I want to copy file from Azure Linux VM to local Windows PC. Actually I remember, I could do this perfectly with the same command but now when I run the cmd it shows message as 100% done but when I go to tmp directory, I dont see the file there.
Here is the cmd I give on Linux VM:
scp -r mlopenedx#138.91.116.170:/edx/var/log/tracking/tracking.log /tmp/
And this is output I get:
tracking.log 100% 70KB 70.0KB/s 00:00
But when I see tmp folder I dont see the file.Can any on suggest me the answer.
I have tried things like: giving Home folder ~/ instead of /tmp/.
Also tried below cmd:
sudo scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa mlopenedx#MillionEdx:/edx/var/log/tracking/tracking.log /tmp/
The easiest way to do this is to run pscp from windows like this:
pscp mlopenedx#LINUXVMIP:/edx/var/log/tracking/tracking.log c:/someExistingFolder/tracking.log
to have pscp command you need to install PuTTY.
your command looks wrong as one of the paths needs to be Windows valid path C:/Folder/Folder/File.ext. If you are executing that command from Linux VM and 138.91.116.170 is your Linux vm IP address than you are copping files locally - you can try finding your log file on that linux in \tmp\ folder. In order for that to work from remote Linux to local Windows you would need public IP for your windows or some sort of tunnel that would allow this connection.
Also you are adding -r recursive copy and you are pointing to file.
I am trying to setup a script that will:
Connect to a windows share
Using LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE, upload the two files into their appropriate db tables
Umount share
Situation:
I can currently vpnc into this remote machine
Problem:
I cannot
mount -t cifs //ip.address/share /mnt/point -o username=u,password=p,port=445
mount error(110) Connection timed out
I am attempting to do this manually first
Remote server is open to port 445
Questions:
Do I even need to vpnc in first?
Do I need to do route add for the remote ip/mask/gw after vpnc?
Thank you!
The mount.cifs file is provided by the samba-client package. This can be installed from the standard CentOS yum repository by running the following command:
yum install samba samba-client cifs-utils
Once installed, you can mount a Windows SMB share on your CentOS server by running the following command:
Syntax:
mount.cifs //SERVER_ADDRESS/SHARE_NAME MOUNT_POINT -o user=USERNAME
SERVER_ADDRESS: Windows system’s IP address or hostname
SHARE_NAME: The name of the shared folder configured on the Windows system
USERNAME: Windows user that has access to this share
MOUNT_POINT: The local mount point on your CentOS server
I am mounting to a share from \\10.11.10.26\snaps
Make a directory under mount for your reference
mkdir /mnt/mymount
Now I am mounting the snaps folder from indiafps02, User name is the Domain credentials, i.e. Mydomain in this case
mount.cifs //10.11.10.26/snaps /mnt/mymount -o user=Girish.KG
Now you could see the content by typing
ls /mnt/mymount
So, after performing your task, just fire umount command
umount /mnt/mymount
That's it. You are done.
no need to install "samba" and "samba-client", only "cifs-utils" using command
yum install cifs-utils
after that in windows share the folder you would like to mount in centos if you didn't do that already ("c:\interpub\wwwroot" in my case).
make sure you share it with a specific username whom your know the password for ("netops" in my case).
create a directory in centos in which you would like to mount the windows share in to ("/mnt/cm" in my case).
after that run that simple command as a root
mount.cifs //10.16.0.160/wwwroot /mnt/cm/ -o user=netops
centos will prompt you for the windows username password.
you are done.
I am developing with Xampp for Linux and Tomcat (similar to Xampp on Windows). Many programs like /IDEA, Tomcat and Xampp are recommended to be installed under /opt Now I have heard that it is not recommended to run services as root, but on Ubuntu (I am using this) unpacking any directory to /opt implies that it belongs to root owner and root group. This may be specific to Xampp as per the instructions on their Linux page:
Step 2: Installation After downloading simply type in the following commands:
Go to a Linux shell and login as the system administrator root:
su
Extract the downloaded archive file to /opt:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.8.1.tar.gz -C /opt
Warning: Please use only this command to install XAMPP. DON'T use any Microsoft Windows tools to extract the archive, it won't work.
Warning 2: already installed XAMPP versions get overwritten by this command.
That's all. XAMPP is now installed below the /opt/lampp directory.
* Step 3: Start To start XAMPP simply call this command:
/opt/lampp/lampp start
Placing it here implies that Apache must be run as root as one is only able to run it with sudo on Ubuntu.
This may be an issue specific to Ubuntu. Is it? Because Xampp is a development tool I posted this here as I am more likely to find an appropriate answer here from developers who use it on Ubuntu (and other Linux systems). I would appreciate any information on if the same problem occurs on other systems, I notice my production environment has Tomcat installed in /opt too, but belongs to tomcat: tomcat
The question here is how to get around this for all tools under /opt, because even though Xampp may not be the tool for my needs, I still want to place Tomcat under /opt to replicate my production environment and the same thing will surely happen unless this is just a Ubuntu issue?
Ubuntu and some other distributions differ to the general Linux principle where the account that you create upon install of the OS is added to specific groups that can be viewed with the following command:
groups username
You will notice that root is not amongst these. It is also not possible to log in or su to the root account. sudo is most likey a command that has been granted permission to be used from other accounts so I imagine the 'sudo' command has a file permission of 775 for user: root:root
Thus launching services from /opt' does not run them asroot`
I'm a newbie in linux. I installed Fedora 16 OS as guest in virtualbox on Window 7. Now, I want to access share folder from Fedora. Here is something I did:
Install guest addtion [OK]
Make share folder link to virtualbox [OK]. Share folder path in Window 7: D:\share_folder_vm
In terminal program in fedora, I just run some commands:
[hoangphi#localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root#localhost hoangphi]# cd Desktop/
[root#localhost Desktop]# mkdir share_folder
[root#localhost Desktop]# sudo mount -t vboxsf D:\share_folder_vm \share_folder
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error
[root#localhost Desktop]#
I got this message: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error
share_folder_vm is the folder in Win7 Host and share_folder is the folder in Fedora Guest.
My question: How can I fix this problem?
Install Oracle Guest Additions:
[host-hotkey (usually right Ctrl)] + [d],
Then:
sudo /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.*/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
You can now enjoy:
A guest that can run at native screen resolution
Ability to share files between host and guest
Share the clipboard (allowing you to copy and paste between host and guest).
To share folders set them up to be shared. Consider the permissions. Note that the host file permissions are transient. IOW if you can't write to file on host, the guest can't either.
After setting up the file to be shared create a destination if you don't have one:
mkdir -p ~/destination
Now mount it under the name you configured it with:
sudo mount -t vboxsf myFileName ~/destination
As an extra tip you can really exploit this feature to do things like:
- Use guest subversion client to create repository to mounted directory (you won't have a full svn client but the repo can be used in an IDE on the host).
- I personally use my guest to download and unpack binaries like Tomcat to a targeted mount. Yes you can use Linux to install things on Windows!
To unmount all shares:
sudo umount -f -a -t vboxsf
This thread has some great tips. However....
#GirishB's answer isn't correct - sorry. Jartender's is best.
Also, every post in here seems to assume you're logging in to the Linux guest as root, except for #tomoguisuru. Yuck! Don't use root, use a separate user account and "sudo" when you need root privileges. Then this user (or any other user who needs the shared folder) should have membership in the vboxsf group, and #tomoguisuru's command is perfect, even terser than what I use.
Forget running mount yourself. Set up the shared folder to auto mount and you'll find the shared folder - it's under /media in my OEL (RH and Centos probably the same). If it's not there, just run "mount" with no arguments and look for the mounted directory of type vboxsf.
For accessing a shared folder, YOU have to have "Oracle VM extension pack" installed.
Look at the bottom of this link, you can download it from there.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html
I just figured. You need to add a shared folder using VirtualBox before you access it with the guest.
Click "Device" in the menu bar--->Shared File--->add a directory and name it
then in the guest terminal, use:
sudo mount -t vboxsf myFileName ~/destination
Dont directly refer to the host directory
There's a simpler way I found when running Linux Mint.
Ensure you install the Guest Additions from the command line and that you have the folder(s) shared with "automount" and "make permanent" settings selected within "Shared Folders" tab of the Machine Settings
Launch the User management application from Application/Settings/System Setting/ menu selection (requires sudo) from within the Mint menu
In the "Privileges and Groups" tab, check the box next to the "vboxsf" group, and then apply and ok your way back out.
Any user within the vboxsf group has full access to any shared folders on each boot with no manual mounting or unmounting
I usually do the following in addition to the above just to have quick access
Open the Dolphin file manager and navigate to /media/
Right-Click on the shared folder and click "Add to Places"
You probably need to change your mount command from:
[root#localhost Desktop]# sudo mount -t vboxsf D:\share_folder_vm \share_folder
to:
[root#localhost Desktop]# sudo mount -t vboxsf share_name \share_folder
where share_name is the "Name" of the share in the VirtualBox -> Shared Folders -> Folder List list box. The argument you have ("D:\share_folder_vm") is the "Path" of the share on the host, not the "Name".
May be this can help other guys:
I had the same problem, and after looking with Google I found that can be because of the permissions of the folder... So, you need first to add permissions...
$ chmod 777 share_folder
Then run again
$ sudo mount -t vboxsf D:\share_folder_vm \share_folder

VirtualBox version has many uncompatibilities with Linux version, so it's hard to install by using "Guest Addition CD image". For linux distributions it's frequently have a good companion Guest Addition package(equivalent functions to the CD image) which can be installed by:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms
After that, on the window menu of the Guest, go to Devices->Shared Folders Settings->Shared Folders and add a host window folder to Machine Folders(Mark Auto-mount option) then you can see the shared folder in the Files of Guest Linux.
There is a really simple tuturial here : http://my-wd-local.wikidot.com/otherapp:configure-virtualbox-shared-folders-in-a-windows-ho
telling to do:
sudo mkdir /mnt/vbox_share
sudo mount.vboxsf nameAddesAsShared /mnt/vbox_share
These are the steps to share a folder from Windows to Linux Virtual Box
Step 1 : Install Virtual Box Extension Pack from this link
Step 2: Install Oracle Guest Additions:
By pressing -> Right Ctrl and d together
Run the command
sudo /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.*/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Step 3 : Create Shared Folder by Clicking Settings in Vbox
Then Shared Folders -> + and give a name to the folder (e.g. VB_Share)
Select the Shared Folder path on Windows (e.g. D:\VBox_Share)
Step 4: Create a folder in named VB_share in home\user-name (e.g. home\satish\VB_share) and share
mkdir VB_Share
chmod 777 VB_share
Step 5: Run the following command
sudo mount –t vboxsf vBox_Share VB_Share
I am trying to setup a local Fedora repository in a local LAN network.
Unfortunately I cannot run rsync in daemon mode because I'm behind a firewall on which I have no control.
Could anyone guide me on how to setup rsync using shell?
I tried the mirrors in http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist , I get prompted for passwords. I thought these were supposed to be anonymous access. What am I doing wrong?
Lets say I want to create a local repository for Fedora 13 i386 os, what command would I need to issue on my local system?
Thanks in advance.
The mirrors on the website you linked should all be standard rsync:// mirrors without any passwords
Example:
mkdir os updates
rsync -av rsync://fedora.mirror.netriplex.com/Fedora/releases/13/Everything/i386/os/ os/
rsync -av rsync://fedora.mirror.netriplex.com/Fedora/updates/13/i386/ updates/
If you use cobbler, it will make sure the repositories are up to date for you so long as you cron a "cobbler sync".
