Fedora 11 FTP

[Bernie VK2KAD]

In response to Harold's question - there is a SFTP service running on the
Fedora11 image.  At least in the Hercules image that is.

Using it I was able to FTP the Midnight Commander RPM to Fedora after
downloading it on my Windows host.  I used psftp as the Windows Client (From
the makers of Putty).  Unfortunately the RPM wasn't installable as there
were many unmet dependencies.   I am now in the process of setting up
Hercules on Ubuntu - hopefully my Windows networking woes will go away and I
will be able to 'yum install' everything I need, then I can just ship the
image back to windows !!   (Well that's my plan for now)

Hi Harold.

As already posted on the marist list, i'll add that as it's really a 
small and very useful tool that i remember now many people on IBM 
mainframes use as it's similar to the x3270 consoles.

Regarding an ftp server, what are you referring here too? For the images 
we only have the secondary arch spins hosting site at the moment which 
doesn't have FTP access afaik. For the packages themselves we have our 
normal fedora repositories along with mirrors, some of which will have 
FTP access.

The idea of releasing a list of installed packages though is really 
good, i'll do that for the next release and will post the current one to 
the thread on Marist list.

Thanks & regards, Phil

That had been my plan too. I already run on Linux, so yum works just 
fine. I had used it to install gcc before the latest image was created. 
Please keep track of the dependencies so that others can readily install 
what is needed. Of course, I guess the plan is to have mc installed on 
the next build released.

My question was really motivated for another usage. I plan to set up a 
separate disk with /home and some automation so that I can easily 
install a new disk image and get everything back to where I need it to 
be. I suspect for awhile new ones will be released on a fairly regular 
basis.

Think about "scp"  instead of ftp.

scp copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses ssh(1) for data
     transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security
     as ssh(1).  Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if
     they are needed for authentication.
