Ubuntu :: Switch From Vista To 10.10 - Unable To Upload Files
Oct 31, 2010
i've tried making the switch before, but always end up running into some trouble that has me going back to windows. i recently installed ubuntu 10.10 and everything has been going fairly smooth, i've been using it for a few weeks with no complaints. no complaints, that is, until i try to upload files... my digicam shoots movies in avi format. i have no problem uploading these files to videos from vista, it works as it should. i cannot upload anything to videos from ubuntu. whatever i try to upload fails instantly.
i also cannot upload photos to photobucket, with the same outcome. the transfer appears to start, but fails immediately afterwards. the photobucket problem has me really intrigued, since it will upload some files directly from the hard drive, but most pics on the hard drive will still fail to upload, and all files on my sd card straight out of the camera fail to upload regardless, even though the computer reads the card and the files fine locally.
I've previously used this forum for help with my Netbook, which was brilliant, but now I'm all set to switch my PC overI have a Dell, which I have kept on Windows XP as I did not get on with Vista, or 7. I want to run Linux on it, Ubuntu to start with, but I'm not 100% sure to go about this.My biggest problem is that I've read a lot of confusing advice about running an ipod with Linux. If anyone has any advice or even how-to's that I've missed
I have installed the Fedora on my laptop with Vista installed first. Now I am using the OS separately fine. I just choose which Os to boot in to every time I turn the machine on. However, I now need to do certain task that I need to switch between two OS. Wonder how to switch to Vista when I am using Fedora without rebooting? and vice versa.
I'm on holidays, away from home and the machines I can use have all XP.
I can access my U1 account from there but it seems it is no possible to backup and upload anything to U1 from these XP's. It's rather anoying because I'll have to buy another SD card for my photo camera at this pace.
jpg files are not visible for upload. I only see the dir. trying to upload pictures to ebay. 9.10 and 10.4 are the same. I tried another sevice same thing happens. Can some one point me in the right direction.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 server edition as a guest OS in Virtual Box. I am trying to configure it as a web server to use for testing purposes for websites. The present problem is that I cannot upload files to it using FTP. I have installed the VSFTPD daemon on the server. The server is connected to the Internet using the default NAT interface of Virtual Box. I have run the following commands to configure port forwarding for FTP with Virtual Box:
The host computer that I am using is a Macbook Pro (Intel) running 10.6.5. I have tried the following FTP clients without success; Mac command line FTP, Filezilla, Classic FTP, Firefox 3.6.12. I get the following errors with each of them:
Mac command line FTP
Code:
$ ftp 127.0.0.1 [2121] ftp: Unknown port `[2121]', using port 21 ftp: Can't connect to `127.0.0.1': Connection refused ftp: Can't connect to `127.0.0.1' Filezilla
I changed to wubi last night, i decided to go that way cause i was informed it was a safe way to try giving it a try for linux and ubuntu without any special effort needed to be payed and easily deleted if i am not pleased.Thankfully i am pretty satisfied with the results, i pretty much dealt with most of the issues i have faced so far successfully and i am running it ok beside one important thing.See i am using my laptop, which has a hdd of 250GB.On my Vista there are 2 different hdd C+E by default, they separated my hdd.So while i have windows on C and E is pretty much used for my additional data(see movies, music etc) when i installed wubi i installed it on E, thought it would be better and it had more space.
Now though, while i can access threw ubuntu all my files that were located on C(vista) i cant access any of the E ones, and search file dont helps either.The "vista hdd" as ubuntu describes it, its a 250 gb disk on computer, which means it should contain both of the vista disks.But sadly thats not the case.i cant seem to be able to find them anywhere.
I've run into a problem with my Photobucket account in that the dialogue does not appear in the upload box. Can anyone with an account please try, maybe something has changed on their site, as I'm sure a week or so back it was working. Failing that what might I have not set up correctly?
I was hoping someone could help me, I am trying to upload files to ovi share(without using firefox), at the minute i have to right click the file then click send to then email, [URL].. click send, then it opens evolution and I have to click again to send. Does anyone know how I should be going about this? How do I make this simpler?
I 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?
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?
One of my user wants to be able to upload file via browser to the server. For that, i need to grant apache read and write access to a folder. How much secure is allowing apache to grant complete read and write access to a folder ?
I'm having a weird problem while uploading a file using a standard html form in Firefox 3.6.8(No extensions, except for the preloaded ones : Ubuntu Firefox modifications 0.9Rc2, mouse gesture redox 3.0.2 ). Anytime I try to upload a file whether on my localhost or at a website that offers a form with an input file, it fails. I'm just using test files, like small images. I've reinstalled my firefox, because I got this problem since 9.10 and now that I've upgraded to Lucid Lynx, I still have this issue. That's why I decided to do a fresh re-install using the same package I've downloaded previously when I did the ugprade. However, I still have the same result, the file never uploads to the server.
This happens when I use a simple html form with enctype="multipart/form-data". Though, when I use any other browser, like chrome, chromium, opera they just work fine. At my localhost, this is my code in one page, if you want to take a look, but as I say even with other websites the problem is happening too. Btw, the temp folders have written permissions (777)
When I try to upload files via FTP to a specific folder (/var/www/myfolder/) I get the message 550 permission is denied. I set CHMOD 777 for this folder (I had to do this via SSH cause I was not allowed to do this in FileZilla)
I want to upload files from my computer to an FTP site and I don't want to upload files that are already on the server. So I need a tool that finds out which local files that are different from the ones on the server, or that don't exists on the server.
Some requirements:
I'm using a cheap provider that does not support rsync or ssh, so I can only use FTP. I generate the files before uploading them, so comparing timestamps is meaningless. I've tried lftp with the mirror command. It's slow (I think it uploads all the files). I upload the files from different computers, so I can't use sitecopy, which uses a local database to keep track of which files are on the server. I'd like to be able to upload all changed files with one command. Preferably no GUI application. And it needs to run in Ubuntu.
I was thinking about creating a tool similar to sitecopy, but which stores checksums of all the files on the FTP server on the server itself. But then I thought that there may already be such a tool.
I'm running OpenSuse 11.0 in a lamp configuration with Apache 2. I configured Apache with the .conf files instead of YAST because I am running virtual hosts (that's another story).
My problem is that my server will not render the pages unless the permissions are set to 775 which I know is not necessary. This is also causing a problem because I am trying to install WordPress onto the server. WordPress will run, but it unable to upload images because it cannot create the directories required.
Apache2 is running as 755 with root as owner and www as group. I changed the owner of the htdocs sub-directories to myself, and created a group that has permissions to write to the directory. WordPress runs as my user and has the same permissions (775).
I am using "curl" command line tool to upload file to ftp server through ftps.I have also tried with the "Secure FTP" software from windows using Implicit mode, which works fine while transfering files.Command as follows:
curl -vk --ftp-ssl -u [username]:[password] ftps://ftp.hostname/directory/test.txt -T /tmp/text.txt --ftp-pasv --disable-expsv Login to server successfully but geting error while start to transfer data. The verbose
upload a file to a business partner of ours in another country. Currently they have an SFTP server set up for us that I am using to download a daily generated file from a previous requirement. I use a bash script to download it since its fairly simple.
sftps manual page only gives a hint about using a batchfile, however i still cannot get it to work. Does anyone know another way? Or if you can even suggest another method or application? It seems like a bit of a cop out you can EASILY download using the sftp command but can't upload.
EDIT - forgot to mention I have already got keyless entry set up using ssh keys.
How would I go about creating a script to upload files to my webserver? I want it to only upload files that have been modified on the current date. So if I make changes to a file or touch a file, I run the shell (or perl) script to upload those files. This is what I have so far:
Code:
#/bin/bash FTPU="username" # ftp login name FTPP="password" # ftp password
I use a PHP IDE that has no built-in ability to upload a project to a site. So, I'm looking for common easy to use tool for Linux that would able to upload modified documents to the server instead of uploading of the whole site. I also accept shell scripts that would be able to do this.
i made a video and i wanted to put it on my myspace(video upload) and it justs fade to grey and becomes unresponive. that it goes back to normal but no progress. so then i tried going to image shack and uploading a picture. can't do that either. tried mediafire, videos, vimeo, nothing.
so i tried on my desktop(desktop running 9.10 32 bit. laptop(the first one i tried) running 9.10 64 bit. it didn't work on that either. i know it's not my isp because it works on my ps3(no ubuntu). not my firewall and tried without without my router. didn't work either. i tried upgrading flash on both of them and on my desktop i can upload some pictures to imageshack now. nothing else though. i have tried using both firefox and opera.
i pinged yahoo and this is what i got:
6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 5007ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 72.732/73.437/75.024/0.761 ms
I installed proftpd on my Ubuntu 10.10 install. I also run multiple websites that I want to allow ftp access to for 2 different users. The websites are located in /home/www/. This is where the guide I was following told me to put them. I also don't have a user named www.How can I give write permission to upload, delete, and edit all the files in /home/www/ for multiple users? They can connect to the ftp server and see the file, just not change them.
I installed lxadmin and now when I try upload files to my lxadmin users public_html folder I get the following message. Cannot write to `backup.zip' (No space left on device). After checking with df -h i noticed / is full.
my task is to store the data to a file at server sent via HTTP POST, i written suitable cgi script in C, but the PROBLEM is that i can't complete the task, I guess i require server permission to do so, how to configure server or how to get access right from server to store data to a file.
