I have a set of machines, a mixture of Linux and Windows Boxes.
I hav set up rsync to pull from the Linux Machines to a Linux Server box.
I am trying to accomplish the same using cwRsync, to pull to the Linux box from the windows machines. I have downloaded the free version from https://www.itefix.no/i2/content/cwrsync-free-edition and also I have downloaded CopSSH. I have managed to install CopSSH fine and I am able to SSH between the Linux and Windows hosts no problem using keys rather than passwords.
However, for the life of me I can't get this cwRsync working, I've googled the matter to death, and your meant to unzip the directory, configure the environment settings in the batch file then install it. However, there is nothing to install it with! and the reason it isn't working is because it needs to install a windows service for it to run.
Any help would be much appreciated!
As described at itefix web page for the free edition, it allows to initiate rsync from your Windows machine, i.e. client functionality only (push data). Server functionality allowing you to set up an rsync server on Windows to pull data from it is not a part of the free edition.

I am working on automating the installation of a custom, in-house software using Ansible on a windows host. During the automation process I have found that one of the msi installers is broken and as a result have to be run interactively on the machine.
I want to trigger the process to run interactively on the machine so the installation completes properly.
The challenge is to open a RDP session from Linux to the windows host to enable this to happen. I am using WSL.
I would like to keep the number of additional dependencies to a minimum.
I have a project kept in Git repository which is compiled on a huge Linux server. Currently, I connect using SSH to the Linux server, modify the files there and then run commands to compile and execute it.
Everything is done in command line which is really painfull and I would like to use an IDE on my Windows machine which can connect to the remote Linux machine using SSH. I just need the IDE for file modification, auto complete and similar stuff, function resolution etc. I don't need to be able to compile or debug through IDE.
Mounting using Samba or Sshfs is out of the question because it is too slow. I need speed. If I click save, it needs to be save. Autocomplete should work like locally, it should work as though the files are on my machine most of the time.
Can somebody recommend an IDE which this qualities and information on how to set it up.
Thanks
The best thing that worked out for me is Unison. You have to have two copies of Unison, one on Windows client and one on remote Linux. You checkout the repository on the remote and then run Unison to synchronize the remote copy to your local. It connects to remote through ssh. Every time file is changed both locally or remotely, the other side gets updated instantly. Works well on slow connections.
You can then use your favorite IDE and work locally. The only quirt is that Unison must be same version and compiled with same Ocaml version (in my case Unison 2.48.4 with OCaml 4.0.4.). I had to compile it manually for Linux and for Windows I downloaded provided binary.
I have searched the questions and have not found an answer to this one:
I am developing an existing project (git repo) that runs only on Linux. For the time being I have at my disposal only a windows laptop which I cannot modify. This laptop has Intellij installed and internet access. I cannot, for example, create a Linux VM on this laptop.
Is there a way I can put the project code on an Amazon ec2 Linux instance and build the project on that instance, while viewing and developing the code in Intellij? All compilation and code execution has to be done remotely, on the ec2 Linux instance. I cannot build locally and push from the windows laptop.
2 possible configurations might be:
(1) install intellij on the ec2 instance and x-window in from windows to view the intellij screens;
(2) use the intellij on the Windows laptop and somehow point the intellij to the ec2 instance in order to view, edit, build, and run the project on that instance.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
ec2 with enough memory for development is billed / hour. For 32gb RAM it's >$80/month (always online ~450h).
You could use wls 2 under windows. You can install IDEA and use it trough X server like
VcXsrv and access to windows files. It's not the best idea to run full GNOME (even xfce4). Google chrome also works very well
Downsides are:
(still) slow access to drive compared to raw Linux
I cannot configure WSL to access same VPN as in Windows. It simply cuts off internet connection for WSL while I click connect in windows.
Over the last few days I got vnc to a GCE Linux vm working. Moral of the story: forget gnome, go with xfce.
Got Google Chrome installed from command line. I'm attempting to install Talend Open Studio on the vm, but navigating the website is miserable via vnc.
Has anyone figured a way to apt-get install TalendStudio? I don't think it exists so looking for the closest to it.
You can browse and download TOS to the physical machine as where the VM resides . Then, you could use SCP / SFTP to transfer the TOS file to the VM .
Some VM packages allow sharing a folder between the physical machine and VMs. That would also allow easy transfer of the file to the VM.
I have a working copy of a repository on a Windows web server. If I update/commit the working copy using TortoiseSVN (1.7.6) or the command line (version 1.7.8) "svn update" on my Windows PC I have no problems.
However if I am on my Linux Subversion server (where the repository lives), accessing the working copy through a CIFS mount, without fail within 10 updates/commit the file .svn/wc.db will have become corrupted. Sometimes it is with the message
svn: E200030: sqlite: database disk image is malformed" and sometimes it is a message like "svn: E155010: Pristine text 'd9a9a3ee5e6b4b0d35bfef95601890afd80709' not present
I can clean up the corruption every time it occurs, but clearly I don't want to keep having to do that - I am struggling to work out the cause of the problem.
My Linux Subversion server is also using version 1.7.8. What could be causing the problem?
It is probably because the internal representation of the files or in the database are slightly [or much] different on a Linux and a Windows machine. Make your own copy on the Linux machine, and commit from that into the central repo, then pull it down on your windows machine.
In general, it's never a good idea to access the same copy of a version controlled repository from two different machines.
I use SVN for web work, and that's how I work - I do nearly all my work on a Linux machine, but I do have a repo on my windows laptop.
