Not Readable Name Of Directory In Linux Mint 13

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.

This should be an easy fix and I'm at a loss. I have a directory with 777 permissions on it and currently any directories created inside it default to

drwx--S---

I need to remove the sticky bit and also set any new directory to be readable by group X. How can I do this?

I want to append lines after a match in a file.

##file name is ssl.conf
##match is this

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>

after above line i need to append these lines

<Directory "/">
SSLRenegBufferSize 26215000
</Directory>

so final results should be like this

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>

<Directory "/">
SSLRenegBufferSize 26215000
</Directory>

######Thank You in Advance

Stupid question i know. I am trying to install some brother printer drivers and following the instructions it states that i must change to the directory where the file is stored by using the following command line "cd /home/(loginname)/downloads"

this comes back with unkown directory. When i use DIR the directory is there but it will not allow me to access it?

This has worked before. I have been using linux now for a few years and never had this problem before. It must be something stupid that I am doing.

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.

I copied the following from my linux console.

grep -lr "SMTP" *.ini
grep: *.ini: No such file or directory

I wanted to search recursively under current location in files with extenstion .ini
Actually there are files that contain "SMTP" under this directory. But I got the above error message.
What is wrong? I am using centos 6.

Thanks,

I want to create a simple bash function (in .bashrc) that takes in one parameter (a directory name) and tars all the files inside of that directory into a specific directory in /home (we'll call that destdir). The name of the tar should be the same as the directory parameter.

For example, I want to be able to type into the terminal "task directory_name".

I tried this but it didn't work:

Code:

function_name() {
   cd $1
   tar czf /~/destdir/$1.tar *

   return 0
}
alias task=function_name

What am I doing wrong?

I need to use `ssh` to send command to different computers to run programs. Can I define a variable of `Directory` and `program` in front of this shell script? Then, I do not need to write them every time? The following is my shell script.

`host_list=("c15-0330-10.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-11.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-12.ad.mtu.edu")`
`# I have multiple programs`
`# program=c("L_1","L_2","L_3")`
`ssh -f "${host_list[0]}" 'set Directory="/home/campus27/zwang10/Desktop/AWRR/program/power/vmodel_1/nprot/K_10"; cd $Directory && nohup Rscript L_1.R> L_1_sh.txt;echo "The job L_1 is finished" |mutt "zwang10@mtu.edu" -s "The job L_1 is finished"';
ssh -f "${host_list[1]}" 'set Directory="/home/campus27/zwang10/Desktop/AWRR/program/power/vmodel_1/nprot/K_10"; cd $Directory && nohup Rscript L_2.R> L_2_sh.txt;echo "The job L_2 is finished" |mutt "zwang10@mtu.edu" -s "The job L_2 is finished"';
ssh -f "${host_list[2]}" 'set Directory="/home/campus27/zwang10/Desktop/AWRR/program/power/vmodel_1/nprot/K_10"; cd $Directory && nohup Rscript L_3.R> L_3_sh.txt;echo "The job L_3 is finished" |mutt "zwang10@mtu.edu" -s "The job L_3 is finished"';`

Hi all. I am tweaking my php.ini file and I do not understand the bolded text below...

http://phpsec.org/projects/phpsecinf...d_tmp_dir.html
Quote:
upload_tmp_dir

Test Description
Checks if the current upload_tmp_dir is a world readable or writable folder, and if it matches the common UNIX system temp directory.

Security Implications
upload_tmp_dir allows you to specify where uploaded files should be saved until the handling script moves them to a more permanent location. If this file is within the document root of the web site and/or accessible to system users other than PHP's user, it could be modified or overwritten while PHP is processing it. By default upload_tmp_dir is set to the system's standard temporary directory, which can typically be accessed by all system users.

Recommendations
Set upload_tmp_dir to a folder that is:
- outside the document root of your web site
- not readable or writable by any other system users

You can set upload_tmp_dir in the php.ini file:

; Set upload_tmp_dir to a safe location
upload_tmp_dir = /var/www/foo.bar/sessions

The setting can also be applied in apache's httpd.conf file, or an .htaccess file:

# Set upload_tmp_dir to a safe location
php_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/foo.bar/sessions

Questions:
1.) What does the bolded text mean, and how do I do that?

**NOTE: I don't have VPS Root access, and am hoping this can be done using my regular account via SSH.

2.) Where would be a safe place to put these temporary files?

Sincerely,


Rob

Dear all,

This is long story cut short, with vsftp, if i set this parameters in the vsftp.conf file below

Code:

local_enable=YES
chroot_local_users=YES

I am able to login to the ftp account, see and list my home/user directory, and if i do a cd / or cd .. , i will still be chroot to my /home/user directory.

without, the need to chmod or or chown anything to my /home/user directory

=============================================

With openSSH, internal_sftp, even though I have set the sshd_conf to

Code:

Match user alankoh
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp
ChrootDirectory /home/%u

I will need to change owner my /home/user directory to have root becomes it owner.
============================================

Q1) why this difference ? How does vsftp chroot without changing the /home/user folder ownership ?

Q2) i realize that openssh ChrootDirectory parameter causes my default login directory to be set as that of the parameter.
(e.g. if i set to "/whatever/xyz", i will be brought to that /whatever/xyz everytime i login to the sftp instead of my /home/user folder.

Why ? I thought that ChrootDirectory is just a security measure to specify the directory to go to in case the user cd to root (e.g. cd /), else not, i should still go to my /home/user folder everytime i login to sftp.

Noob
