transfer data to harden server ?? Unix Admin, please help

[hendnov]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to transfer data from one unix server to harden server,

I couldnt transfer using ftp, is there anyway that I can transfer file to this harden server?

THX GUYS

 

[KenCunningham]

Tape, rcp? Which OS exactly? More info. required please.

[hendnov]

OS? from unix server to unix harden server, we're using solaris. THX

 

[KenCunningham]

As I say, do you have a tape drive available on both machines?

[hendnov]

no mate, nothing.

It all depends on how it's been hardened. Our standard is to replace telnet/ftp/scp/rsh with ssh/sftp/scp. Assuming you can actually log in over the network then at least ssh myst be running. If so is sftp?

If sftp is not running but ssh is the following works

cat localfile | ssh r_user@r_server "cat > remote file"

If the server has been hardened so that there is no remote access then you need some physical medium (tape, CD, memory stick, etc) but you imply that this is not an option. If this is so then you're down to re-keying the data!

You could possible transfer on floppy disks using tar or cpio, or possibly email the file, or split it up and email.
How much data are we talking about?

USBkey?

1. Insert the USB key in one of the USB slots.
2. mkdir /rmdisk
3. /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
4. /etc/init.d/volmgt start
5. mount | grep rmdisk

It should be there.

If the above doesn't work please try

1. /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
2. iostat -En
* Look for your USB device.
3. mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /mnt
* mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0:c /mnt

Hi guys, thx for your input.

Hi columb, it works using sftp. But here I'm talking about transfering 1GB data.
my harden server has only ssh remote access.

Question :
Just wondering should I put something like "bin" in sftp if I want to transfer bigger data to avoid checksum error ? or I dont have to. Because in sftp they dont recognize bin command. I transfered the file successfully because I did for the small data.


and mrn, I've got big questions for you. There is no "volmgt" in my /etc/init.d/ here's the list in my /etc/init.d

[hendnov]

and columb :
your script doesnt work, I tried :
cat localfile | ssh r_adoc_syduwlp12 "cat > remote file"

coz the username is adoc and server name is syduwlp12.

THX

 

[mrn]

are you using a third party disk management package?

Do a find for it

find / -name volmgt -print

columb's way should work. i had using the same method a lot of times.


cat ~/.ssh/identity.pub ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh $dest_host -l $rem_usern 'cat > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'

 

[hendnov]

Hi mrn,

I'm interested about your way, but still I couldnt find "volmgt". Cause when I typed "find ..." they said permission denied.

So Just wanna confirm about your way is that right when I put USB keys in client machine so I can put files in USB key to UNIX server??

columb, your way is work
Just wondering which one is faster between your way and sftp ?

Cheers.

 

[hendnov]

Hi columb,

Thx for the command that you gave me how to put data to server, but what command about how to get data from the server ?

 

[mrn]

Are you signed in as root?

[columb]

To get data from the serveer

ssh remote_user@remote_host "cat /path/to/remote/file" > /path/to/local/file

I don't understand why you feel that sftp is unsuitable for files > 1Gb. It will take a while but no slower than using ssh (or any other network method. If you can use gzip or compress to bring your file sizes down.

no, I'm not the Admin.. that's why. any other idea?

So, ask your sysadmin ...
