Trying To Transfer Files Over A Vpn Tunnel

I am using the following command to establish a reverse ssh tunnel with an ssh server

Code:

ssh root@my.hostname.here -R 5001:localhost:22

The server is rebooted every night and the tunnel is established automatically on reboot successfully every time.

What I need to do, is run a check, and if for some reason the tunnel is not established, I want to log it in a log file.

How can I reliably check if the tunnel is up or not?
Keep in mind that other ssh sessions might be active at the time, so I don't want the checking method to pick up any of those successful sessions. It has to check only the tunnel.

Thanks

I have a server sending me a plain text email every day, reporting the below parameters. Its reading them from a text file, and sending them to my email.

How can convert this to a three column html table and send that?

Hi, i am newbie. I have problems to transfer files between Linux to Windows. Here goes mi situation.

I have already install pscp in windows, i tested it typing pscp in command line, its ok. I have read that pscp is primordial to perform the transfers.

The problem is the next: i am located in /root, trying to transfer install.log to c:\temp, doing the next: pscp.exe root@192.168.x.x: /root/install.log c:\temp
and the result is:
-bash: pscp.exe: command not found

I am searching in the internet for a solution but with no success yet. Could you help me please?

Hi,

I have a target board running embedded Linux, and a host PC that runs Ubuntu. I want to be able to transfer files from the host PC to the target board through serial interface, (something like I have a terminal program on the host side that talks to the target, and I issue some command from the terminal to transfer a file to the target, the target receive the file and store it in some RAM location for later), How can I do it?
I know how to do this using ymodem on the host terminal and loady on target's u-boot command prompt, but how can I do it when target is running Linux?

Thank you all,
Wei

How to transfer the file from Windows to Linux server, while using below code I getting issue.

In an attempt to solve another problem (transfer .avi files from a camera to a computer) I uninstalled Tumbler in the terminal via this command:

sudo apt-get remove tumbler

I was unable to transfer the .avi files so I re-installed tumbler in the terminal via this command:

sudo apt-get install tumbler

Joe here helped me find a solution to my transferring the .avi problem so that is no longer an issue, but when I turned my computer on this morning I got a window that said Tumbler had crashed. (see screenshots)

I know Tumbler has to do with thumbnails but I don't know the full scope of how. My thumbnails seem to be working fine as far as I can tell. So am I concerned about the crash, do I do anything about it or just let it go? Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm not quite a newbie having been using Linux for around a year now and think I know some of the basics at least. In the main it does what I want, some things better than they ever did on Window while some things frustratingly more awkward!

I have a load of music files that I'd like to search through and transfer some to the external sd card of my android phone. This was something that was a doddle during my Windows days but seems unbelievably difficult now. Back then I used a media player I loved, Mediamonkey, and could simply drag and drop whichever tracks I wanted, or right click and move to a device that way. Sadly this doesn't work too well with WINE though so is fine on XP through Virtualbox, apart from a lack of USB function.

I'm using Linux Mint 17.1 with a KDE desktop.

When I plug my phone into a USB port, it is recognised straight away as an android phone and I can navigate around it with no problems in Dolphin. I could look for each individual file and transfer them that way but with around 30,000 mp3s the task would take quite some time!

None of the media players I've tried so far recognise the phone or the storage on it.

I've installed Windows XP on Virtualbox and have Mediamonkey on there with all my audio files. I can't seem to get Virtualbox to recognise any USB devices so I can't transfer files that way either.

I find it annoying that, in effect, Android is a variety of Linux yet connectivity between the two is so complicated. Airdroid has been the best way that I've found but that's not an option.

I've been trying for 4 hours now and have got nowhere. If anyone can help I'd be grateful Thanks

hi guys,
i want to transfer my files from linux OS to Windows OS. how can i do that if I forgot my username and password of linux? is it still possible? thanks

i have a few score of files (>50) in fasta format. these work fine in linux os
but i have to send these to a collegue who uses windows. and these files don't open properly in notepad or wordpad. executing save as to windows format does the trick

but i don't want to manually convert all of them

is ther a way i can accomplish conversion of multiple files and saving them in a format of my choosing using say terminal

Running Xubuntu 14.10 (and out of patience). Got a Nikon Coolpix L15 and hooked it up to my Dell Optiplex 170L via a USB cord. The camera icon pops up. I double click on it and get to the photos, but then the whole thing starts bogging down and I can't copy the photos and something crashes. (Not the whole computer.) I'll attach the report. (It's in two screenshots because it didn't fit in one.)

And when it bogged it also gave me an error message window with 'One or more applications are keeping the volume busy. (PID-0)'

And I thought it was kind of treating the camera as a usb drive. When I hovered the cursor over the camera icon it showed:

'Mounted in "gphoto2://[usb:004,002]/"

and it showed:

0 bytes left (0 bytes total)

And there was four photos and a video on the camera.

I checked and was able to download the photos and video on a Windows computer, so I don't think the issue is with the camera or the files.

Because of the 'volume busy' error message I closed out everything on the computer and was still getting the same messages when I tried to transfer.

It seems close to doing it. I can highlight a photo but then it all bogs down and crashes.
