[techtalk] ssh file transfer

[David Merrill]

Hi,

I know there is supposed to be a way to transfer files from one
computer to another once I have an ssh connection set up, but the man
page is very vague.

Can anyone give me some pointers or point me to some docs?

Thanks,

You want the "scp" feature (Secure CoPy). Use it like this:

scp filename.tar.gz james@bigbox:/home/james/

"man scp" will give you more information, but here's a quick summary:

scp  

source and destination are user@hostname:path (remote location), or just a
filename.

One caveat: no wildcards!

I use scp and have seen some references to an ssh based mirror program.

There is also sftp which should be documented in the ssh stuff.

and if you're really feeling frisky, you can set up an ssh tunnel, and run ncftp 
(allowing recursive gets and puts! get an entire dir at a time with a -R!) through it. 
 There was a lovely article on how to do this in sys admin magazine, january 2001 
issue, but i can't seem to get to their site sysadminmag.com, to find it.  here's the 
heart of the article though:

"ssh -R 32000:localhost:23 -l jdoe ppp25.den.myisp.com

The command above means: using SSH, map a prot (32000) on the REMOTE server 
(ppp25.den.myisp.com) to my local manchine (you unix workstation at work) port (23) 
and your login to the REMOTE server (ppp25...) as user "jdoe".  If your username on 
your workstation at work is the same as your workstation at home, you can eliminate 
the "-l jdoe" portion of the command.

[snip...]

then on your home mahcine, you can connect back by using 

telnet localhost 32000

You should be presented with a login prompt from you workstation.  I't s okay to use 
telnet here b/c it is being encrypted over the SSH tunnel."


So you could modify this to ftp/ncftp back instead of telnet.

Hey David,
  If using Openssh v2 then:
copying from remote to local
scp -p user@local:/dir/where/file/is /dir/where/file/is/going

copying from local to remote
scp -p /dir/where/file/is user@remote:/dir/where/file/is/going

HTH,
Harry

rsync is one of them. http://rsync.samba.org 
Most distributions install it for you.

[techtalk] Netscape Font Problem

[Phil Savoie]

Hi All,

Sorry about this but I seem to recall a solution as to how to ensure
netscape fonts display properly by switching a line in a file
somewhere.  I can't seem to find that message and was wondering if
someone could help me out with what I would have to do.

Hanging my head in shame,

Phil

[techtalk] Open Source Projects

[A Kozic]

I'm a college student, and I was looking for a part time job, just for the
sake of experience & such. (I can get more money sponging off my mother
when I don't have a job. I love my mom...)

But I was thinking, I'd much rather code at home in sweats for free
than get dressed up, drive somewhere in the car I don't have, and code for
money. So, Open Source.

Any advice for a Linux/GNU newbie, with good C++/Java skills and some time
on her hands?

Hi Alison,

you might want to have a look at the Qt toolkit: since you are planning
to do Free Software it won't cost you a dime, see the information
on license and technic published here:

  http://doc.trolltech.com/

and feel free to meet me and a lot of other enthusiasts on the Qt-interest
mailing list, see

  http://qt-interest.trolltech.com/

Hope you will love Qt as much as I do!  :-)

It will enable you to join the highly motivated community of KDE hackers,
please see yourself:

If you don't have anything really specific, you probably want to
contribute to an existing project.

First, find something that you'd be interested in working on, such as
a program you use or a project working on something that interests
you.  http://www.sourceforge.net is a good place to look for early
stage projects.

Second, get a feel for what the project is like, what they're working
on at the moment, etc.  Check out TODO lists (either on the web site
or in file included with the source distribution).  Read the developer
mailing list.  Take a look at the code to see if the style and quality
is something you want to work with.

Once you've picked something, join the developer mailing list, and
send a message to briefly introduce yourself and tell them what you'd
like to work on.

Make sure you know how to use cvs, patch, etc.

(if you're interested in working on multiplayer online roleplaying
games, the project I occasionally work on, Worldforge (site at
http://www.worldforge.org) is always looking for people to work on a
bunch of different types of things)

Hrmmm

How much do you know about e-mail protocols (SMTP, IMAP, POP3) and
non-blocking I/O? (I have the beginnings of an idea which might turn into
a reasonable open source project...)
