Ubuntu Servers :: Used For Sharing Files Between Companies?
Nov 17, 2010
I wanted to see if anyone knew of a system that can be used for sharing files between companies? What I am looking for is a web based system that will allow an engineer to upload drawings or CAD models and put them in a "mailbox" for someone at another company. Here are the requirements I need:
1. Any type of file can be uploaded with no restrictions of file size (needs to be able to handle several GB of CAD data).
2. Only the person who the files are intended for can see or download the files.
3. A record of all transactions (uploads & downloads) must be kept.
Basically, I need a web based mailbox system that can handle huge files. Anyone know of such a beast?

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.

I've been searching Google for a dedicated Sirius/XM client, but cannot find anything recent.Some of the older clients no longer work after the two companies merged.

I went on a really fun, homicidal rampage, and eradicated Exchange from about 15 companies by implementing PostPath instead. In fact, there weren't any discernable issues (prolly lost myself a bit of cash coz we all know how unstable MS Exchange is) in the migrations and the customers were exceedingly happy with the product (and especially the licensing).
At the time, PostPath.com had a full featured 12 user version of their product for free, which I could really use right about now, but Cisco bought 'em out a couple of years ago and I'm not sure where to look for an old copy of this 12 user free version of PostPath.

I installed ubuntu 9.10 on a spare computer for misc. backups through ftp. I successfully setup up ftp and logged as an account from the server. Also I mounted the larger hardrive to a folder in my home directory.I am able to successfully write and read to the partition in which the operating system is installed through ftp, but I am only able to read from the larger HDD through ftp.Does anyone know how I can become able to write to the mounted drive through ftp?

For some reason SAMBA is not showing up
[default-www]
writeable = yes
read only = no
path = /var/www
force group = nogroup
force user = nobody
guest only = yes
public = yes
create mode = 777
directory mode = 777
I can see Ubuntu on the LAN, but nothing being seen under it. What is wrong with it? /var/www has been chmod already, and set to 777

I have discussed sharing an internet connection with my neighbor so we can both save money. We both have multiple computers connected to consumer grade routers. I've tinkered with WDS configurations but it was very unreliable and cumbersome to manage for reasons I won't get in to here. I'm thinking of getting my ubuntu server box to connect to my neighbor's wifi (via a USB wifi adapter) and share the connection through my router to my own subnet, (wired and wireless).
Can anyone shed some light on how I can best accomplish this?I can see a number of hurdles with this, maybe there are some I have yet to discover:Getting the USB wireless adapter to connect and stay that way via commandline.Configuring ICS from the USB connection to ethernet out to my router.Probably moving DHCP duty from my router to my server.Getting it all to work reliably well.

Just moved my Mac Server to Ubuntu Server 10.10. I have two external USB drives that need to be shared on the network and be available on the internet for sensitive file transfer. What would be the most secure way to do it ? Some users are mobile and some not. The mobile users can access the network through a vpn running on that same server. The server is serving DNS and Proxy as well. I thought about creating a SAMBA share but the two disks are 1TB each. Then I went for proftpd but after reading some doc, it appears not very secure.

I thought I would try and be clever but have become stuck! I have bought a NEtgear ReadyNAS with a view of copying all sound files and photos to one place. I have a wired home network and a Windows XP PC which I have mapped the NAS to as a network drive.Then came the Linux bit. I have a laptop which I want to do the same with. I have set up the NAS so that it operates with both CIFS and NFS file systems. I can see the CIFS file system in the Network part of Ubuntu 9.10 but am having trouble in getting programs to see it. Ideally I want to use F Spot or Picasa to view the photos and then also use one of the audio packages to play music around the house. When I ask F Spot or Picasa to search for files or folders, the network does not show up in the list.

I shared home folders to be accessible from a Windows XP notebook computer which my wife uses some times. One of the folders contains many pictures which I later renamed (bulk rename at the ubuntu box). The pictures at the Windows box still have the old name and they can be opened as usual. However, when my wife rotated a picture and saved it with the same name, the picture just disappeared. For some reason It can not display the new names. I removed the Thumbs.db files, restarted samba and re-configure again the connection with samba but no luck. It is not a big problem but I was wondering if someone knows what this is happening?This is my samba config file:
Code:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h Ubuntu
dns proxy = no
[code]...

I have a problem sharing files between two machines on my network, one, my main one running 10.10 and the other running Lubuntu. I've used the share files option on my main computer, and they show up on the Lubuntu machine, but when I try accessing the files, I get a message telling me that they'failed to mount'. It's frustrating in that I can see that the files are there, and obviously the Lubuntu machine can 'see' them too. I'm sure that I must have missed out something, and I've tried searching, but so far have only come accross some very old tutorials that just confuse me more. Surely there must be a fool proof way of getting this all working? (I've tried Giver, but the Lubuntu machine refuses to run Giver!)

I am a beginner to Ubuntu / linux. I plan to partition my laptop (HP pavilion) for Windows 7 and Linux (Ubuntu). Can I backup both Linux and Windows 7 files to a single external USB hard drive? (Obviously, they will be in separate directories). If yes, how do I do that? If not, what are my alternatives?
I assume Ubuntu will recognize a USB hard drive as an external flash drive, right? I also notice external SATA hard drive docking stations with USB interface are available, and I have not use them before. The devices takes internal SATA hard drive. If you have use them before, let me know how did you format it using Ubuntu or Windows7 while the drive is attached to the station.

I have set up a fileserver using ubuntu before, but never on 10.10. i have installed samba set the folder to share, can see the folder on windows 7 but when i try and view it says.
Windows cannot access \FILESERVERBackup
You do not have permission to access \FILESERVERBackup. Contact your network administrator to request this action

I am trying to share files between my Kubuntu and Windows Machines. I have tried reinstalling samba 3 times with different guides and trying non-stop for 3 hours. I now see my Kubuntu folders I want to share but when i click on them it asks for a password. I have tried many passwords but they dont work. Also with the printer on the other Xubuntu machine in the other room, I can access the files on that one but i cannot print from the printer as i can in Kubuntu without a problem.

I have been a happy linux user for some years now, even at my work i slowly changed windows to Debian in my computer. I need to share files to others computers (windows 7 and linux).
I have debian stable, xfce and samba whit a public folder. This setup has worked great whit a reasonable number of files ( under 1000) but now i have almost 10.000 and is getting too slow to scan the files when i enter the folder (in the client side, both windows and linux machines) so i think the problem is in the server side (my debian+samba). The files are not heavy (100kb to 2mb) the problem seems to be how much files there are.
Sharing IS WORKING but i would need it to be FASTER, So i need to share the files whit 4 pc running different OS
Ideas:
1) i could tweak samba to make a better job. I have tryed some configurations i found in forums but problems remains. I read that i could make a cron job to LS to the network folder every minute, so it will be ready when i need it, but this solution seems to me very inefficient, using a lot of cpu in the others machines
2) i could change the sharing software. Maybe samba is limited and there are others better way to share a lot of files. I could even install a debian-server version that is more prepared to do this job (if they are)
3) I could buy a router whit a usb 3.0 and attach a external hard drive. I already own an external hard drive that is usb 3.0. This should be more easy and even better (router never turn off so files would be always avaible) but i dont know if this will be faster or slower until i try it, which means to spend money. I could buy the router linksis Cysco EA6200: [URL]

Here's the background.
1x Windows Vista laptop (laptop1)
1x Windows 7 laptop (laptop2)
1x Mac laptop (laptop 3)
I am running Ubuntu server with 3 hard drives. I have Webmin installed. So far, I have the three laptops being able to connect to samba and accessing /home/insert_user_here. All laptop users have access to my /media/data2 (photographs, videos). That's all good. At first, I couldn't get other users but laptop 3 to access /media/sdb1, but I fixed that by changing permission to 755 so I guess everyone can access this. Atm, I want to only allow laptop #3 to connect to /media/sdd1 (be able to read/write/etc.) while laptop 1 and 2 can't even see the files. Also, laptop 1 and 2 can't seem to read and write through file share.

I am trying to set up a LAN with some basic file and printer sharing, as well as either a VPN or FTP server. I am setting up a server for an office with about 4 computers and one remote computer at a home office. I would like the server to back up a selected group of folders on all of the computers as well as share some printers between them all as well. If all of the other computers are windows computers will Ubuntu work for something like this? I would also like to host a website and e-mail server as well if the server is not loaded down too much. I know I can get windows server to work, but I would like to use something else if possible.

I have 10.04 and have samba running.
Samba is remotely administered with webmin and aim to setup home directory sharing. I am however having some trouble getting this to work.
I was of the understanding that home directory sharing allows me to create a user in ubuntu, which samba will then pickup and offer it up as a share.
My smb.conf looks like this..
Code:
#======================= Global Settings =======================
[global]
unix extensions = no
share modes = no
security = user
[Code]....
Essentially I've found this works providing I give the samba user a password after it is automatically created using the 'Configure automatic Unix and Samba user synchronisation' option in webmin.
However if I move the location of this home folder off the main drive i.e. /home/username I get turned away at attempted login.
I've tried specifying the path in [homes] using the path = /media/discarray, but this seems to break authentication somehow.

my laptop seems to have a bad HDD, and I was thinking of trying to make it a "thin client." However since it is a laptop obviously I want to take it places. Is it possible to make a terminal server and "thin client" connect through the internet and not just LAN?The reason I quote thin client is because in my mind I am still going to need to use some HDD so I can connect to the internet and find my server.
To make things easier to read refer to the above as "question 1" and the velow as "question2" Thank you. And sorry for the inconvience. These topics I felt were to similar to make separate topics.I also have another question, the files I have on my server can be accessed by anyone on the network(added a second HDD and network shared it) how can I make it so that the LAN clients have to "login" (or it uses their computers login info to send them to only their files? And if that is possible can we expand it to allow me to use those logins through the internet?

I'm going to be setting up our company with a in office server in the next few days. I wanted to use ubuntu as my servers OS but after reading some of the documentations I come to realize there is no X server in the server OS. I am OK with doing everything in terminal but would prefer to do some things in a graphic interface. Am I able to install the Xfree86 and be able to configure some stuff through that? Also the machine I am building for the server is not a true server machine just a really fast computer with lots of memory and space. The specs are a 3.1 AMD 64bit processor, 16gig ram, 2x 1TB hdd 7200rpm sata.
If the X server isn't a possibility on the server OS, I have read you can install all the server repositories on the Desktop Editions. Would that be a better option for me? Here is what I would like the server to do. I am going to be running quick books on the server with 1 workstation that is dedicated to it. We have 3 workstations and 3 users. We also would like to implement a Shared filing system and print server. Eventually when our current contract with our web host expires we would like to migrate the base website (not the ecom side) to this server.
