I want to protect one of the folders in my VPS which is running under Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS I've tried doing this using .htaccess and I am being prompted for a user name and a password but when i enter the user name and the password I get the same window again but I am sure that I am entering the correct information. this is the .htaccess file code...
this file is located in the same folder that I want to protect. code...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a folder on my flash drive where I keep sensitive info (important numbers, passwords, etc.) and would like to protect this info in the event that someone gets a hold of this drive.
I figured the best method was encryption so I started experimenting with gpg, but I encountered problems as mentioned here:

I still haven't found a solution so I'm looking into possible alternatives. As shown in the above thread, someone recommended using eCryptfs or an encfs directory. Before I spend anymore time researching this stuff, has anyone tried using these before? Do they work well and do you think these would suit my needs?
The only other alternative I can think is just compressing the folder into a password protected rar file. Would this work well or would I be leaving my data vulnerable?
ALSO, I would a prefer a solution that would still allow me to backup this folder using rsync. I like to keep and up-to-date backup of my entire flash drive by syncing it to another flash drive using rsync.
is there a way to password protect a file or folder from the terminal? i wanted to do this because I may have several friends depositing files on my ssh server that they don't want each other to see. Or i might have a file i don't want them to see.I installed cryptkeeper,but it can't take commands from the terminal. Anything else I can try?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got apache running a webdav folder, I would like to implement mod_clamav to protect this folder - however I'm not having much success. Here's a copy of the relevant bits of code:

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy brother and I currently use a shared server, we both connect via SSH. I store files (via SFTP) on it as I only normally use a laptop. He uses to host his own personal files and also a public website promoting his photography business. I am interested in cryptography and security and have restricted our SSH connections to require keys and use encfs to encrypt my personal folder. Comments on this are welcome.
I am struggling to work out how to protect his home folder without preventing access to his site. Normal methods prevent access entirely or require the web browser to enter a password (no good for promotion). I would like to prevent both alien users and myself from accessing his home folder but still allow his website to be functional from within this area of restricted access. Both the site and his personal files need to be protected.
I want to password protect say a subdirectory, or a subdomain via vhost, with a username/password, but use the systems users and passwords as logins -> I want go avoid any and all .htaccess... as everyone should be doing anyway How would I go about doing this? I know my way around the apache configs fairly well, so I'm not a total newb -> I now I can use .useraccess and .pwaccess but that's flat file driven, not based off of the systems users/passwords.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)
Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?

I am attempting to make a shared folder for people that VPN into the network. This folder needs to be accessible to windows and mac machines. So far I have the VPN through ppptd working.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Ubuntu (at least on server distributions). I used debian versions for a long time and thought, to try ubuntu LTS 10.0.4, because of the long time support cycle. I had problems, to install this distribution on a x86 platform (used with ASUS P4B533-v), because of kernel panic after installation. So I used a trick to get it running. I installed Ubuntu LTS 8.04 and compiled a kernel 2.6.34 and made a distupgrade. All went o.k. and is now running as a productive system.
My question now belongs to the used pid folder /var/run. I'm using some self compiled programs and had to create a separatly folder (e.g. /var/run/stunnel). My problem is, after rebooting the system, the folder is deleted automatically! Never saw this issue on other distributions. Is there any reason why? Of course, I can write a section in my init script, searching for existing folder and if not, creating it ...
We have an Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d in our office. for past two days the shared public folder is not getting mounted. but it's working fine through the web interface i.e user can upload/download.that rules out the permissions problems.
I am providing the output of mount command:
t227@t227:/var/log$ sudo mount -t cifs --verbose //192.100.100.37/public /mnt/public/ -o username=shrey
[sudo] password for t227:

in fact i can't access any of the folder which I am having permissions to rw.but it's working fine through the web interface.
P.S:- On windows also I can't mount the folder.
Looking for a way to add multiple groups to a folder. This feature is obviously available in most other platforms (Mac, Windows). Why can't I find any reference to this, or better yet, why doesn't this feature exist?
View 5 Replies View RelatedFirst off I'm running a headless Ubuntu server 10.10 box.I have a single folder on a ntfs drive that I wish to copy somewhere else on the same HD. I'd like this to automatically happen about once a week or so. It would be even better if it would tarball the copy also..but this isn't a 100% necessary.
Something like "XFOLDER" would be copied to "/backup/XFOLDER1.tar" then next time "/backup/XFOLDER2.tar" and so on.
I download a gz pack from hadoop's official website. It's only 30MB. But my friend give me another package.It's more than 3GB...after decompressing,it's 11.3GB! and I found that the folder enwiki is about 11GB!! but I didn't find this folder in offical package. I wonder what this folder is used for? Is it indispensable?? 3Q~
View 2 Replies View RelatedAnyone know if you can use samba to share a folder to stream music and video files to a wireless enabled dvd player? I have a machine running Ubuntu server and have all my music stored and shared using nfs with my network computers. I just got a Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray player that has wireless for blockbuster, netflix, pandora, and you tube. You can also setup a shared folder on a Windows system to allow play back on the blu-ray player. I was just wondering if anybody has tried it with ubuntu and samba.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to rename files recursively from a folder. I want to delete the & from every filename. i've searched the net and found the following script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
dir=/whatever/directory
for file in `ls $dir` ; do
# ANYCASE TO UPPERCASE:
newname=`echo $file | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`
mv $dir/$file $dir/$newname
done
and changed it:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
dir=/home/test
for file in `find $dir -type f` ; do
#rename files containing &
newname=`echo $file` | tr '[&]' ''
mv $dir/$file $dir/$newname
done
But the for loop explodes the filename after each & sign, so i don't have a whole filename. if the file is named lorem & ipsum, the for loop will break it in 3 parts.
