Linux Problems

ok, im having problems copying files to my disk. i decided to use gnome, and it has already been mounted. im trying to make a driver disk for my FT100 card.

i download and extract the files, and try to copy them over to the floppy. most of the files succeed, but on one i get an I/O error, this is the .inf file for win2k, the MOST important file.

what is a clean way i can copy files, and what seems to be the problem. also, why is it that i need to unmount the floppy everytime i take it out or put in a new disk

You sure that all those files will fit on the floppy? du -h <direcory> should give you the size.

And you really need to read up on some basics. No offense, but...

none taken, you are 100% right, but i have NO time, besides, i dont know of any good books to get

first install mtools. then you can easily use dos disks without mounting/unmounting. however you have to learn the command line commands which are basically the dos commands

ok, i installed mtools, is it like a program i have to start? or is there any help file which explains it to me?

 

[Priit]

mtools package is a bunch of programs. If you have it installed correctly, type &quot;man mtools&quot; for help. Typing just &quot;mtools&quot; shows what commands you can use. I'm pretty sure you can guess what each one of those is good for

I've GOT A PROBLEM ...

I'm running Serv-U FTP server or G6 FTP server (port 21) on my masq'ed Windows PC.

I've installed standard PM firewall configuration with all ports 'STEALTH' ... (I went to http://www.grc.com to probe my ports)

I've also entered this line in my pmfirewall.rules.local

/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L (External Internet IP) 21 -R (Internal Windows IP) 21

Is this correct? ... I've tried all night ... no luck!
Still can connect to my internal FTP Windows server

Can anyone help ... Thanks

 

[Damaged]

Yup, that's correct to port forward. You may want to open up port 20 (ftp-data) as well.

Sure you aren't blocking the services via any other rules?

Should've started a new thread.

Could someone connect to my FTP ... the address is:

wds.dyndns.org
or
62.252.44.215

Port 21
NO username or password

 

[Damaged]

Connection refused. I can trace and ping the IP fine though.

 

[NucleusWDS]

So it does work I guess .....

I've forgot to turn on my Windows PC with the FTP server .... I'll do that tonite round 6.30 pm GMT
So if anyone wanna try tonite just log on:

wds.dyndns.org

Port 21
No username or password

Just hitching a ride

YIP PEEE !!!!!!!!!

Got EVERYTHING WORKING !!!! .... it's GREAT

THANKS GUYS ... I LOVE YOU !!!!

 

[NucleusWDS]

Oh ... one more thing ...

Whats the main difference with <portfw> and <autofw> ?
Are there any security risk in using one or the other?

At the moment ... The only way I could get my FTP servers running is by using the <autofw> option ...

That'll be my LAST question on this matter ... I promise

Thanks for all the GUYS who've helped me here.
