File Upload From Putty To A Secured Website

Trying to get my website set up, and not hang myself in the process!!

So, last night I was able to upload my website's DB from my laptop to my VPS using CyberDuck.

Being new to all of this, I uploaded the .sql file to...
Code:

/home/rob123/public_ftp/

Then I used MySQL to install the upload script.

That went well, but now I have this naked script floating around on my VPS!

How can I delete this .sql file and be 100% certain that it is NOT lingering somewhere else on the server, and that it CANNOT be recovered??

(For those of you who have followed my threads, I am *very* worried about files and login credentials and passwords getting stored in places that they shouldn't!!!)


Also, in retrospect I am thinking it wasn't so smart to upload my DB to a public folder like that.

In the future, what is a better way to upload sensitive files to my VPS to maintain complete Privacy and Security??

Oh the stress of it all!!!

Sincerely,


Rob

hi all,
Okay,
I did it, I over-restricted outlook (yes, still have that...) by using the tools meny-page info of that page and disallowing cookies...
I can log in from an other box, so it's the settings on my main box...
Any idead on how to reset some things? Thanks
Thor
Edit - perhaps for clarity, the login page is not the issue, the mailpage is, but, since hotmail does not allow me to access that page (because I disallow cookies) - I cannot reset the permissions. All I need to figure out is how to reset these permissions...
Solved - requires re-enabling the accepting ogf cookies, Mozilla has a page on it too

Hi, I downloaded an ISO linux file for my Vmware it was with a read me file that show the login details into the OS. Now have finished the installation of the ISO on my Vmware but the problem I have is it not accepting the login details that came with the ISO I download.

standard user:

password: password
It not accepting any of it I want to know if I did something wrong or there is master login deatils I can use to get to the desktop.

hello all,

Code:

tester_name = str (socket.gethostname())
def upload(ftp, file):
    ext = os.path.splitext(file)[1]
    if ext in (".txt", ".htm", ".html"):
        ftp.storlines("STOR " + file, open(file))
    else:
        ftp.storbinary("STOR " + file, open(file, "rb"), 1024)



parse_source_path = ('/path/to/where/i/go/')
parse_source_file_list = os.listdir(parse_source_path)

ftp = ftplib.FTP("server_IP")
ftp.login("username", "pass")

folder_list = []

ftp.dir(folder_list.append)

if str(tester_name) not in str(folder_list) :
    ftp.mkd("%s"%tester_name)
    ftp.cwd("%s"%tester_name)
    for files in parse_source_file_list :
        print files
        upload(ftp, files)

Hello, I am new to Linux and I am having difficulty setting up KDE. I have a vps with Debian 7 Wheezy on it and I need to get KDE working on it. The Linux installation from the vps company was very basic...I had to update the packages and install kde and kdm using the apt-get install kde and apt-get install kdm commands. When I type xstart to start the x server I get a message with the version number and other information so I am assuming that it is installed, but at the bottom of the message I have no cursor (I am able to type but when I hit the enter key after entering a command nothing happens) and the # is no longer there so I am unable to continue working. The only way i can get the command prompt and # back is to close Putty and reopen it (then I have to log into the vps all over again). From what I have read online, when I type startx, it should load KDE.

I was able to set the display by using the export DISPLAY=:0.0 command. But when I type startkde I get the message 'No protocol specified" and the next line says DISPLAY not set or unable to connect to xserver.

I have been using Putty to log into the vps, but yesterday I decided to use the web based login utility offered by the vps company. When connecting to the vps in this manner I am presented with a traditional looking login screen (I am assuming it is KDM). The user name that was provided to me from the vps company is 'root' ...well, when I try to login using KDM (the plasma setting) I get an error stating that 'root' logins are not allowed. Considering that the KDM is visible when logging in using the web based utility, I have a feeling that the KDE is also working...but I can't log into it because the user name is 'root' . However, when I use Putty I cant seem to get anything to load and start the way it is supposed to. I would appreciate any help in getting the KDE to work in Putty and the login via the web based utility to accept my username that the vps company gave me. Thank you.
