Solaris 10 – A User Can Download File but Cannot Upload

Leave a comment

By byrusber

Dear all,

I have made a search on the forum, but couldn’t find a related topic about this issue.

* I have created a user on Solaris 10 OS with below command and then set password for the user.

Quote:

useradd -g 0 -u 1001 -d /opt/hattesti/ttupload -m hattesti

* Now i can FTP to OS with this user (hattesti). Although i can download files under related directory; i cannot upload files to it.

Could you please help me to solve this issue?

Files copied to FTP server not shown

Leave a comment

By RHCE

I had copied 2 files to an FTP server which I deployed on my RHEL 5.8 server. The ownership I kept for the files are for the user, ftp. But, I do not see the files on the FTP location using either accessing through Windows explorer or the browser. The ftp location is ftp://10.101.17.80/incoming. The files are visible on the server when I login using root in the location, /var/ftp/incoming.

I hope, my query is clear.

Please revert with the reply to my query.

SFTP user include/exclude without preventing SSH login

Leave a comment

By rbatte1

I have been asked to see if we can restrict SFTP access to authorised users only. There will be business users who will log on with SSH, but they are locked into a menu. They will have write access to the production data to do their job, but we don’t want them to have access to read/write the files with SFTP or anything else for that matter.

For plain FTP, we would use the /etc/ftpusers file and re-create it each night with all users in /etc/passwd except those in the allowed list. Not clever, but it worked.

We’re running RHEL / Centos 6.3 and the server is running vsftp is installed for plain FTP along with openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6_3.x86_64 The sshd_config file defines sftp as starting up /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

Any suggestions? Badly, the users home directory is a common area with the application & data below it, so I can’t just enforce the chroot jail. User SSH login is by userid/password rather than certificate. Not sure if that helps or hinders.

Thanks, in advance,
Robin

Review: SyncUp syncs data whether you're logged on or not

Leave a comment

Sync programs are a dime a dozen. However, tightly written, easy-to-use, and nearly feature-complete sync programs such as @Max SyncUp are not. SyncUp walks that fine line between power and ease of use very well, and succeeds largely because it puts options within easy reach, yet keeps them simple and uses as little technical jargon as possible.

Clean, simple, straightforward. You can’t argue with the way options are presented in Max SyncUp or the array of them.

SyncUp ($25, 30-day free trial) has nearly every feature you could ask for: backup, file filters, scheduling, and both two-way and one-way synchronization, as well as support for domain users, email notifications, FTP servers, networks, and very granular scheduling. However, a possible weak point is the lack of online destinations. Google Drive is supported, but nothing else. If you want to back up more than the 5GB that Google Drive allows, to say Amazon S3, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

While SyncUp doesn’t support revisioning as such, it will keep multiple older versions of your files. It also syncs using plain file copying, to zip archives, or to its own proprietary encrypted archives. The program spawns its own service as well that allows it to perform scheduled operations whether you’re logged in or not. Nice.

@Max SyncUp supports Google’s online storage and FTP servers, but not Amazon S3.

@Max SyncUp is well-executed. If you use S3 or any other non-Google online backup or storage service, it may not be for you, but otherwise it should be on your shortlist of pay sync programs if freebies such as FreeFileSync won’t do.

AIX VIOS IVM Ethernet problem

Leave a comment

By KevB

File Type: txt
Hi All,

I have a p520 box running 3 LPARs, 1 x VIOS, 1 x AIX 6.1 and 1 x AIX 7.1 and no HMC, all configuration is performed via VIOS/IVM

Until recently the box did not have the AIX7.1 LPAR and everything was fine with the box.

We needed to use AIX 7.1 for a new project, so I created a new LPAR and configured it to share the non-VIOS resouces equally with the AIX6.1 LPAR. Everything seemed to go well and I was able to install AIX 7.1 successfully and start using that via PuTTy and FTP as required.

However, it seems that everytime we need to cold-boot the machine, the AIX7.1 LPAR looses visibility of the network. The VIOS and AIX6.1 LPARs remain fine with full network connectivity.

In my investigations so far I have found the following from the VIOS LPAR:

Code:

Need to split a string

Leave a comment

By adshocker

Hi,

We have a SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-13 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5240.

I’m trying to find a way to split a string into 2 variables.

Ex:
parm1=”192.168.1.101/parent/child”

What I need to do is split the string above into:

host=”192.168.1.101″
location=”parent/child”

I saw the solution provided here http://www.unix.com/shell-programmin…tion-file.html but somehow we don’t have the -o option for grep as I keep getting illegal option –o.

The purpose of this is for a shell script already created to do an FTP function. Originally it was intended for accepting HOST, USER, PASS and FILE parameters only. Basically file goes to whatever the main directory on FTP connect. Now users are passing HOST/folder as value for HOST parameter which gives out an error now since 192.168.1.101/parent/child is not a valid HOST. And it would be a lot of work to add another parameter for LOCATION because a lot of other programs are already using this script so I’m trying to avoid this solution for now.

I’d appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

Python script not working in batch process

Leave a comment

By mhahe

Good morning, I have a python 2.3 script that runs stand alone as intended when tested, then it was put into a ksh script. when running the ksh script it runs as intended. The problem is that my script does not run when the ksh script is called by another user who runs a batch process (as of right now I do not know the specifics of this batch process) which calls the ksh script, which should call my python script. I have tried changing owner ship of my python script to the user that will be running the batch script and also gave 777 permissions to the script in hopes that would help. I am new to unix and python altogether so any input would be much appreciated. In case the internals of my script are relevant, my script does:
1. checks a directory for files
2. goes through these files and checks for a certain pattern and counts hits
3. create a file that saves the name of the file that contains matches to this pattern and how many hits were found
4. FTP the created file and all files containing hits to another machine.

my script uses an external command ‘openssl’ for decrypting the other machines login info.

Thanks in advance.

Massive Success of Free-to-Play Model Boosts OBJE's Gaming App Projections

Massive Success of Free-to-Play Model Boosts OBJE’s Gaming App Projections

SARASOTA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The latest market data on free-to-play (FTP) gaming apps has significantly raised OBJ Enterprises’ (OTCBB: OBJE) internal expectations for Phantasmic, the first FTP game in offing from OBJE’s partners at Novalon Games.

The FTP statistics from the TomiAhonen Almanac 2013 are staggeringly positive. Revenue earned from mobile apps are forecast to approach $10 billion, with games accounting for about 80 percent of that total. The world’s estimated 1.2 billion mobile gamers have made free-to-play games their preferred business model, and the top FTP games pull in average revenue per daily user of 25 cents.

In fact, the strength of the FTP model has industry analysts such as SuperData Research predicting that the global market for FTP games will jump to nearly $21.5 billion by 2015.

“There are now roughly as many mobile gamers in the world as there are computer users,” said OBJE CEO Paul Watson. “FTP games are becoming the preferred choice for casual and hardcore gamers alike, and we’re ready to help feed that demand. Phantasmic is only the start.”

Novalon Games, the game developer founded by a joint venture between OBJE and Source Street, also released an early test version of the new puzzle-based mobile gaming app Stupid Pixels last week. The alpha version of Stupid Pixels and the beta version Phantasmic can be viewed and played online at www.novalongames.com. OBJE and Novalon look forward to your continued feedback as we prepare for our official releases.

Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Goes Free to Play

Leave a comment

Want to shoot Nathan Drake in the face without spending a dime? Well, your day has come. Today – when the PlayStation Store updates – Uncharted 3’s multiplayer will be free to download and play.

As you might expect, there are some restrictions. The competitive multiplayer is free up to Level 15; co-op modes aren’t included in the FTP client. However, Naughty Dog wants to give you options. If you want to raise the Level Cap to 25, it’ll cost you $4.99. If you want to remove the Level Cap restrictions, it’ll cost $19.99. If you want Co-op Arena, it’s $9.99. If you want Co-op Adventure, it’s $11.99.

Is this an attempt to save a fledgling multiplayer component?

“The answer really is no,” said Uncharted 3 Game Director Justin Richmond. “We really just wanted to add to that community as easily as we could.”

How to install PGX32 on Sparc 10 Ultra?

Leave a comment

By Michele31416

I’m trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

I’ve got the Oracle installation guide for it and I got as far as:

“4. Insert the CD-ROM labeled “GFX OpenWindows for Solaris 2” into the drive.”

I don’t have a CD-ROM by that name and a web search for that turned up nothing. :confused:

Further down in the guide, they offer the helpful advice: “To complete an installation from FTP files, you must first obtain the packages from Sun. Contact SunService for the correct packages and the site where the packages are located.” So that’s not going to work either.

I did an fbconfig -list but all that returned was /dev/fbs/m640 which I assume is the onboard PGX graphics. The monitor connected to the PGX32 is displaying nothing.

Can someone help me get this thing going? Pretty please? Thanks!

Review: Handy Backup is plain, powerful, and easy to use

Leave a comment

Handy Backup is utilitarian in the best sense; it’s a backup program with a no-nonsense interface and a boatload of features. Despite its plain countenance, one of its iterations is sure to appeal to IT types and smart consumers. I looked at Handy Backup Free, which is… free.

1. There’s not a lot to look at, but there’s power behind the Handy Backup grille.

Handy Backup Free is easy to use and lets you selects files as well as repositories for backing up. Repositories are folders or accounts such as My Documents, an FTP, WebDav, Amazon S3, etc. It’s a little odd to see the latter items listed under a backup list, but it’s also nice. You can back up to and restore data from local drives, CD/DVD/BD, FTP, and across a network.

You create a backup, restore, or synch task in Handy Backup Home using step-by-step wizards. These are easy to use, and once a task has been defined you can edit all the options directly from a multiple-paned dialog. To skip the wizard, you can simply duplicate a task and edit the pertinent options. Said options include full, incremental, differential backups; compressing the backup to encrypted zip files; scheduling; and running tasks before or after a job.

Handy Backup also comes in a $39 Home, $99 Professional, $199 Small Server, and $599 Server editions. Home is the latest 7.x version, while Pro adds disk imaging, backing up to SFTP servers, and ODBC database backup. The Small Server edition backs up numerous business and enterprise-level databases such as Microsoft Exchange data, Oracle, and more. The full Server version has all that plus the ability to back up multiple PCs to a central location.
