I'm running Ubuntu Server 12.04.01. I've attached an external HDD for backup. My goal is to do a nightly clone of the internal drive so if it crashes I can just pop the external out of the enclosure,...

Fantastically helpful. Now to get the time to get back to this. A couple things dropped in my lap that put this down the list. I'll focus my attention in this direction. I also realized my upload...

I'm still reading up on WeDAV and it looks promising and I'm still trying to figure out the details like users.

However, I'm also seeing information on vhosts. This seems very interesting if I...

Sounds like Dropbox without the versioning and local copies, right?

Trying to figure out the users/permissions bit here. I'm reading a lot of posts around the web saying people were confused...

Great, I'll plan to keep my router as the firewall/gateway for now and keep additional firewalls on each box as needed. Thank you for the advice.

Sugar works fine, I already have it running. My...

I have a handful of questions (if you have very large hands; otherwise maybe a boatload). I am not asking for hand-holding necessarily, but need pointed in many right directions as I'm not...

This might be the best way around. What is 'EW Filename'?

If I'm not mistaken, I need to do


chmod g+w -R /home/shared

Is that correct? That will give the group 'users' read/write access...

I'm lost too and no one else has chimed in after you. This doesn't make any sense to me.

Maybe I should remove the Linux and Samba user and start from scratch. Could someone walk me through that?...

username map = /etc/samba/user.map

That file is totally empty.

OOF. Well, that throws a bigger wrench in. This is shared out via Samba and all other Windows users have access. None are redirected as Shared. So, what am I missing here? I'm using Webmin and added...

and


$ ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x 154 shared users 12288 2013-02-04 15:56 .

Ubuntu Server 10.04I have a folder at /home/shared that has write privilidges to the 'users' group. I created a new user and put her in the users group. But, she doesn't have write access.

I'm...

Big update. SSHed in as the user and found I don't have write permissions on the shared directory.

Uses in the users group which has write access. What am I missing?

I tested mapping the user to shared, but that didn't do anything useful. But, when I took that back off and restarted Windows (heh) I can now list folder contents but have no write access. A step...

This is not related to my other Samba thread. I'm working with a client to get a new user to access their Samba share on a 10.4 server. I'm using Webmin to manage this as well as SSH.

I created...

Got it. Just had to open in a different editor. At this point I'm able to create a folder inside /machine backups, but no inside folders within that folder. Also, you'll note that it's set to access...

EDIT 1: Never mind the following. I got it. I had to download PSCP and do it from the command prompt.

EDIT 2: Well, I have it and you can still ignore the next paragraph, but it's just one long...

I've been working on this for a couple hours and can't get it to work. I'm running 12.04 server and installed Webmin (slick). My goal is to create a shared directory in /home/backups/machine backups/...

That's very helpful. Would you be able to comment on features and ease of use for the end-users? This has to be dead simple to them and I need to be able to get in and get my bearings quickly. Can...

interesting. Could someone please compare (pros/cons) on the four?

A small business client of mine has been using an in-use Win7 box as their file share. Obviously, not the best setup. They really don't need much more than a simple file share and remote access to...

If anyone has any suggestions to get an answer, I'd appreciate it. This is obnoxious... video cuts out at random.

Anyone?

10.04 on a Dell Dimension 2400 with an integrated video card.

After a variable amount of time (10 minutes being the shortest, 50 being the longest so far), the monitor will flicker to black and go...

Are you saying I should set up NFS to migrate the files? That still doesn't help with a migration except that I'd have access... Unless I'm missing something, this isn't helpful, please remove your...
