Trying to copy files from remote windows pc into my local linux using shell script.
Can someone please tell me how this can be done?
You can use smbclient to connect to the windows shared directory:
smbclient -L <ip address> -U <windows user>
Alternatively, you can mount a shared directory using smb mount:
mkdir /mnt/local_share
sudo mount -t cifs //<ip address/<shared directory> /mnt/local_share

I have two questions here. I am able to mount a windows network path in my Ubuntu machine by doing following:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=user \\\\my_windows\\test /net/loc
All the files and folders present in Windows machine is now available in Ubuntu machine with path '/net/loc'.
Here are my doubts:
I can see all files of windows in linux path. Is it possible to create files/folders in Linux path(the mount path where windows path is mounted) and it will be reflected in Windows machine? I am not able to write in Linux machine where windows network location is mounted. It throws me error "Can't open file for writing".
I am trying to write a shell script (a ksh file) which will mount the windows network path. I wrote the below mount command in my file but this command prompts for password. Is there any way, I can write the command in shell script that it will not ask me for password and I can pass it as either as a parameter or some other mechanism?
mount -t cifs -o username=user \\my_windows\test /net/loc
Thank you
Password can be passed as below
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=${USER},password=${PASSWORD},uid=,gid= //server-address/folder /mount/path/on/ubuntu
And with root access I am able to write in Linux path.

We have sshfs installed and working so we can mount a remote directory with the command
sshfs user#remotemachine:dir mount_location
however if we try using this same working command after running an unshare -r we get the error:
fusermount: mount failed: Operation not permitted.
What could we do to run the sshfs mount after the unshare without it failing?
I'm trying to get a Linux VM using Virtual Box, Virtual Box Guest Additions, and Vagrant running and to mount a folder on my Windows 7 machine. I've tried the suggestions in this question, but still get the same error.
I'm running the following versions:
Virtual Box: 4.3.18 r96516
Virtual Box Guest Additions: 4.3.18
Vagrant: 1.6.5
Vagrant Plug-ins:
vagrant-login: 1.0.1
vagrant-share: 1.1.2
vagrant-vbguest: 0.10.0
When I run vagrant reload I get the following error:
Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because
the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that
the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and
can work properly. The command attempted was:
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3`,
nolock,vers=3,udp,noatime core /tbm
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant`,nolock,vers=3,udp,noa
time core /tbm
The error output from the last command was:
stdin: is not a tty
unknown mount option `noatime'
valid options:
rw mount read write (default)
ro mount read only
uid =<arg> default file owner user id
gid =<arg> default file owner group id
ttl =<arg> time to live for dentry
iocharset =<arg> i/o charset (default utf8)
convertcp =<arg> convert share name from given charset to utf8
dmode =<arg> mode of all directories
fmode =<arg> mode of all regular files
umask =<arg> umask of directories and regular files
dmask =<arg> umask of directories
fmask =<arg> umask of regular files
I've tried un-installing, installing, updating the vagrant-vbguest plugin:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
I've tried running the following command after running vagrant ssh, but still get the same error message:
sudo ln -s /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.18/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions
I'm not super familiar with mount options, but I tried executing your command in a similar VM I'm running and got the same error regarding the noatime option.
I read through the documentation (man 8 mount) which states somewhere after line 300 or so, in the FILESYSTEM INDEPENDENT MOUNT OPTIONS that: Some of these options are only useful when they appear in the /etc/fstab file.
I suspect this is your problem. I edited my /ect/fstab file to change one of my mounts to /dev/mapper/precise64-root / ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 this option and then ran the following:
sudo mount -oremount /
vagrant#precise64:~$ mount
/dev/mapper/precise64-root on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
...
I edited the file again to remove the option and:
vagrant#precise64:~$ sudo mount -oremount /
vagrant#precise64:~$ mount
/dev/mapper/precise64-root on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
...
I don't know if you're providing these mount commands or if they come from a plugin, but it seems like (at least in your environment), the option works fine, but can't be specified on the command line.
I'm worknig on a remote codebase via vagrant development environment and I use sshfs for mounting the remote point on my localhost as below:
sshfs hostname:vagrant_remotemountpoint mountpoint
To copy a file to the vagrant vagrant_remotemountpoint first I open the mountpoint via nautilus and then paste the file into it. Now I like to do this process using a shell command.
Anybody has done such an effort? Thanks.
Have you tried cp somefile mountpoint on shell? With sshfs, mountpoint should appear like a normal directory on your system.
I connected to Amazon's linux instance from ssh using private key. I am trying to copy entire folder from that instance to my local linux machine .
Can anyone tell me the correct scp command to do this?
Or do I need something more than scp?
Both machines are Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
another way to do it is
scp -i "insert key file here" -r "insert ec2 instance here" "your local directory"
One mistake I made was scp -ir. The key has to be after the -i, and the -r after that.
so
scp -i amazon.pem -r ec2-user#ec2-##-##-##:/source/dir /destination/dir
Call scp from client machine with recursive option:
scp -r user#remote:src_directory dst_directory
scp -i {key path} -r ec2-user#54.159.147.19:{remote path} {local path}
For EC2 ubuntu
go to your .pem file directory
scp -i "yourkey.pem" -r ec2user#DNS_name:/home/ubuntu/foldername ~/Desktop/localfolder
You could even use rsync.
rsync -aPSHiv remote:directory .
This's how I copied file from amazon ec2 service to local window pc:
pscp -i "your-key-pair.pem" username#ec2-ip-compute.amazonaws.com:/home/username/file.txt C:\Documents\
For Linux to copy a directory:
scp -i "your-key-pair.pem" -r username#ec2-ip-compute.amazonaws.com:/home/username/dirtocopy /var/www/
To connect to amazon it requires key pair authentication.
Note:
Username most probably is ubuntu.
I use sshfs and mount remote directory to local machine and do whatever you want. Here is a small guide, commands may change on your system
This is also important and related to the above answer.
Copying all files in a local directory to EC2. This is a Unix answer.
Copy the entire local folder to a folder in EC2:
scp -i "key-pair.pem" -r /home/Projects/myfiles ubuntu#ec2.amazonaws.com:/home/dir
Copy only the entire contents of local folder to folder in EC2:
scp -i "key-pair.pem" -r /home/Projects/myfiles/* ubuntu#ec2.amazonaws.com:/home/dir
I do not like to use scp for large number of files as it does a 'transaction' for each file. The following is much better:
cd local_dir; ssh user#server 'cd remote_dir_parent; tar -c remote_dir' | tar -x
You can add a z flag to tar to compress on server and uncompress on client.
One way I found on youtube is to connect a local folder with a shared folder in EC2 instance. Please view this video for the full instruction. The sharing is instantaneous.
