I would like to establish rsync between Windows 7 and linux server for file transfer. I am trying to make this as simple as possible. As topic, is there any way to use rsync without password file and ssh? I was searching for few days but only found solution with either password-file or ssh.
I am using:
Client Env
Windows 7
cwRsync 5.5.0
Server Env
Linux Redhat 6.3 Santiago
rsync 3.1.1
If you want to use rsync without using SSH at all, then you can do it using an rsync server.
It requires installing rsyncd on the Linux server, and setting up and configuring an always-running service, but there's a tutorial here (from 1999!) that says how to do it.
You can set it up to allow access without a username and password, but only do that within a trusted network! Note that, even with a password, there won't be any encryption, so use with caution.
on the source system:
vim /etc/rsyncd.conf
then add your path
[your_path_name]
path = /any_directory/your_path_name
comment = My fast rsync server
read only = yes
list = yes
start the rsync server
sudo systemctl start rsync
and on the destination server:
rsync -r rsync://X.X.X.X:/your_path_name ./my_directory/ --progress

I'm creating files on a Linux server that I'm logged into and I'm adding the ability for the user to download these files from the Linux server on to the connecting computer. I'm writing a scrip and using the scp command to download these files:
scp data.txt user#usraddress:/home/usr
However, I don't want to specify "user#usraddress:/home/usr" to be just my computer. I want whoever is logged onto the linux server to be able do download these files. Is there a way to get the address of the connecting computer?
How would I do this?
Forgive me if this seems elementary, I'm very new to scripting.
When you open a remote session in a GNU/Linux machine, the ssh server sets the environment variable SSH_CONNECTION with some connection information. You can use this variable and the $USER variable to fill that parameters:
scp data.txt $USER#${SSH_CONNECTION%% *}:/home/$USER
Note that as far as I know you couldn't assume the client home directory is at /home. As said by chepner, you could omit the destination directory to use the default location, the home directory.
scp data.txt $USER#${SSH_CONNECTION%% *}:
I create one SUSE linux EC2 instance in Amazon AWS.
And it is OK to 'putty' to access the instance (use the key-pair file, let's call it key.pem, I have converted it to key.ppk), and when log in the host, I am using 'root' user name, and it is OK.
login as: root
Authenticating with public key "imported-openssh-key"
Last login: Tue Apr 15 15:17:55 2014 from x.x.x.x
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 x86_64 (64-bit)
As "root" use the:
- zypper command for package management
- yast command for configuration management

While when I try to use 'pscp' to copy files, it always failed, and outputs
Server refused our key
Using Keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password:
My 'pscp' command usage as following
C:\Users\t440s\Downloads\putty\pscp.exe -i key.pps test.txt root#myhost.compute.amazonaws.com:/tmp
Actually, I do not know my password.
And I checked following section of /etc/ssh/sshd_config, seems root do not need password
# Authentication:
#LoginGraceTime 2m
PermitRootLogin without-password
PasswordAuthentication no

Please help me. Yours.
I would like you should use Git Bash tool http://git-scm.com/download/win its free and opensource, Please download and install , You have Unix environment is windows :)
now in the git bash type command ls to check where you are and now you can type this command in GIT bash
scp -i /c/Users/USERNAME/Download/key.pem filename.txt ec2-user#ec2-81.1821.1..eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:/tmp
You can replace the user ec2-user to ubuntu or any other which is associate to that machine I dont think root work. Let me know is that works for you
in command line
> ftp ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/data/
Work on one computer but does not work on my other one. Error returned
ftp: ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/data/: Name or service not known
I also tried the raw IP address which is
> ftp ftp://130.14.250.10/1000genomes/ftp/data/
But it didn't work.
What is the problem here? how can I fix this?
The ftp command accepts the server name, not a URL. Your session likely should look like:
ftp ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov
(Server asks for login and password)
cd /1000genomes/ftp/data/
mget *
This depends on the ftp client you are using. On Mac OSX (ftp client from BSD), for example, the default command line ftp client accepts the full url, while for example in CentOS the default client doesn't, and you need to connect just to the hostname. So, it depends on the flavor of linux and the installed default ftp client.
Default ftp client in CentOS (ARPANET):
ftp ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov
cd 1000genomes/ftp/data
If you want to use the full url in CentOS 5.9 or Fedora 18 (where I tested it), you could install an additional ftp client. For example ncftp and lftp have the behavior you are looking for.
ncftp, available through yum or your favorite package manager:
ncftp ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/data/
NcFTP 3.2.2 (Aug 18, 2008) by Mike Gleason (http://www.NcFTP.com/contact/).
Connecting to ...

Logged in to ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov.
Current remote directory is /1000genomes/ftp/data
lftp, also available through your favorite package manager:
lftp ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/data/
cd ok, cwd=/1000genomes/ftp/data
lftp ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov:/1000genomes/ftp/data>
Another, more efficient, way to retrieve a page, is using wget or curl. These work for http, ftp and other protocols.
It looks to me like the computer that isn't working is already adding the ftp: to the URL, have you tried removing it from yours and seeing if that works?

System environment :
Server: Centos 6.2
Client: Windows + TortoiseSVN + putty
I have installed subversion in centos, created repository on server, and configured svn+ssh access way using key authentication. Everything works fine.
But I have a question about svn user using svn+ssh mode.
The svn user have a ssh key, so he can access subversion server and of course he can also access Centos server by SSH using the key authentication. Further, he can copy subversion repository files(Specifically /db files) from centos server using like WinSCP tool base on SSH.
So, I wanna know if there is a way that let the svn user just can access svn repository via svn+ssh and can't copy repository files from centos directly via ssh accessing?
If he can copy repository files from centos server via ssh, I think the svn access control realized by conf/authz file doesn't make any sense and svn repository isn't safe.
I just learn how to create a svn+ssh subversion server, so maybe my knowledge isn't enough, please give me a idea or just tell me whether a solution exists.
If can't prohibit copying files from Linux server via SSH, I will use svn or http(s) access mode.
Thank you!
I found a way to solve this problem.
add command into authorized_keys file to disable ssh shell login and scp, but enable svn+ssh, like this:
"/usr/bin/svnserve -t -r /svn/test/",no-port-forwarding,no-pty,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding
after add your authorized_keys file will like this:
command="/usr/bin/svnserve -t -r /svn/test/",no-port-forwarding,no-pty,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding ssh-rsa A......................................................................
I think this is one solution, do your have others? Please let me know.
I'm trying to run a psexec command to a remote Windows Server 2003 machine. I run the following command:
psexec \machinename perfmon.msc -u machineadmin -p adminpassword -i -s
The -i and -s flags will allow me to run the GUI for perfmon.msc on the remote machine's desktop interactively.
I get the following error when I try to run the above command:
Couldn't Access machinename
Access denied
I'm using psexec version 1.94 and I'm certain that the machinename, user, and password are correct. Does anyone know if there are known issues with psexec on Windows Server 2003 and whether or not there is a fix?
[This question would be better fit for ServerFault.com, but nevertheless...]
A few suggestions:
Use two slashes before the machinename e.g. \\machinename (maybe that's what you meant the StackOverflow escaped the backslash)
*.MSC files are not usually directly executable remotely--you'll want to give the path to "c:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe" and then the parameters
All parameters for psexec should go before the remote program and its parameters.
Is there really a reason to run the process as the System account ('-s') instead of just Administrator?
All together, it should look something like this:
psexec \\machinename -i -u machineadmin -p adminpassword "c:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe" "perfmon.msc"
Are you connecting as an admin to the remote machine? The error says 'access denied'. You may not have the necessary privileges. Try connecting as an admin.
