Ubuntu :: How To Make Filezilla Save To External Hdd
Jan 31, 2010
Installed Filezilla FTP-client, and wants to save the downloaded files to my external OneTouch4 HDD. In Windows, you've got letters for different drives, like c: d: and so on. I understand my external HDD is /dev/sdb1/ in Ubuntu (9.1). My local place is just called "/" in Filezilla,I guess this refers to my root.It shows different folders, like bin, boot, cdrom, dev etc. When I try to type in /dev/sdb1/ here, I just get an error saying it does'n exist, or cannot be accessed.
PS: My external hdd is mounted, it has its own icon on the desktop.
my mediacenter is attached to an beamer with the optimal resolution of 1280*720 ubuntu 10.04 doesnt offer me this revolution (on my intel 915 graphis controller). this means i have to add this resolution to the possible resolutions. first i used cvt
now i can select and use the new resolution - until next reboot. after an reboot 1280x720 is again not available. even if i work with sudo - the resolution isnt there....
I have an external monitor at work, but not at home. I take my laptop home and when I come back the settings are off. My monitor is above my laptop, so I have to rearrage displays and save every time its plugged in. Isn't there a system file or something somewhere that I can write to and save the current state as the default?
I'm not exactly a computer pro. I had copied Ubuntu netbook on to a USB with the program given at Ubuntu.com. I plugged it in and booted it via F12 on my Alienware M17x and I chose to try it. When I selected to try it, it wouldn't work at all and I sat there for about an hour. I turned the laptop off, and now it says I'm "Missing" the OS. Which means my Windows 7 is gone.
My friend had told me to do something with Gparted, but it didn't help. He did say that my files could possibly still be there (which would be AMAZINGLY awesome. I just wish I could get things back to the way they were yesterday. I need to know what is wrong with the partitions though, since I think that the errors are related to the partitions. It is a Solid state drive. My priorities are:
1. Save my files (if they are there still) to an external HD 2. Re-install Windows 7 (if needed) 3. Install Linux alongside Win7
I have an external hard drive that I use to store the My Documents folder from my Windows partition. I want to be able to automatically have all of my saved documents from Ubuntu go there as well. How do I configure that?
How can I make a usb live cd and save changes to the same usb stick?I have the unetbootin program and plan to install ubuntu on my 4 gig flash drive. What do I need to do to save the changes and preferences and even install a few programs to it. I essentially want it to behave the same way as if I had installed it to my hard drive except with a 4 gig memory limit.
I am trying to figure out a way to make my own cd script.. i thought that prompting the user to type in her destination then saving that input to PATH system variable will get it done! but it does'nt work here what i made (i think it's not that smart!)
Totem didn't play .avi movies by default after my new CentOS 5.3 install. In my effort to find a way to fix it I learned in another forum that installing VLC allows almost all video formats to be played. So I added RPMForge to my repository group then I found and installed VLC with no problem.
Now that VLC is installed and I've had a chance to use it, I've learned that it fails to save my brightness setting between launches. This is very frustrating because the default brightness is always too dark, which means I have to go to the controls and reset it every time I launch the software. Does anyone here know how I can save my brightness setting between launches?
Am quite new to Ubuntu (10.04) and have recently reinstalled XP. I want to make an image of my windows partition to save time and effort when wanting to restore this. I read the Ubuntu documentation on Drive Imaging [URL]..community/DriveImaging and am wondering if I've done things ok?
I've booted using the Live CD. Windows is on sda1 and is a 50GB partition. I have a hidden ntfs partition on the same hard drive at sda9 of 10GB. The first time I tried this I got an error regarding my output file saying "Not a directory". I'm assuming that was because I hadn't mounted sda9. It also reported an error saying permission denied on sda1. I then mounted sda9
Code: sudo mount /dev/sda9 /mnt
I then changed to root as I thought not being in that was why I was getting the permissions error.
Code: sudo -s I've then done the following; Code: dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=1024 | gzip > /mnt/sda1.bin.gz
The terminal window is just showing a flashing cursor in the bottom left corner under the above command line input. Is the fact that my mount partition being smaller than my windows partition going to cause a problem or will gzip solve that? My Windows install occupies about 7.5GB of the 50GB partion.
I'm not sure if dd is just taking a long time to complete the task???
I installed fedora 13 in its LXDE flavor in my laptop. I noticed when it goes to save energy mode, the TFT retro-illumination is not turned off. The display just stays black with light. How to make the display to turn off when the system enters in save energy mode?
I worry about mounting properly an external USB hard disk. It is a sata 1To NTFS formatted It works perfectly with a XP SP3. With xuxbuntu 10.10 , with ntfs-3g installed , it is VERY long to transfer data:it took almost 3 days for 360Go. When I connect to the station , it automatically mount by itself on /media/disk without any option;I suspect bad options are used and no use of NTFS-3G. How to oblige it to mount with good options?
My ubuntu login window seems to be chrased and seems no way to restore it. I was planning to move ahead with reinstalling it but could any1 tell me how can i copy data to external hard disk. I am in Mannual restore section with promt staying at root@ubuntu :/#
The idea is that I got to grips with Linux a couple of times in the past; most recently in a Radio Astronomy class (where we had to use openSUSE and terminals 24/7). I loved it so much that I fired up Wubi on my laptop and I am having a play.
Then I loved it even more.
So here's the plan:
Find Windows (Vista) CD *sigh* Get 500 GB external Hard Drive Backup files to HD (60 GB max) Reformat Laptop & Reinstall Windows ====
To my understanding, this gives me a blank slate with a lot of room to play with because of the external HD. If this is not possible/too risky etc. then what are the best alternatives?
The plan is to make my primary OS Ubuntu. The way I figured, to keep things simple, is to keep the laptop's HD with Windows as 'normal'. I would thus install Ubuntu to the external HD, and put my files etc. on that.
Now, is that possible for a clean installation? Ideally, it would be fantastic if the boot can be configured so it would boot Ubuntu if the HD is connected, and Windows if not.
Esteemed (K/X)Ubuntu'ers, I need some help. I had a Samsung HDD (Internal) that crashed, was a fault of the store that sold it to me and they went bankrupt. I thought I buy an external HDD (Western Digital Elements 1.5TB) and boot Kubuntu from there, so I still use the computer till I buy a super nice one after USB 3.0 hit the streets.
The problem I keep having by booting of the external HDD is that GRUB keeps saying Code: error: bad filename how to install Kubuntu on a external HDD and make it boot correctly?
I am trying to boot from an external hard drive, and have tried to use unetbootin like I used when crating a bootable usb drive but it does not see my external and will not create bootbale iso for me to run from my external hard drive.
What im trying to do is install ubuntu on to an external hard drive, partition it and make it work. ive got a problem, as i have 200GB of games and other things already on that drive, before you say "copy it to another drive and then back" i cant, i dont have any other drives apart from my internal which has only got 20 gig left
My assessment is making a tree from a text file as follows: -reading a file line by line
-making a binary tree from it - traverse by level the binary tree - posting the traversal result to the same file without overwriting the text file- it is required to be append to the bottom of the text file (i have to do this in 4 languages: c#,PHP from Xampp,java, python)
i read the file with this script in java: public class FileToStringArray { privateString strLine; privateString[] stringArray; privateFileInputStream in;
Tuesday night I wanted to make a backup of my Ubuntu ext4 partition via Clonezilla so I configured that an image had to be made and it would be saved on the NTFS external disk. But it said it needed 23 hours to create a 5gb backup, so I resetted my computer as this took too long. But after this, Ubuntu nor Windows recognized my drive.
I called Seagate and they told me after troubleshooting 30 minutes, that there is no option of fixing the drive and I had to send it to RMA. What could be wrong? Clonezilla works via a bootable ISO on Debian. The disk drive is still spinning. I already rebooted the external drive, but it's not working. In Linux the disk is no longer mounted and cannot be mounted:
Code: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 2010-03-12 00:50 /dev/sdb brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 2010-03-12 00:50 /dev/sdc brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 2010-03-12 00:50 /dev/sdd brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 64 2010-03-12 00:50 /dev/sde
What could have happened? Would the data still be accessible on the internal drive? Did I just loose 1.5TB data that was stored on the external disk?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 dual booting with Windows7.My ext3 /home is mounted as F: in windows.I share a firefox profile between them so that when i am in Windows my firefox uses the same profile as it does when in Ubuntu.It all worked great until recently. I am unable to save files by right clicking and save as. In the config i am unable to set a directory to save to. It neer asks me where to save to. Just nothing happens. some off my book marks are all messed up as well, my rss feeds have the same post on some random website every time i log on and i have to manually refresh to get the correct feeds back. I am unable to delete the random bookmark.
So I just reinstalled OpenSUSE 11.2 and I went from having 20-30 mbps speed to and from my 1 tb usb ntfs external hard drive to having about 1 mbps transfer speeds now. Is there any suggestions for how I can fix this? I know it can go faster, I just need to figure out how. and would setting acpi=off at boot affect this?

I installed vsftpd and edited the config. file according to the instructions. I restarted the process. I then installed FileZilla.
I input 127.0.0.1 as my host name, my username and password, and port 21. Connection is successful for a few minutes until I get a 421 Timeout and the connection closes.
While still connected, I have attempted to run the network configuration wizard, only to find a few hitches. The furthest I got was when I had the wizard acquire my IP address from the website (I do have a dynamic IP), and when I manually input port 50000-50050 for it to use, because I have forwarded them on my router.
The test gets quite far, and only fails at this juncture: Response: 150 opening data connection Response: 503 Failure of data connection. Server sent unexpected reply. Connection closed
What could be going on? I double-checked that my ISP allows FTP on port 21, and all seems good to go.
Ive just insalled Ubuntu 9.10 and installed Filezilla from the Ubuntu Software Centre, however this is only version 3.2.7.2. How do I update this to 3.3.2? Ive downloaded the tar.bz2 file and extracted it in Downloads but how I do install it from here?
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. At the moment, the current version of filezilla in the software center is 3.3.1. That version has some known bugs, and the current version of filezilla at their website is 3.3.3 (released more than a month ago). How can i update filezilla? FIlezilla tells me to use software manager, but 3.3.3 isn't there yet. Moreover, they only release the source code without a deb package..
I would like to know if there's a way of using FileZilla or another FTP client without having a web page. My intention is to have my files on a server and download them form time to time from different computers using FileZilla's portable version. It would also serve as a Back-up copy of 'em. If there's no way of doing that, I can get a subdomain from, that is free and without a file limit?
