SCP How To

There are many software that can be use to transfer file. Many people use File Transfer Protocol to transfer file between computers. If you use Operating System Linux, you can use scp.
scp is used for copying file from local to remote host securely. It uses ssh for data transfer and provides the same authentication and same level of security as ssh.
If you want to copy a file from a remote host to the local host:
scp user@remotehost.com:filename /path/local/directory

If you want to copy a file from the local host to a remote host:
scp /path/local/directory user@remotehost.com:filename

If you want to copy a directory from local host to a remote host
scp -r /path/local/directory user@remotehost.com:/path/remote/directory

If you want to copy a directory from remote host to a local host
scp -r user@remotehost.com:/path/remote/directory /path/local/directory

If you want to copy a file from remote host 1 to remote host 2 (copy file between remote host)
scp user@remotehost1.com:/path/remote/host1/filename
user@remotehost2.com:/path/remote/host2/

If you want to use blowfish cipher to encrypt the data being sent:
scp -c blowfish /path/local/directory user@remotehost.com:filename

If you want to compress the file before send:
scp -c blowfish -C /path/local/directory user@remotehost.com:filename

Extend a LVM partition after increasing its virtual disk on Virtualbox

No Linux machine at work? the easy way could be to simply install Virtualbox in one of the PC, create a VDI and install Ubuntu 14.04 in it. But the day will come when you need more space! Here is how to resize it: Resize Virtualbox VDI Open Virtualbox, make sure to shutdown your virtual machine. Then open a terminal (here windows): 1 2 3 4 cd “ C : \ Program Files \ Oracle \ VirtualBox ” VBoxManage list vms VBoxManage clonehd uuid 0000000000000000 backup . vdi VBoxManage modifyhd uuid 0000000000000000 -- resize 204800 This is the Virtualbox official manual  of available commands. And  this is a website  to convert Gb into Mb (–resize takes Mb as input, 200Gb = 204800Mb). Boot Gparted to resize the partition After a default install of Ubuntu Server on one physical disk, you will have a SWAP partition, and then an extended partition in which you’ll have your LVM partition (So 3 partitions).  Download Gparted  .iso,...

Word 2003 “This document couldnot be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document.”

One day when i open a document in Ms. Word 2003, I get the message “ This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document .” After searching using google.com and open some website, i have one solution. It’s only one maybe two step that i have to do. I open my services panel and activated my DCOM Server Process Launcher . And, it works, the message no longer show again when i open my document using word 2003. That’s all. I hope it works to you too, if you have same problem. Nb: Open services panel, just open Run (Start–> Run) and type services.msc then Enter .

Website Using HTTPS Protocol

Last week, I changed protocol of my website from http to https. There were steps that i had to do. First, I installed openssl package and mod_ssl # yum install mod_ssl openssl Then, I configured the openssl  and created certificate # cd /etc/pki/tls/certs # make server.key # openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key # make server.csr # openssl x509 -in server.csr -out server.crt -req -signkey server.key -days 3650 # chmod 400 server.* After that, I changed configuration of httpd/apache #nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" ServerName www.server.world:443 SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.key Last, I restarted the webserver #service httpd restart That's all what i did last week to change my website protocol from http to https.
