I am unable to find how to resume file transfor via sftp and command line:
I use PUT command to upload file, but when connections fails and I start again, the transfer starts from its beginning - how could I made it to check the uploaded part and then resume?
I'm looking for a relatively cheap shared host, but I'm having trouble finding one with SSH/SFTP transfers. Everyone has FTP, but my concern is that FTP itself is not secure. I was reminded of this recently: http://www.43folders.com/2008/07/14/dump-ftp. Wikipedia documents this as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ftp#Security_problems. So with FTP, my passwords would be transmitted in the clear. (If I'm wrong, please correct me!)
I've been looking at Godaddy or 1&1*. 1&1 has a plan with SSH access that's about twice the cost of the plan I'm looking at. I'm not sure it's worth double the cost.
I'm to the point where I think I've overthought the variety of hosts, but in my estimation it's an important feature. Does anyone (dis)agree that it's important? Any other ideas of hosts?
*I was looking seriously at Bluehost also until I read some of their recent shenanigans here; thanks to everyone here for discussing their problems!
Also, to avoid the inevitable question of what I'm looking for in a host:
100 GB of space
1000 GB of bandwidth/month
Linux-based server
Apache server
10 MySQL databases
PHP (preferably 5)
Python support
Some sort of control panel interface
Good support reputation, preferably ticket-based and with chat support
Automated or easy Wordpress installation would certainly be nice.
I have it setup and have a user created that can upload files to my website.
The problem that I am running in to is that the files that this user uploads are owned by him not the cpanel website user. Thus when I try to view the page in my browser I get a server 500 error since the site is set to only serve up pages that are owned by the cpanel website user.
When using FTP in the same way we did not have this problem as the file that was uploaded would automatically be owned by the cpanel website user.
How to transfer file from old hosting provider to new hosting provider and zero downtime?
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust moved to a new server, and of course, 10GB doesn't seem that large for a server but for some reason wget is not able to handle the transfer of that backup for me... it transfers about 1MB then tells me "successful transfer..."
The old server is using cPanel, and the new server is just a plain old server that I haven't loaded up yet.
how I can get this full backup over to the new server?
I have a situation here.
I wanted to transfer a file (about 10GB) from one server to another server. Both server are on the same LAN.
Inside server1, I zipped a folder as file.tar.gz
From server2, I uses wget http://server1.com/file.tar.gz and it says "404 Not Found"
I suspect it won't allow me to download because the file is too big.
I am running a large scale business and some time I have to transfer large and very important data files to my business partner. I fear about my data because there are many of my business competitors who will definitely try to steal my important data. So there is huge amount of risk involved in sharing my important data on Internet. I recently heard about secure file transfer technique from my friend who is working in well established software company. Does anyone have any idea about what is Secure File Transfer (SFT) service and how does it work?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to set up my desktop to be kind of a database. So I can access all my files on my home desktop, from school. (and be able to back up all my files on my reliable desktop as opposed to my not so reliable lappy)
Then the next thing I wanted to do is to be able to access my desktop using remote access. So I can control everything on my desktop, while I'm not there.
My laptop is running Vista Home Premium, I dont think that matters too much. But my desktop is running XP Home Edition.
I have a no-ip account. but I dont really know what my next step would be, I'm guessing to make a sort of FTP on my desktop? and I have NO clue how I'd do the remote desktop.
I seem to keep getting this error whenever I try to uploading something thats too large.
It transfers fine for a few mins, then it stalls and eventually I get this error message.
Small files are fine since they don't take long to transfer, it just seems that I can't have a file transferring for too long.
I can actually get the damn file through but since I keep getting that error, I need to keep manually clicking on the transfer button. So it takes about 20 tries before I can finish a 30MB file. And I have a lot of files to transfer so thats very troublesome.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? I tried turning off the firewall and opening ports on my router but it still doesn't work. Using Cute FTP.
Knowing Qoodaa was quite by chance.
A few days ago, my friends studying in America recommended me a new popular transfer tool—Qoodaa. And he told me that it was a quite good software to download files and movies. At first,I was skeptical, but after using it, I found it’s a good choice to choose Qoodaa. And I have summarized the some features of Qoodaa:
1.Its speed is faster than any other softwares I used before to upload movies.
2.It can download files quickly through downloading links, in a word, it is time-saver and with high efficiency.
3.No limit of space.No matter where you are, it can download fast.
4. Qoodaa is a green software with high security and easy use.
It really can give you unexpected surprise.
I am a person who would like to share with others, and if you have sth good pls share with me
I'm using PUTTY SSH right now to a server, and it's taking forever to extracting a 500GB tar.gz file... I need to restart this workstation, is there anyway I can resume my PUTTY SSH session on another workstation without having to restart my extracting process?
View 11 Replies View Relatedhow can i enable upload resume on my server?
i am using PureFTPD 1.0.21
I got a new server and at present it is not allowing resume of disconnected uploads. I remember on my last server I have to add a line on a config file to enable this but for the life of me I cannot remember.
Like this one the server has proftpd.
When using a download manager to download stuff from server, download manager detects server unable to support resume and parallel downloads, is there a way to set the server to allow it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSometime around May I decided to have my website transfered over to zone.net as I outgrew Dreamhost.
Dreamhost, which now offers quite some cool setups (such as pimping up your server by additional ram etc), has kind of "chucked me" off due to excessive CPU use that was triggered by my Wordpress install (running WP-Cache of course).
I was told, I outgrew a shared environment and should opt to either switch to their (at this time) 360$/month plan or get another hosting provider. when asked what to get, I was told "a vps with plenty of ram".
I had a particular setup in mind and was thinking of either joining jaguar pc hosting or zone.net.
What I did like at zone.net at this point was the working live-support. I clicked "live support" - chat now and within seconds I was talking to someone who had a clue and cared about getting me to move over.
I opted zone.net as they promised to set-up my domain(s) in before of moving for free and making the transition happen without any downtime.
It worked this way, I sent my sql databases to them and uploaded a four gig rar-file to third-party server (always handy to have another one at hand). They downloaded everything and setup my VPS with CentOs, plesk and virtuozzo.
From my GoDaddy-domains I know there were plenty of discount codes around- as I couldnt find any for zone.net I blunty asked them if they had a promotion campaign running and if there was a zone.net discount code.
Their honest reply, which I appreciate, was "yes" and I was given the code to discount my setup and monthly fee by 10%. Seeing as I did not find any codes on Google, this was a good catch.
The transfer went smooth and the first weeks passed. Without any trouble, my site(s) ran smoothly, quicker than ever and with no downtime. Thanks to the watchdog module, that one employee installed, services that killed itself were automatically loaded again.
Ever since I moved my site to zone.net it has been growing prosperously with 15,000 visitors daily and increasing. Wordpress and WP-Cache are working smoothly, Permalinks with htaccess are operational, too.
When I had trouble setting up WP-Cache (at one point you have to run a shell command to create a sym-link file), their Live-support helped me out in seconds.
I really liked the free and high-quality support at zone.net and the polite, yet direct employees.
The advantage of "sticking" with a company with a dozen employees is that in due progress you get to know everyone and they get to know you. You dont have to explain your setup and problems all over again, as your setup is known and sending passwords over etc has become obsolete.
Amongst my domains are also two German denic (DE) domains, the setup of them is very annoying, as you have to observe all kinds of regulations (like specific TTL time), different class C ips etc. - zone.net has been so accommodating to setup those different C-class ips for free.
I am quite sure that I would have had to pay additional money at almost every other company.
At my VPS I had Plesk and CentOS running, what I did not know is that you SHOULD not (seriously!) try to update your VPS (plesk) manually.
I pressed "auto-update" under plesk, and the whole vps went into full-out lockup mode. zone.net´s experienced techies had the website up within minutes, but still plesk was unaccessible.
This was the case for a week roughly and I did not receive any email for one week. This really annoyed me, but who to blame? It was all my fault- if I had not played around with things it would not have locked up so bad (internal errors all over the place). I decided to wait one week for them to find a solution, as the website was up, I was earning good money with it (around 40$ a day) and I did not care about emails... since it was only a secondary email address.
yet I wanted to have my plesk back.- so one employee worked on my vps for two days in a row and tried all kinds of hacks. still I did not work. so without asking, and I appreciate that, they cloned my "running" site and setup another vps and routed all traffic over there. wow. I did not know this was technically possible!
anyway, I had my plesk back and every setting I had done, was input kindly by the zone.net tech-man. If I had to do this all myself I would have lost valuable time at university that (at this point) I did not have.
Just a few weeks ago I received an email saying that my vps (and basically) every VPS had to be moved, as zone.net had bought their own network or net of servers or datacenter, I cannot remember what it was, anyway... my vps had to be moved, meaning starting at "zero". A new vps was setup again, but since the ips changed, too I had to undergo the whole IPs annoyance with the german denic domains again.
luckily zone.net helped me out quickly and assured me things would work.
Indeed it did, the transfer went very smooth, as the old vps was not shutdown until the new one had been successfully "talking" with my nameserver.
Bad thing though was, that I lost several posts and comments, as in the meantime I was accessing (randomly) two different sites on different servers.
At one time, the old site loaded, the next hour the new one loaded and vice versa.
If you plan to transfer sites, you should not post anything and close comments. just as a matter of fact, that was my learning...
What I did not like about zone.net is that after the server move and in the meantime, they have seem to taken off the live-support. I loved to quickly address my problems and have them sorted out.
Now I have to reside to their (working!) ticket system, where I usually receive a reply within hours, but sometimes also days (but that´s my fault then again to not "bump" my tickets every now and then).
In general, I am very satisfied with the performance at zone.net, the level of support and the possibility of having almost EVERYTHING customized to my needs. I appreciate being a customer there, seriously! as soon as I experience something else, I will post it here, promised!
I have a problem in that I sell somewhat large download files, and Hostmonster told me their servers don't support 'resume'.
So if my customer has a power failure, etc., during the download, he'll have to start all over again.
So it looks like I'm going to have to move my download files to a different server.
Can anyone recommend a good host that will store my digital downloads and, that, most importantly, support 'resume'.
Just installing cPanel/WHM and its taking a little while, i am running under a SSH session.
I wished i had run it in screen now! If i close my SSH session the install will stop half way through which will not be good.
Is there anyway to pause the current process, and restart it in a screen session?

to set up a batch file on our server (Windows Server 2003) to upload an xml document to the web everyday. Due to nature of our business, we require the ftp to be secure (SFTP), so i need a DOS SFTP add-on: any suggestions.
It is also a requirement that we PAY for it (management?! ),
we have a WHM account... we have different accounts on that...and for each account, there are add-on domains underneath that. (i hope you know what i mean)
and we set it up to use only SFTP to connect to server. no FTP.
after we have set it up that way, it seems that we can only connect to SFTP using 1 user/pass for each account... that is the same user/pass we use for Cpanel of each account.
say, i have Account A... under Account A, i have addon domains: A1.com, A2.com, A3.com...
setting SFTP only on that server, all those addon domains of Account A, can only use 1 user/pass to login to SFTP which is the cpanel access also of Account A.
question is.... is this behavior correct??
how can we create a different user for each add-on domain?
I'm trying to upload about 200 Gb of data and it became clear to me to route it out a specific connection sftp was the way to go.. (the ssh2 kind)
The problems I'm now having is that the 2 applications I rely on cannot get the job done.. CuteFTP Pro 8 can't even begin to get it done it crashes, errors out etc. and for while there it looked like the free program WinSCP was going to get it done but now it errors out/crash's and while it actually did get about 1/4 of the data done, it seems to think when it reported it done.. it got it all (that is when it doesn't crash for no reason, these crashes only occurred mainly when I tried to get it do 3/4's or the rest of the data)
So anyway.. recommend me a good client app if you can.. (that does real folder sync transfers) preferably ssh2/sftp, I'm uploading to dreamhost if that makes a difference I assume it doesn't though..
I've noticed that on most servers I use, downloading a file over SFTP is about 4x slower than downloading over HTTP. Can anyone tell me why and if it's possible to tune the SFTP server?
- neither the server nor my desktop shows significant CPU use so it isn't the processing overhead of encryption.
- The symetric key ciphers used should not increase the number of bytes transmitted.
- The file being transferred is already bzipped so the HTTP isn't faster due to compression.
- I'm using OpenSSH on Linux / FreeBSD server side, and WinSCP on Windows XP / Vista client side.
direct root logon to a server is disabled; using another login, obviously. However, I need to be able to SFTP files from my computer to a directory on the server using said login - yet it does not have correct permissions, evidently, and therefore can't even see the directory I need to be able to SFTP files to.
Tried CHOWNing the directory with that usename, giving it 777 permissions, etc.
i am not able to get connect to SFTP server

I just got a barebone server. Installed apache2, php5, mysql,phpmyadmin.
I only have SSH access to the server. I wish to use CoreFTP to transfer some webpage files to /var/www folder. I can login the server using CoreFTP's SSH/SFTP and it displays all the files and directories, but I do not have the permission to write.
My question is, how do I give myself permission to write? Here is the id of my user:
uid=1000(charlie) gid=1000(charlie) groups=1000(charlie),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),110(lpadmin),111(sambashare),112(admin)
I'm noticing that no one seems to offer SSH or SFTP access to Windows hosts. It seems it would be more difficult to offer this, but does anyone reputable offer this?
I am planning on uploading semi-private MS Access databases (hence the lack of Unix options) for site use, and I'd rather not expose them unencrypted.
How do you plan new network cable on your rack?

I have installed ProFTPd through Webmin onto Ubuntu 8.10 Server edition.
I can connect to ProFTPd via FTP on Port 21 no problem, but currently am unable to via SFTP (using WinSCP).
I would like to block all FTP access on Port 21 and only make it only possible to connect via SFTP/SSH on Port 22.
