Ubuntu :: Add To Panel A Link To A Remote Folder?
Mar 23, 2011
I have to access to a remote hard drive on a windows machine with admin privileges (something like \ipaddressc$). I was able to bookmark that and put the link on "Places" using "Connect to Server..." using the following parameters: windows share, ip address, d$, username & pass. Now to make it easier to access, i want to put the same thing on the panel, and there comes the problem. I think that i can make a link that executes by command line the previous settings and opens-mount all the times my remote path.

I use ln -s to create a symbolic folder in /home/ to direct a folder in the media.
But it appeared the link is broken. It also said "This link cannot be used, because its target "./media/StudyResearch/" doesn't exist."

I have done something very studpid I think and was wondering if there's any chance to recovery a folder. I, for some stupid reason, merged a symbolic link with the actual folder, Thought I was doing something else.Now the directory does not seem to exist and when I click on it there is an error saying 'The link '/directory/' is broken'

I have Rechat FC4 with CUPS 1.45 and a Dlink DS-802 Print Server.
I have installed CUPS, and pointed it at the DS-802,
but no joy.
Windows already prints to the 802 via a W2k3 server, so that works fine. FC4 with CUPS seems to point at the 802 but print jobs from localhost (just go to the print queue, and there they stay.
Windows continues to function fine, but linux wont send to the 802. Also, if Windows users try to print to the CUPS shared printer, it shows "No Accesss".

I have two folders such as
nonserved/
folder1/
folder2/
And a served folder via Apache
media/
js/
css/
img/
In the end, I want to include/append contents of /nonserved to /media so that [URL] will be as such:
/media
/js
/css
/img
/folder1
/folder2
I am running Ubuntu Server, I am up for either apache config or symbolic link based answer :) Plus nonserved folder is rather dynamic thus manual symbolic linking to each folder is impossible.

I can't seem to access my ROOT folder when I link to a file in it from one in var/ w ww.if (my ip):80 links to va r / w ww, and jsp only works in tomcat / webapps /ROOT, and I have tomcat / webapps / ROOT installed in var / w ww, then I thought I would try to do something like this, to make jsp work.Is there a way to simply redirect webapps / ROOT to var / www and put all of the files there?

I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, here or in Google, but 5' of search didn't give me any satisfactory answer. I haver 2 users, usr1 and usr2. I have access for both users. I want to link a folder from usr1 into the home directory of usr2. That is, if usr1 has the following folder
/home/usr1/Music
I want usr2 to link to this folder in this manner
/home/usr2/Music/usr1
I want usr2 to have read and execute permissions over all files and folders under that link, but probably I don't want him to have write permissions.

I seem to be seeing some weird behavior in kubuntu with KDE 4.3.2 and KDE 4.3.5 for Kubuntu 9.10 32-bit.I have a few programs in my home folder. For instance Eclipse and Mendeley. it seems that when i create a Link to Application does not launch them. Here is how I create the links.
-> I right click and create a new "Link to Application"
-> I click on the Application tab and browse to where the shell script, or executable is.
and when I try to launch them it does not work. The link is using the absolute path. I tried setting the working directory and using a relative path but nothing. If I run the link in a terminal it says "Warning: Could not find" and the application I set. Now this seems to not be a problem for system applications like Kate. If i change the link to launch Kate it works perfectly.

I created a lab of 15 PCs connected to a server using samba. Everything works fine, but it's possible put a link on the desktop that points directly to the shared folder on the server?

I have a question about the ln command for link creation. I have both Windows and Linux partitions on my system. While I'm working on linux, sometimes I need to access the data stored on my windows partition. Yet, the access is provided through /media directory and I often, I have to click on several folders in order to access windows "My Documents" folder. So, in order to avoid this, I decided to create a link to "My Documents" folder directly from my $HOME directory.
Code:
$ mkdir /home/dariyoosh/MyDocuments
$ ln -fs /media/disk/Users/dariyoosh/Documents/MyDocuments/* ./MyDocuments
The link was created without any problem and now I have a direct access to that folder just by a click. Yet, there is a problem. If I update any file of the windows MyDocuments folder within this linking directory, the file is actually updated on the windows partition, which is of course what I want to do. But If I decide to create a new file on the windows "MyDocuments" folder by using this linking folder, that is, /home/dariyoosh/MyDocuments, the file is put actually on the linux partition instead of the windows MyDocuments folder. So, having created a directory linking to another directory, is there any way to proceed so that any file operation, in particular, creation, affects directly the linked directory?

I have an external hard drive mounted at /media/exthdd/ On that hard drive I have folders: Music, Pictures, Videos, etc. Can I make symbolic links to /media/exthdd/Music/ to say the root directory /_ ? the directory /_ is empty I just want a quick method of typing to get me there much like [cd ~] gets me to my home/username folder. I have my music organized by Artist/Year-Album/Track.Title.mp3 I want to be able to "cd /_" then "ls" and see all Artist folders.

It then places the folder on the desktop. However if I use any application that works with the file system, I can never see that folder. I know the physical location of the SSH folder can be traced into Home folder -> .gvfs (it is a hidden folder). However I want the SSH folder to be easily accessible on the file system. Something very similar to "Expand Drive" or "SFTP drive" in windows.

My "dolphinsu" application is buggy. It won't allow superuser opening of files for editing in superuser kwrite.
But if I make a "link to application" on my desktop with this as the application command:
Code:
Then I get a superuser file manager that does allow me to open files for sditing with superuser kwrite.
I'd like to add the link (to "kdesu konqueror /") onto my KDE Panel so I don't have to hunt down the icon on the KDE Desktop to open it.
How do I add a custom link like this into the icons on the KDE panel?

I have a remote drive mounted on my system(ubuntu 10.04 x64), and i have the contents of that drive backed up to dropbox. the problem is, if i unmount the drive, the files disappear from dropbox. is there a way to mirror the contents of the network drive to a localfolder(preferably in such a way that all changes and file deletions are changed on the local folder instantly, but unmounting doesn't delete it all)? It looks like rsync would work, but im not sure how to make it work.

My university allows me to connect remotely to my storage space. In Windows, I can use: Code: \name.of.server.ca and after I type my userID and password I can map the folder to a drive letter (say, X:) In Fedora, I can connect remotely with Connect to Server using sftp/ssh (although I've not been able to store the userID and password temporarily). What I'd like is to mount or map the remote folder in a way that would allow me to access it from applications (for example, to call a files on the server from within LaTeX ).

I've recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic as a dual boot with WinXP and love it. I've been able to mount my WinXP partition and can access files read/write successfully.
I'd like my WinXP "My Documents" folder to appear as a linked folder in my Linux Home directory.
I think I should be able to use the ln command, but I can't figure it out.
I've tried to create a link that will appear like a "folder" called WinDocs in my Home directory with this command, run from my Home folder:
ln -t /dev/sda1/Documents and Settings/richard/My Documents/ /WinDocs/
but it reports
ln: accessing `/dev/sda1/Documents and Settings/richard/My Documents/': Not a directory
I get the same results if I try /dev/hda1 etc.
I can see the contents of the folder currently in my Places listing. Its shortcut is active on my desktop.

I need to write a shell script which can ready content of the folder and place files on remote FTP server. I need to make sure that a file that is already placed on remote FTP server is not attempted second time. The file names will be something like Records-2011-05-09. The files will be generated by MySQL every hour.
