the owner of the directory/var/www/htmlso i can read and write to it.of course I've add my self to this group, but it seems i can't read and write.the syntax i used was something like chown :www /var/www/html.didn't workonly when i used chown samurai:www /var/www/html i could finally could create new file.the reason i don't want to specify the user name is because I'm thinking of a scenario when i need to give permission to a large group of ppl and don't want to do it user by user.
