Need Better Upload Strategy

->Need to upload a file from Unix box(Putty) to a website.

->Tried Wget and curl to upload a file to that website, when ever i am trying to fire the command its redirecting to Login page.

->for this purpose i have used cookies option to pass the Login information next time, but its giving empty cookie file and returning entire HTML page.

->used various options like redirecting,load cookies, for wget and curl, but everything is going in vain.

->Normally browser login process for that website is :

1.Login page www.example1.com/login and provide username and password
2.redirected to another URL www.example2.asp and after clicking on a folder icon.
3.it is getting redirected to another URL www.example3.com/folders.do?id=12433434324

i have to upload the file in the third URL and to a particular folder in that page, folders are containing different ids.

Please share your knowledge on this and provide solution as best as you can ,thanks

hello all,

please help me with python ftplib. i was trying to copy files from my linux machine to a windows server using ftplib. everything was working good. but i'm only able to copy files from the same directory the script is. how do i copy files from a different directory? i always get "file not found error message". here's my code :

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)


else :
    print "later"

I can't believe I wrote a looong message and it logged me out when I tried to submit it.

So anyway, in short lines:

- I have a network of sites where all sites share same "images" folder
- I have created /home/_images/entities and symlinked it from all websites
- It works great with Apache, when I open /images/ on any of the sites I get list of images and can view them

The problem is suPHP which changes process ID of the PHP script to the file owner ID, so when I load site1.com, all scripts are executed as user1 (and files/folders created with those scripts belong to user1:user1). When I load site2.com, all scripts are executed as user2 (and files/folders created with those scripts belong to user2:user2). All these users do NOT belong to the same group, and I wouldn't like to change that as it is cPanel/WHM server so I'm afraid I'll screw something up if I change (primary?) group of all users.

Therefore I need to set it up in such way that all newly created folders and files under /home/_images/entities (owned by root) have read/write permissions for everyone.

Here's the command I used:

Code:

setfacl -Rdm o::rwx /home/_images/entities

To check it:
Code:

root@server1 [~]# getfacl /home/_images/entities/
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: home/_images/entities/
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:other::rwx

This looks fine, however when I try upload an image via site1.com it looks like this:

Code:

root@server1 [/home/_images/entities]# ls -l
total 24
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 root    root    4096 Jan 14 06:25 ./
drwxrwxrwx  5 root    root    4096 Jan 12 13:08 ../
drwxrwxr-x+ 3 user1   user1   4096 Jan 14 06:25 1/

And in folder "1" is the image (and thumbs folder):

Code:

root@server1 [/home/_images/entities/1]# ls -l
total 236
drwxrwxr-x+ 3 user1   user1     4096 Jan 14 06:25 ./
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 root    root      4096 Jan 14 06:25 ../
-rw-rw-rw-  1 user1   user1   225569 Jan 14 06:25 689048f221ab7c556f4d482a9d92b2d6.jpg
drwxrwxr-x+ 2 user1   user1   4096 Jan 14 06:25 thumbs/

My questions:

1) Why newly created folders do not have "write" permissions for everyone else [not user and/or group]? If I upload first image from site1.com, then I can't upload other images from any other site, while all sites can display them.

2) What is the + at the end of permissions list? (drwxrwxr-x+)

3) Why newly created files have only "rw" permissions for user, group AND everyone else, and not execute permissions? I don't actually need execute flag set here, but from my command you can see I've set "o::rwx" so it should be there (or not?)

Actually the real problem is #1 - other users can't write to this folder so users can't upload images from other sites nor other sites can create (missing) thumbnails.

Hello
I have a zip file on my home/jaydul/file.zip
I want upload it my remote FTP Server.
Like IP: 123.125.25.1
user: userftp
Pass: ftppass

How to do via terminal.I don't wanna via Ftp client.only via terminal command.

Ok so, i want to create a SFTP/FTP account, that has access to edit/delete/move/upload/download files inside its homefolder and to all the other files/folders that are inside the homefolder.
The account should not be able to go back from the homefolder, like if the home folder is /home/servers it cannot go back to /home..
And the account should not be able to login to SSH.
Please help me.. i need to get this working...
I'm using CentOS 6.6 64bit
I've followed multiple tutorials, none of them have worked.

Hello,

OS: CentOS 6.3

Background:
I'm trying to set up a situation where my FTP account is in a group where my phpbb forums were created. This will allow me to upload changes as I customize my forums (ie: .css files). However, right now, my problem is that I'm running into invalid permissions and the only way to move the files is to upload the file to a directory my FTP account has access too and then sudo cp the file over. Upon closer inspection of my files, it appears the groups the files have been made under are not the correct group.

Problem:
I am trying to use chgrp on a specific file to change the group owner to the group my FTP account is a member of but it does not seem to be working. Here is a snippet of what I'm doing:

Code:

zzz@aaaa:/var/www/html/yyy/forums/styles/GlossyBlack/theme]$ sudo chgrp apache colours.css -v
group of `colours.css' retained as apache
zzz@aaaa:/var/www/html/yyy/forums/styles/GlossyBlack/theme]$ ls
total 164
drwxr-xr-x 3 5645316 apache  4096 Mar 27 15:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 5645316 apache  4096 Nov 18  2012 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1  root     apache 23480 Mar 27 19:05 colours.css

I'm not sure why it still says root so I suspect I am doing something incorrect. When looking around, at first it seemed chgrp could change group owner on files but as I dug more, it seemed it can also change groups themselves. So I'm a little confused and require some clarity of experts.

I hope changing the group owner of this file will give access to my FTP account so I can apply this change to all needed locations.

Thanks.

Hello,

I generated and uploaded a public key through SSH Client software to our dedicated server. It works fine from the computer I have generated.

My laptop windows become corrupt and I downloaded this key from my email that is attached previously.

Now I am trying to import in SSH Client but its throwing error that unable to read this key file

Can I generate public key from our dedicated server and upload as attachment in my email so that whenever I want I can use and access our server from any machine?

Please advise

Thanks in anticipation

Hello,

I am setting up a linux server for gaming and I am using a script to update the files automatically and create a folder with a certain name.

Code:

# !/bin/bash

# A convenience function, to save us some work
update_server() {
	# Read the app id and the directory into a variable

	APP_ID=$1
	DIR=$2

	# Create the directory ( if it does not exist already )
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		mkdir -p "$HOME/$DIR"
	fi

	# Uh-oh, it looks like we still have no directory. Report an error.
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		# Describe what went wrong
		echo "ERROR! Cannot create directory $HOME/$DIR!"

		# Exit with status code 1 ( which indicates an error )
		exit 1
	fi

	# Call SteamCMD with the app ID we provided and tell it to install
	./bin/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "$HOME/$DIR" +app_update $APP_ID validate +quit
}

# Now the script actually runs update_server ( which we just declared above ) with the id of the application ( 4020 is Garry's Mod ) and the name of the directory we want the server to be hosted from:

update_server 4020 "gmodserver"

exit 0

When I run this script, it creates 2 folders on my server : gmodserver and gmodserver? There is no files downloaded in gmodserver. All the files are downloaded in gmodserver?

I looked for a few hours on how to solve this problem but I have no idea what the added ? might be so I am lost as to what to look for. Could you help me on figuring this out?

Thank you.

edit : I am using ubuntu 15.04 x64 if it makes a difference.

 find /ahome/xxx/$FOLDER -type d -mtime +25  -exec ls -ld {} \;  -exec rm -rf {} \;  >> mylogfile.log

after running this command it deletes the folder and logs the folder deleted. But also print error msg
Code:

find: /ahome/prksh/dir/test: No such file or directory

How to suppress the error msg
