Aug 19, 2011I have a laptop running Ubuntu (not the problem) and I want to connect to a FTP server. Filezilla works really well and so does good old ftp. But, the FTP server I need to connect to will only accept connections from a white-list of addresses. My office IP is static and is on the list. Thus, connecting to this FTP server from the office is a piece of cake. But, I want to connect to this FTP server from home. Connecting to it directly from home is impossible because I have a dynamic IP address here at the house (surprise) so we can't just add my home IP address to the list.
Fortunately, I have full admin rights on the network at my local office and I installed cygwin on the Windows 2008 server. I can successfully connect to it using ssh. That gets me half way there. I can securely connect to a machine that is allowed to talk to the FTP server. I'm half way there. Now I want to figure out how to forward my ftp port over ssh through the server at the office and to the FTP server that I really want to connect to.I've tried various incantations of ssh and I can't seem to come up with the right combination. Anyone have any experience doing something like this? In affect, I want to use ssh as a simplistic proxy and it need only really handle a single port.

Jan 17, 2009I'm out in a village and we get more powercuts than I like, and recovering the journal on my server is getting rather irritating. I'm looking into getting a cheap UPS, the powercuts will last usually a maximum of 30 seconds, so I only need a few minutes.
I've been looking at:Plexus V 500VA UPS
Plexus V 1200VA UPS
APC SUA750I Smart-UPS 750VA
I know near to nothing about these things, my question is will those work with a machine with a 700W PSU? How do you know? The 500VA doesn't really mean much to me. Ideally I'd like to get my desktop on there too, but that's more for convenience than anything.
Will any of these do the job? Any Linux compatibility issues I should plan for? Any recommendations from personal experience is greatly welcome Edit: I will be happy with a UPS that can inform Linux power is down, and get the server to cleanly shutdown straight away, I'm more interested in a clean shutdown than maintaining power to use the machines during the outage. Edit 2: Can UPS devices be piggybacked to one another to provide extra uptime? i.e. Could I run 2 of the 30's so when the first runs down, the 2nd carries on?

Hardware :: Cheap RAID Card To Be Monitored From System?

Essentially it must be possible to monitor the raid from the Linux operating system (FC10+), I will not have physical access to the machine most of the time, so I need to be able to talk to the RAID card from Linux (like the 3Ware one does), It is possible to get reasonably priced RAID cards that can be monitored from Windows.
Debian Installation :: When Connect The Printer, Doesn't Recognize Printer As The Photosmart B109 Printer For Unknown Reason?
Jan 3, 2011I've bought a HP Photosmart printer, HP Photosmart wireless e-All-in-One printer - B110a and i've got a problem installing it properly. I'm using Debian 6.0 Squeeze. When i connect the printer, Debian doesn't recognize my printer as the Photosmart B109 printer for unknown reason.

My printer is recognized proparly, but when i try to print a colored image, it comes out black/white. Something is not crrect. Does anyone recognize this problem with this type HP printer?

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Can't Locate Printer Drivers In Network Printer Setup?
Oct 19, 2010I am trying to set uamsung clx2160N as a standalone network printer on my home network. It is a printer with standalone network capability and is connected directly to my router and has a static IP number. We have a few Windows computers at home and they had no problem detecting the printer, installing the drivers and working. Unfortunately my Ubuntu computer recognises the printer and I can even access it's setup and diagnositcs through its IP number. However when I try to add it as a printer, drivers for it cannot be located. #ve tried setting it up three ways:1. Using Samsung's own setup package - finds printer and all the details it needs to work but offers no drivers2. Using Ubuntu's printer setup - recognises printer but stalls at Searching for Drivers dialog3. Trying to *** printer using CUPS - no problem finding and recognising printer, but when I come to search for the driver I get Internal Server Error.
I have of course been trying to do all of these as root. That's the limit of my knowledge reached and searches on the net aren't helping me either. The printer works fine directly connected via USB, so the drivers are on the computer somewhere. How do I get them set up to use the printer on the network?

Nov 21, 2010I have managed to install ubuntu server and set it quite nicely to share my files and printers over my network. I have two printers, a Lexmark e232 and a hp C3180 multifunctional printer (i.e. printer+scaner+a copy function). I have no problem installing the Lexmark printer on my windows 7 computers on the network, however, the All in One printer only gets recognized as a printer but there is no way to get it to scan. I have been reading on the web about all in one printers but I don't quite understand what the issues are.
Is there a way for me to get the full functionality of this printer over the network? I think this wouldn't be a problem if there was some sort of software designed by hp that would allow me to add printers that are not directly connected to the computer (via usb) but are shared from another pc on the network.

How do I work around this? As a minimum I just want to enable printing, although scanning would be a bonus.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Intermittent Usb Printer - Sometimes The Printer Prints Sometimes It Doesn't
Mar 24, 2010I have a parallel port printer connected using usb->parallel adapter. Sometimes the printer prints sometimes it doesn't.
A job will go the print queue and then sit there for ages. Sometimes if I unplug and then replug the usb->parallel cable the printer will print other times it will print half the document then freeze until the cable was unplugged and replugged again.
The printer never shows up in the list using lsusb (only my usb mouse and scanner do).
The printer is an hp deskjet 690c and worked fine under WinXP through a normal parallel cable. The one thing I haven't tested (but will test tomorrow) is the usb->parallel cable in XP.
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Unable To Add USB Printer Via The YaST2 Printer Configuration Setup Tool In 11.3
Aug 26, 2010I am unable to add my USB printer via the YaST2 Printer Configuration setup tool in openSUSE 11.3. The printer, a Dell Color Laser 1320c, was last used with openSUSE 11.2, and setup was entirely uneventful. No driver is provided by Dell, so I used the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A Linux driver. The problem: To add a print queue in 11.3, a Connection must be specified (parallel, USB, network, etc). However, the configuration wizard fails to show the presence of the USB print device.
[Code]...
This printer was working just eight weeks ago under 11.2, and 11.3 is obviously able to detect its presence and identify it correctly. I feel certain the solution is simple, but I haven't found documentation that provides the answer.

Fedora Networking :: System-config-printer Bad Printer Entry?
Dec 26, 2009I have a problem with a bad entry in my system-config-printer on my notebook computer which I think is interfering with my ability to print. I run fedora 10 on several systems in my house. On one desktop, I have a printer hosted which I think I have successfully setup for wireless network sharing (an HP895) using IPP.My problem seems to be a bad entry in my system-config-printer on my notebook computer which seems to stall when I try to print from applications (Firefox for example.) on the notebook. If I open up "Printing", I have 3 printers listed... one of them is for when the printer is attached directly to the notebook, one of them is the working printer description "printer" and the 3d is the bad entry. If I click on the bad entry to try to delete it, I don't have that option, but If I try to look at the "properties" for that entry, system-config-printer stalls (as do other applications when the printing dialog box starts up, and I have to force them to shut down.)
I will attach some screenshots and a copy of my /etc/cups/printers.conf file.How do I get rid of this "bad entry" in the system-config-printers GUI ? It doesn't seem to exist in the printers.conf file.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: "Windows Printer Via Samba" Option - Add One By Selecting Add->Printer
Aug 11, 2011I'm using an up-to-date installation of Squeeze with the default Gnome desktop and am trying to print. My knowledge of configuring printers is very limited if it even exists. Since a friend of mine is able to print from her Ubuntu computer, my plan is to copy her. Here's how she does it. She goes under System->Administration->Printing on the desktop. Then a window pops up titled "Printing" that lists various printers that are supposed to exist. It's possible to add one by selecting Add->Printer. It asks for the root password and then a new window pops up titled "New Printer" which has a subwindow called "Select Device" In my case, the "Select Device" window has the following options to choose from:
- AppSocket/HP JetDirect
- Internet Printing Protocol (ipp)
- LPD/LPR Host or Printer
In her case, she has an extra option called "Windows Printer via Samba". This is the option that she uses. The other options don't seem to work for her. I'm assuming that I just need to install some package in order to make this option magically pop up for me. Does anyone know what package this may be? I currently have the packages smbclient, samba-common and samba-common-bin installed..........
