FileZilla Connection Issues

Hello, I have an embedded linux device. I can connect to the device and I can upload or download files. No problem with this. But, at first connection, I want to connect to "/" directory instead of "/root". In the device file system, there are files ssh_config and sshd_config under /etc/ssh directory. I think I have to do something with these files but I don't know what.

I don't exactly know what mean "/root" and "/" directories. I think that the real root directory is "/" directory which is empty but when I connect with filezilla, the "/root" directory is the default so I had to go back to / directory everytime.

Hi all,
i am new to linux, i am using Centos 6. There is some problem in the network settings as i am able to browse internet from a browser but when i am trying to use the terminal (using ping command) for any of the website (say www.google.com) nothing is happening. suppose i want to install some software (like hdf5), when i am using "sudo yum install hdf5" it shows large number of error massages like "error could not connect to the host". It would be a great help if someone provide the solution.
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what happened here, and I find it oddly disturbing that a Putty session from Window could do this, but here is what I did -

I was attempting to open a ssh redirect session from Putty command line on my W7 work PC to my home PC running Ubuntu 14.04. I've done this before with the Putty GUI and had no issues at all, but this time I was using cmd line and it never did connect. I ran this command:
Code:

putty -ssh -D 1080 -P 22 domain.com

The Putty window opened but never connected. I tried twice and when it didn't connect, I gave up and went back to the GUI. I connected with the GUI just fine, but after connecting an SSH session to my Ubuntu server at home, I noticed it was acting odd.

Long story short: It was in a "read-only" mode, saying the file system was read-only. I couldn't run apt-get update or even create a new folder in my Home folder or desktop. I remotely rebooted the machine and it never came back online.

When I got home I checked it, and it told me that Ubuntu had found some errors, and was asking if I wanted to correct them. I said yes and it took a short while, but then finally let me log back in.

After this, the box is about 90-95% back to normal except for a couple of odd things that I don't understand.

The main issue is that my Samba shared drives are no longer working. The fstab file looks the same and can connect to other machines, but nothing can connect back to the Ubuntu box. The folder permissions are correct also. I have a CentOS7 box, a Fedora laptop and a W7 box - none of them can connect to my Ubuntu box. I only run Samba and connect with it, even from Linux boxes, just to make it simple (since Windows is stupid and can't use NFS) - this has always worked in the past. Now for the life of me, I can't figure out why nothing will connect.

Is there a logfile or trouble-shooter I could look at it see what happened? It should be in /var/log somewhere, but I don't know where to start. SSH? Samba? The entire filesystem was read-only for a short while, so is there a FS or System log in /var/log?

I am kinda confused on this one, any help is appreciated.

I have been flailing trying to get a web server running on Fedora 21.

Finally did so.

I have my iptables working (me thinks) as they should. I can connect from my Linux box (local) or from my Mac on the same network/subnet.

Problem is in my "travels" I have somehow trashed my firewall-cmd.

I was adding parameters to it w/o issue. E.G
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
Then restarting firewall-cmd
firewall-cmd --realod

This was all working. I "fixed" my problem with connecting to my web server from other LAN workstations (iptables issues) and was going back to see if all was well. Now when I try to restart I get a:
FirewallD is not running
That from my "reload" command above.

Have I fixed my web server issue or is my world wide open att?

Assistance, as always, greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I just tried upgrading to Linux Mint 17 from version 16, and I obviously did something wrong since when I'm prompted for my password, I get an error message saying "failed to load session cinnamon."

Then there are some error logs which say failed to connect to virtual box kernel service for several lines, then below that "unable to find cinnamon-fullback-mount-helper."

I tried doing ctrl alt f2, but I get a whole bunch of gobbledy gook which I'm unable to copy and paste.

I also tried burning a new DVD-R with Mint 17, but my computer doesn't even read it when I power it on. Otherwise, I would have tried reinstalling the OS.

So any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm at the "install the base packages" of this guide. When I type in the # pacstrap /mnt base command I receive this error:

Code:

error: config parsing exceeded max recursion depth of 10.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root.

Any ideas what it is?

After i've execute $ isql -v database dsn name command i get an error in form:"Floating point exception (core dumped)". My comp is Lenovo with 64b AMD processor and my OS is Ubuntu 15.04. As a noobie i suppose the error is in my libmyodbc.so driver. Any advice will be a ppreciated.

Using a Kingston 4GB datatraveler for drive creation
Created using amd64 1.1.0a of the Kali ISO verified from Kali.org
Drive created using Ubuntu 14.04 on a Dell Latitude E5500

dd seems to create the drive with no errors. The drive boots to the error. Hard reboot into Ubuntu to search for solution has led me to a long series of issues that I have been trying to correct.

A possible fix for the failed to load error is to copy the file to the root of the USB drive (/dev/sdb1). Drive is created with a hidden HPFS/ NTFS fs. 0x17. Changed FS to HPFS/NTS (0x07). Drive now mounts, but when attempting to copy onto drive, I get an error that the file system is read only.

I try to correct the issue using nautilus and the properties menu. It does not allow me to change the view only to read/write even though it shows me as the owner.

I think maybe a command line thing would work, or who knows what else. Maybe an fstab entry? I am continuing to search the web, and hope to work this out.

Any help would be appreciated.
