[clamav-users] clamdscan streaming over TCP

[Olliver Schinagl via clamav-users]

Hey all,

I'm trying to scan a files (email, so not huge load) over my_internal_  LAN.

I have a dockerized clamd running on hostA, and on hostB, I can run
clamdtop hostA, and get the expected output.

However, from within the same container that I just started clamdtop, I
can't do the same with clamdscan. There is no argument to specify the
host, or it is not in the `--help`. Also it is all hidden i n the
documentation, even though it suggests that this SHOULD be possible.

I'll look into the clamav-milter next, but still curious if this is
possible at all, while testing this.

Thanks,
Olliver

Maybe this is helpfull, I have this in some old docs for client side testing.

cat < /tmp/clam-remote.conf
TCPSocket 3310
TCPAddr clamav.local
EOF

clamdscan -c /tmp/clam-remote.conf --fdpass --stream '/tmp/clam-remote.conf'

Perfect, thanks!


I suppose I'll create a ticket for the missing feature (this is a bit 
cumbersome in the end of course). I briefly looked at how clamdtop does 
it; and there's quite a lot of (possible shareable) code there!!

Re: [clamav-users] Fwd: Query re Windows and adding Clamav to the system "environmental variables"

[Fergus Courtney via clamav-users]

I managed to fix the issue. Under System -> Advanced System Settings ->
Environment Variables, I edited the 'Path' system environment variable and
added the following text at the beginning of the string, using a semi-colon
as the required separator: 'C:\Program Files\ClamAV'. Now, 'clamscan.exe'
and 'freshclam.exe' work as expected when I enter them into the Command
Prompt or the Command Line Interpreter. I had mistakenly added the text
'C:\Program Files\ClamAV' to the 'ComSpec' variable area, which caused my
issue. I apologize for wasting your time; I'm not the most proficient
Windows user or fan. I also thought about whether this functionality would
be useful to others and if it should be added to the online documentation
page at docs.clamav.net. Just a thought.
