Application Server: how to import wav files and SSH access 8

[hibroth]

Just installed the 7.0 application server, using as VMPro, I haven't found on doc how to import wav files.

Other question: how to get access to the linux console via SSH? I tried with the root/itspassword but no way to enter.

rel 7 now supports SSH file transfers.

Login with webcontrol and web with SSH
Then (from the top of my head) admin
Then you need to enter Administrator as password
Then root
then you need the root password.

I use SSH secure shell for this.
Ths client also has a file transfer option.

Then you go to /root
Go to /opt/vmpro
Then you have all folders like you are used too.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

Winscp is a nice graphical file transfer utility that can use the SCP & SFTP (ssh Copy & SSH ftp)

this should enable you to transfer files to the correct location (/opt/vmpro/Wavs/...) without any trouble at all.



I do not Have A.D.D. im just easily, Hey look a Squirrel!

 

[hibroth]

you (all) are right, but I entered the server by using WinSCP as suggested by IPGuru (webcontrol/web), it's easier because the GUI.

Star to all....

I sang too early...

the access is correct, in both ways, but I am not allowed to drop files into the VMPro working path (Opt/vmpro/Wavs/), I suppose because the writing user rights.

Through the ssh client suggested by tlpeter I am able to transfer files but only into the home/webcontrol folder, moreover from the VMpro client it is not possible to pick them up from there.

 

[tlpeter]

You need to enter \root instead of \webcontrol in the top field.

BAZINGA!

you can change the root password via ssh as well. its in the link to the KB i posted.

root account login is disabled by default.

You could enable it or try Samba file sharing

To enable:
- putty into machine
- obtain root account -> admin, Administrator, root, [rootpassword]
- enter this:
# perl -pi -e "s/PermitRootLogin no/PermitRootLogin yes/" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Restart ssh server
# service sshd restart

you're all set now to use root account and WinSCP to that folder.

For file sharing (seems faster for me):

putty into machine
- enter "admin" - pass Administrator
- enter "Configure" - pass Configure
- enter "sharing"
- enable server: "enable"
- enter: "create share vmpro /opt/vmpro/Wavs"
follow instruction

Now you have a windows share that you can access from the network.

 

[tlpeter]

Now that is valuable information.
I have seen the samba part in the latest 7.0.12.3 release but i never saw any documentation about it.
Where did you find this?

[mititelu]

For the SAMBA I've just played with the CLI, just press "?" and it lists everything it knows how to do, nice cisco like interface.


BTW Here's a listing of the sharing commands (note, I press ? and it shows what I need to do)

share>

configure share configuration
create creation of file shares and usernames
disable Stops and disables file sharing services
enable Enables and starts file sharing services
exit Exit the named view
help Display an overview of the CLI syntax
history Display the current session's command line history
logout Logout of the current CLI session
password sets password for a username
remove removes file shares and usernames
set
show shows information regarding file shares and usernames
top Return to the default mode
wizard

share>create

share create a share folder
user create a username for file sharing

share>create share

create share <name_of_share> <path_of_share>
create a share folder

name_of_share Name of file share (lower case a-z, example: 'myname')
path_of_share Path on disk to share (example: '/myfolder')

The only part where i am stuck is the RO/RW part.
It give errors on upper case but lower case also does not work.
What do you need to enter for RO/RW?


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

 

[tlpeter]

Forget that
You may not use a username with uppercase in it.
Then you can enter RW or RO.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

 

[mititelu]

I entered "RW" and enter, what's your output when you do that?

 

[tlpeter]

See above your post


BAZINGA!

[mititelu]

oh, I can't be bothered to use shift/caps if not absolutely necessary so that's probably why I didn't run into trouble

 

[tlpeter]

But i saw the contactstore folder that is there by default.
Funny that the 7.0.20 techbulletin mention nothing about contact store and vmpro on linux while it is there

if you edit /etc/ssh/sshd.config you can enable root log in via ssh*

alternatively ssh using webcontrol/web then switch to root with su

chmod -R 777 /opts/vmpro/Wavs will make Wavs & all sub directories globally writable


*This is normally considered a security risk bit as the webcontrol password is public knowledge & your root password shouldn't be it may actually be safer

[mititelu]

Yes, it's quite a security risk, on a cloud server I get tons of attempted logins to root account, too bad it's disabled

PS: webcontrol default password is also a security risk, it should always be changed
