Ubuntu :: Upload Files Through Symlinks?
Sep 9, 2010
Not sure this is appropriate here but wondering if one has advantage over other in terms of sharability?
Also is it possible to upload files through symlinks? ie put a simlink to a tar ball located elsewhere on filesystem than ubuntu one/dropbox folder.

I have a directory full of symlinks. I want to zip them as if there were the real files. If I just zip them as usual, the resulting zip file does not contain the files at all! Is there any way to do this?

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.

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:
Code:
VBoxManage modifyvm "Server Name" --natpf1 "FTP,tcp,,2020,,20"
VBoxManage modifyvm "Server Name" --natpf1 "FTP,tcp,,2121,,21"
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'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 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?

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)
PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');
$currentDir = dirname(__FILE__);
[code]...

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.

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 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.

When I click on the "Browse" button on a web application, I get "File Upload" a dialog. However, I cannot select more than one files. I know it's not a big deal to most people, but I am writing a web page that allows users to upload multiple files at once. So, this is like a show stopper for me.
Here is my Fedora version: Linux saigon 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Thu Feb 11 06:51:26 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I've setup a Lamp Server for Testing, The Lamp Server is Up & Running on CentOs 5.5
I am now trying to setup a VSFTP server where local users can upload files to there home directory so that Apache can serve web pages straight from the directories of system user home/accounts giving users the ability to run their own web sites which are hosted off the main server [tutorial here: [url]
So far i have been able to serve/display index.html files from the users home directory [url] but so far i cant upload files to any user home directory, every time i try to upload a file with filezilla i get this error message: 553 Could not create file. Critical file transfer error
I have searched online for similar problems like mine and so far i've tried alot of the solution but none seem to work. I'm confused, dont know where i went wrong, i put the users in a group called ftpusers and here are the permissions on the users (test, ftpuser & testftp) home directory. have a look an tell me where i went wrong :(
Also the root directory where the web pages are served from is called public_html here are the permissions
Here is my vsftp.conf file can someone check it to see if i made any errors in there:

I recently tried the package "pysdm" to mount a data partition but didn't care for the way it handled things so I opted for editing fstab which I'm much more satisfied with.I did then purge pysdem and it's config files but something lingered, finally I got things working by using a UUID designation in fstab but I know there's an old symlink to a /dev/sdb7 that has since been deleted and later recreated with a new UUID.
I have "googled" enough to find that the package "fslint" should be able to handle this but since one gui got me in trouble I'm reluctant to use another, I'd prefer just being able to find where symlinks live and ripping them out by the short hairs

shed some light on what the behavior would be if I symlinked a non-encrypted directory (lets call it /media/sdcard/foo) into an encrypted home directory (lets say home/documents/sdcard-docs)Would files written to that symlinked directory be encryptedgarbled, or would they be normal? would files that were attempted to be read be interpreted as encrypted, or would they be read properly?

I did a "backup" of my .wine folder by copying it to my network attached storage drive. Now, that folder thinks it has about 200gb of data! Specifically, it's the .wine/dosdevices folder. I didn't grasp that Wine had created some kind of hard links to my ~ folder on my Ubuntu box. Since that folder is clearly recursively linking to all my files, I'm afraid to just delete it. I did delete one file within it as a test and, sure enough, the original file back on my Ubuntu box disappeared!how can I delete the .wine "backup" folder I created on my NAS without deleting all the original files?

I just made the upgrade to 10.04 over the weekend, and everything seems to be working fine, minus one nagging detail.I have a Mythbuntu setup - a frontend and a backend. In addition to recording television, I have a folder setup on my backend where I can dump movie files to watch on the frontend. The folder is shared in the /etc/fstab via a CIFS share. Within that folder is a symlink to where my torrent folder is located. The issues seems to be how my frontend handles symlinks within the shared folders. If I run "ls -la" in my base CIFS share folder, it lists the symlink folder and says it's owned by root, but if I try and change to that directory - either using "ls" or "cd" - it says Permission Denied. On the backend, I changed ownership of the symlink to the username the CIFS is using to login, but that had no effect. I'm not familiar with how to do any sort of configuration on CIFS, if that's where I'd even need to start.
