Hi, I have an HP HDX-16 laptop and I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on it. Recently my internet has become very unreliable where after a couple minutes of connecting to wifi, my internet access will slow to...

I could do that, but I usually end up working out of the local file from Windows on the same machine. Dropbox seems to have this problem where I have to resync my folder every time I switch from...

I guess I was kind of misleading... Right now, Dropbox has a location on my Storage partition and my backup has a location elsewhere on the same partition. It's fine to work straight out of my...

Hi all, I'm having a bit of a problem with rsync. I'm using it to sync files from my dropbox folder to my local drive and vice versa on my linux machine; as in I can make changes to either side and...

Cool, I think it works, but my server crashed shortly after connecting through winscp. Hopefully it is unrelated, but I'll have to check again when I get home. Thanks again.

Awesome! It took me a while to figure out what I was doing wrong, but it turned out to just be me overlooking puttygen as required for my key to work. I seem to always to rush through instructions...

Thank you for the super fast replies! I have a question, though: where it says "...your public key and should be placed in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file for every computer you would like to log in...

That is correct

So, I have a question and I can't seem to find anything online that will explain it well enough for me to get it working. I have an http web server at home that I've been slowly working on for a...

Thanks for all the help everyone but, unless this problem solves itself, I think I'm probably stuck with the sshftp option. I will undoubtedly have questions as I have less experience with sshftp...

Bump for more info on this..

I have a home account, but are you talking about Telus blocking the ports or are they able to block the service entirely? I'm not on the default FTP port because Telus blocks port 21 and I'm sure the...

Thank you for your response. I seem to be able to do that, although when I type in ls or dir it says "500 Illegal PORT command", and when trying to copy files over using get or recv, I get "425...

Bump

I posted a similar thread a couple days ago, but I never got the response that I was looking for. I've tried quite a bit to solve this on my own but I have no idea how to do this, having never set up...

I actually want to be able to add and remove files from the entire www directory. Running ls -l /var produced these results for www:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 21 13:26 www
I am pretty new...

I didn't know that logging in as root was a security risk. Does that mean that it doesn't allow root to log in to ftp by default?

Thanks for the response. I guess I should have mentioned that users are not really being jailed to their home, they just can't edit/add files outside of the home directory. Also, according to the...

Hi, I'm currently in the process of making an HTTP web server running from home and I've run into some problems with FTP(using proftpd). I want to be able to use FTP to upload files to the website...

I'm starting to get pretty frustrated with this whole thing, I seem to have tried everything to get this to work and it still won't recognize that the ports are being forwarded... I have flushed all...

Sorry I haven't responded for a while, my internet at home has been really awful the past couple days and I haven't been able to access the forums for any length of time long enough to post.

Thank...

I no longer get directed to my modem's configuration when doing it, I just get no response, is this still normal behavior?

To avoid confusion, I have plugged the ethernet from the server directly into the modem. My knowledge of networking is pretty terrible, however, and I'm curious as to why I would plug the modem into...

I'm going to bump this back up because what I did didn't fix my problem. I now have access to the modem/router that was causing the problem before but I'm very confused. I thought that each...
