Ubuntu Servers :: Download Stuff Gui-less To My Server?
Apr 22, 2010
I just installed ubuntu server on a spare pc I have and I plan on hosting forums on it. I don't want to install the gui on it and waste resources as the pc is not all that new. But I don't know how to download things into the pc and store them in folders through the CLI. I just want to know an easy way to at least download webmin into it and I think I can figure out the rest. I know how to install webmin from CLI.

I cannot use any torrent programs because nothing will download. Every figure will sit at '0' indefinitely...forever! I can boot up my Windows XP install and it will start within a few seconds. I am just trying to figure out what's going on. Another problem is that my LXDE desktop doesn't seem to pick up every application I install. It doesn't go in the menu. I tried Torrent but it didn't go in the menu. I would start it via CLI but I'm not sure what to type. I thought there might be a security issue but that's only speculation.
I know that ports are supposed to be set via the router settings but I'm sharing the router. I might go to a relative's home and try to work on the problem there. I can go in the router there. But, I can have nothing set and just start downloading with default settings in Windows so I thought it can't be a ports problem. Unless? I'm at a loss and have no other theories. Debian and other distros want you to download their OS via torrent so to not even have it work.

I know that you can use wget and cron to schedule downloads on a regular basis, I just don't know how. I wanted to download videos from this website:eed/M...?subshow=false but I don't exactly know how.

I'm a absolute "server- noob" but I've got some experienced with desktop linux and want to build my own file server to access my stuff over the internet. I'm using dropbox for a while now like a cloud drive by simply mounting the "private" folder (which I encrypted with encfs/BoxCrypt) in order to cross-platform use important files. The problem is that Dropbox only provides 2 GB for free and I don't know how secure my data is up there. Moreover I don't wanna always sync all files locally.
I got an intel atom machine standing around and so I want to build my own file server to provide the same or at least a similar service.
1. Which type of server application provides a "network drive" that computers (several users) from the internet can access?
2. What's the best way to encrypt my data and transmission in order to make the system absolutely unattackable/unreadable from outside?
3. Is there a service that can provide a dropbox-style sync mechanism?
4. Which distro should I use? I'd prefer a non-desktop enviroment solution but never had anything to do with it. Is that possible for an average linux user?
I'm aware that this solution won't be very fast because of the limited upload of a standard internet connection but that would be ok! It's more that I want to have the possibiltiy to access all my data as a thin-client anywhere, anytime on any machine and still be on the safe side. I know that this is some kind of contradiction but what would be the best compromise? I know some questions may sound stupid but I really never had anything to do with servers at all in the past...

Well I have installed Wine for the propose of running easyphp program which can be found at [URL]... I installed it on my windows machine and like it. I want to run it on this machine because I have it hooked up to my tv and I have a wireless mouse and keyboard so I can program or whatever from the bed. Anyways, I need to remove the stuff I installed though this tread. [URL]... The reason for removing the installed stuff is because I believe it is occupying port 80 which I need open for easyphp. How do I uninstall this stuff I installed?

When we download ubuntu iso images from the download mirrors, md5sums, sha1sums and sha256sums are provided for the download. But, there are also some .gpg files provided. Are they used to verify some signature or something? How do I use them to verify the signatures of the packages?

I have installed 9.10 server on an old machine at home that I want to use purely for managing any software downloads.
I used to use the firefox add on DownThemAll on my ubuntu desktop environment so I am looking for a web based download manager for the server that has similar features (username/password restricted downloads, scheduling, pausing/restarting downloads) as DownThemAll.
I basically want to be able to add a bunch of downloads to a list and the server then downloads them. I need to be able to save a username/password combination for certain sites. I would also like to be able to see progress on the downloads and pause/resume them

I'm using vsftpd on my server. When I connect (using file-zilla) from other computers on the same network I can't download any files. I can upload, create directories, and delete stuff, but I can't download. I've disabled anonymous access and enabled local user log-in. My /etc/vsftpd.conf
Code:
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
#
# The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
# Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults.
[Code]...

Whenever a client tries to download a file from my server via ftp, SAMBA, Teamspeak 3 File Transfer, etc., they report very slow download speeds, around 3-6 kb/s. If I try a ftp file transfer locally, the upload speeds are normal, but I still experience slow download speeds.
My server is connected to a router, which connects to the internet. All other machines connected to that router can upload and download files at normal speeds. It seems to be a server problem, I just don't know where to start.

I have got a question, my fileserver is up and running and is working great but if i want to download something by HTTP using the command wget [url] it does not show up in my server...
I think this is because my server location is : /Home/samba/
How do i change my default download location to /Home/Samba/ so i can see this in my network?

I just set up an ubuntu server with websvn, webdav, etc. Works really nice, but additionally I would like to have an easy interface for sharing some files with firends/collegues via webinterface. I was thinking of something like WebShare form helios or mydrive/etc. with easy access and usercontrol.
I am searching for several hours now and didn't find anything really usefull. Is there any open source tool/apache plugin which can do that?

I've noticed this happening on some servers that I manage. I'll be downloading updates around 300 kb/s - 500 kb/s and then out of nowhere it will drop to about 3 kb/s. It will stay here forever, if I let it. I then have to cancel (Ctrl-C) the updates and restart them. This happens over and over and over until I finally get the full download. Why does this happen?

I was having trouble getting php files to display properly on my ubuntu 10.10 LAMP setup. Everything was installed with defaults and working properly. testphp.php worked as long as it was in the sites parent directory, but any php files in user directories did not work. All browsers tried to download the php files located in /home/user/public_html instead. I tried to use the help documents here, [URL]..
Finally I was browsing around in the /etc/apache2/mods-available directory and looked at the php5.conf file. Here is the relevant information from the file:
Code:
# To re-enable php in user directories comment the following lines
# (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
# prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
# <IfModule mod_userdir.c> #Comment out this line
[Code]...
I tried to edit the help document linked above but it says not to do so! I couldn't find a reference for this fix anywhere else, so I decided to post it here.

I know a guy who has a website setup where he can download files from Megaupload with his premium account without signing in. He takes the MU link's ID, eg: URL... adds it to the end of the URL (URL...) and it downloads using the premium account logged in on the computer he has his site hosted on. We don't get along well and I would rather not ask him how he does it.
How would I set this up on my own computer? I can see this being extremely useful for me if I need to download some of my artwork or projects from MU but I don't want to sign in because I'm on a public computer or something. I already have everything installed on my computer to host a site. I have a simple "Hello World" page running on my webserver right now. I don't need help getting that part set up, just the rest of it.

The original thread was closed because "Sounds as if you are trying to steal a service which you have not paid for. We do not support that kind of activity here on Ubuntu Forums." However, it's not stealing since I am only going to use this with accounts that I have legitimately paid for.This might not be the right place to post this... if that's the case, I apologize - please move it to the correct location.I know a guy who has a website setup where he can download files from Megaupload with his premium account without signing in. He takes the MU link's ID, eg: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=xxxxxxxxand adds it to the end of the URL (http://192.168.1.199/mu/?d=xxxxxxxx) and it downloads using his premium account logged in on the computer he has his site hosted on. We don't get along well and I would rather not ask him how he does it.
How would I set this up on my own computer to use my premium account? I can see this being extremely useful for me if I need to download some of my artwork or projects from MU but I don't want to sign in because I'm on a public computer or something or because the computer has MU blocked. I want this to be a private site that only I have access to since it's my premium account and my money. I am not asking how to circumvent megauploads download limit at all (I've already paid for it... no need to circumvent it).
I just need a nudge in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.I already have everything installed on my computer to host a site. I have a simple "Hello World" page running on my webserver right now. I don't need help getting that part set up, just the rest of it. I assume this has something to do with setting up a proxy server - I just don't know how to do that and make it work like I need it to.

I setup a download directory on my server, and put a test video in it. I tried to run the video in my browser and it only runs part of the video then stops. If I download it and run it on my desktop with mplayer it run the full video. I am not sure why? Here is a link to the video. [URL]. Before I setup more videos I wanted to see if there is an answer to this problem.

I have a debian box running Apache2 and PHP5.2.6 lenny.
When a request is made via https, php displays the content fine. If the request is made over HTTP the file is offered for download, rather than displaying it.
I know its probably something trivial but I've never seen this issue.
The plot thickens, I can display PHP over HTTP in some directories but not others (which offer the file for download)?

I can't seem to update the repository indexes regardless of which official server/mirror I use. I pick one server from the built-in software sources list and then I get this:
W:Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/contrib/source/Sources.gz
Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' [IP: 130.230.54.99 21],
W:Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/non-free/source/Sources.gz
Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' [IP: 130.230.54.99 21],
W:Failed to fetch http: [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 128.30.2.36 80],
W:Failed to fetch http: [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 128.30.2.36 80],
W:Failed to fetch http: [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 128.30.2.36 80],
W:Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/updates/main/source/Sources.gz
Unable to fetch file, server said 'Failed to open file. ' [IP: 130.230.54.99 21],
E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Now how can that be? Shouldn't the built-in repository addresses be correct? My installation is one week old clean install. Since then I've installed broadcom wlan-drivers (I tried repo update w/ wired connection too) and Dropbox but other than that I'm pretty clean.
