looking to implement a website where business partners can download/upload documents. The files and the "partner areas" should be password protected.Are there open source projects / Ubuntu packages readily available for implementing this type of web-based file sharing service
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to make it possible to upload images on my website via a web browser. I have created the HTML form, I can browse to my desktop and upload an image. But my question is, where is it on my server after I upload it? I am running 8.04 on my server.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have followed following steps to implement, ftp upload by test1 user.
Code:
1. Add group ftp-users
# /usr/sbin/groupadd ftp-users
2. User test1 has been added to the group of ftp-users with /home/ftp-docs as home directory
# /usr/sbin/usermod -g ftp-users -d /home/ftp-docs test1
3. Ownership and permission of /home/ftp-docs has been changed to provide read/write access to user test1 and group ftp-users
# chown test1.ftp-users /home/ftp-docs
# chmod 770 /home/ftp-docs
But My intention is for the user who login with test1 user privileges, he should not be able to browse any other directories say /, /var /etc etc. Also he should not be able to change to any other directory. How can I accomplish this ?
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.

I have the following issue: I want to upload some documents on my site(mostly pdfs) with watermark and as far my status is: I have managed to get my watermark in:
transparent png
pdf format
>> When it is a text/pdf I use a script using pdftk, which merges the pdf version of watermark to the pdf document (success)
>> When it is a scanned document(pdf) if I use pdftk, it only works if I apply the watermark as stamp (foreground not background). But in this case the watermark overlaps the original document despite the fact that watermark has the right opacity.... (fail) So the only solution is to apply a transparent watermark. So the question is:How to make a pdf transparent Or how to apply watermark from png file I tried adobe acrobat with wine and it applies the pdf watermark as stamp(foreground) with right opacity so I suppose it was a kind of bug maybe from pdftk, but I would like a command like way to do it so that I can make a script.
have setup a LAMP server with ubuntu 10.04 server edition x86 for my study in VMware Workstation 7.1 For a assignment I had to make a php script that would load a file up to the server and set the name in a mysql database. According to the book the server should set the image in a cryptic folder in the /tmp/ folder.
This isn't working and i also try'd locate and find to find the image i uploaded. I checked the php.ini and file uploads were on but no folder so i set that one to /tmp/ but still no images. Can anyone help me with enabling this function?
This is what I have thus far:
1. uploaded Ubuntu 9.10 and finally got rid of windows
2. installed LAMP -
3. trying to extract a site to var/www
The Problem: I keep getting the message I do not have permission to that folder.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am certainly a Linux Newbie..I have a business with a network of PCs that need not get client files corrupted by viruses & other bad things from the internet...YET I would like to let my employees(who are way worse newbies than me..om Windows even...& stand good chance to mess up computers) use internet at times if they wish. My first thought was just separate side by side PCs, one to get on for Clients/business network etc, & the other to get trashed by the internet.
What I am thinking is a better alternative (& I need to know from yall who I'm sure are way beyond this newbie whether this thinking is correct) is to put something like Puppy Linux 5.0 on small memory USB flash drives & let them each have one to use for internet, simple application functions etc. Can I safely believe that running internet browsing on the flash drive with Puppy Linux booted & running as the OS is NOT going to potentially infect my windows XP business PCs with viruses etc?
I always used to wonder how do web hosting companies host their websites. My problem is I saw some one having their website.I have a degree in Computer Science. I am not clear as how do these web hosting companies give the logins to their users as root. Meaning how can a hosting provider provide root login to say 1000 users and each having a different IP address.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am thinking of starting a business creating web pages and supplying a 'enterprise server' type solutions, whilst still being highly cost effective - eg recomend the client to use an 'old' pc for the majority of their server needs (LDAP, mail, firewall, web server etc). I plan on doing all of this on a linux platform, so as to pass the cost savings of related 'microsoft enterprise systems' to my clients ~ thereby making my proposition more interesting to clients. However I'm not sure if the 'old' pc idea will 'cut the mustard' in terms of serving web pages. So my real question is, at what point does the speed of the internet connection reach a bottle neck with the speed of my CPU? As an 'example' in case I'm not being very clear (which I'm not sure I am).
My old pc has an AMD athlon chip in it, and equally old 30GB and 40GB HDD (SCSI ~ did I mention that they are old!). My intention is to set up a system to the above type specification at home, to see how long it takes me to do, and to give me an idea of what I should charge clients. I understand all the technology, but initially (to save on personal startup costs) I was intending to use my old pc as my personal gateway to the world, $40 for the web registration for 1 year is a considerable saving compared to the $20 per month for a hosted service ~ although as soon as things are going and being 'profitable' I would most likely either upgrade my server or get a hosted service. Any tools I can download onto the server to 'determine' the power consumption over any given period?
I was looking at replacing an old Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 with an Ubuntu system. I was looking at the following Dell system:- [URL]. I was concerned about the "Embedded software Raid" and if Ubuntu will work with it? The system is fairly basic:-
We want a server with 2 x 500g SATA hard drives mirrored.
We need to connect 8 Windows computers logged into a business domain. Accessing mail and a Microsoft Access data base.
Strange issue I have (among others) is that I can upload a file to my ftp site, but cannot download the same file I just uploaded.
I was able to do this before I reinstalled FC15 from scratch due to samba issues (which are still issues that I am working on!) what settings I need to change so I can upload AND download.
I need to know about one thing . In ftp in linux , If I want to do only upload a file into a folder but not download, then is it possible to do ? I just only upload or download a file onto or from a folder ....
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following network setup:
The idea is to separate the download and the upload, namely to send the upload on Net1 and the download on Net2, completely transparent to the client. My first ideas were using simple routing rules....having the default gateway for Gateway A over Net1 and having the route to the client in Gateway B over Net2. However, if I do that, the packets arriving in Gateway B from the client, aren't forwarded anymore. The same thing happens if I don't have any route to the client in Gateway B. In order to forward the packets, does it really matter if the router knows how to route to the source and does it really mater if the packet arrives on the same interface as the routing rules point to?
Well I have vsftpd working flawlessly in a file browser or ftp client. I can log in, upload and download; but I cannot upload or download through a web browser. I have tried IE8/9, firefox, iceweasel and epiphany to no avail.

One of my home workshop project is a small engraver using a small micrometer linear table and three small steppers.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to know what is the best way/practice to let users upload and download files? I want to be able to let the user upload a file, list all the files uploaded, and allow him to download any file from that list, also delete a file. To my understanding I can make a php script to let them do this and the uploaded files are in a specific folder in the server or I can insert the files into a SQL table. Which direction should I go, let them directly upload the files to a specific folder (no SQL involve), or upload the files into a SQL table?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have installed libapache2-mod-bw and it works great to throttle download speeds to the clients (i.e. - the bandwidth out of the server can be controlled just peachy).However, I need to limit the bandwidth *into* the server from specific networks because my WAN links are tiny and do not have QoS or shaping of any sort (I know, I know - contracts in place - will be fixed in November - not my design).I know that there are ways to throttle this at the interface level (e.g. - wondershaper) but I'd like to allow full bandwidth to the clients that are connected locally. The server in question is for web file transfers (under apache2 on 443) and expected file sizes are up to 2GB so a per-network limit would prove helpful.

Anyways, setting up the FTP software for the server has been hell. I am using ProFTPd and Webmin 1.510. I am able to log into the FTP and upload files to any of the directories that I have created.
The issue here is that I cannot download anything from my server via FTP. I have tried multiple clients (Filezilla is what I use normally), but they all come back with "Transfer cannot be started".
is there any PHP upload/download connection speed test script out there

I am putting a php contact form on my webpage that sends messages directly from the page to my email address. This script has worked in the past, but unbeknownst to me that is because my previous server was running a mail transfer client that handled php's mail() function through smtp. The web server I am using now is a home machine configured with ubuntu running php/apache but there is nothing to handle mail. My contact form says the message has been sent, but it never arrives to my inbox.
Following forums, I installed sendmail and verified that smtp was running on port 25, but the form would then hang for over a minute upon submission(and messages still would not be delivered). I then tried exim4 as a mail transfer agent which solved the hanging, but messages still werent delivered. From my reading it appears this could have something to do with my hosts file, but I am unsure how this needs to be configured (pretty new to all this and I seem to have bitten off more than I can chew).
I eventually configured exim4 to use the smarthost feature for outgoing mail, using my gmail account's smtp server (following a tutorial). My exim log file produces no errors, but messages from my contact form still are not delivered. This has turned out to be a huge, hair tearing situation and I'm at a loss on what to do next.
Making a script that changes the MAC-address on my network card when i download or upload X-amount of GB. I have been searching around on the web, but I haven't been able to find anything that does that.
