Hi munna_dude,

Welcome to TSG!

How are the two systems connected?
1) by network
2) by mounting one on the other

If by network, and both are visible to the other:

# rcp -rp file system2:/pathname
where file is the local file or directory and /pathname is the full pathname on the remote system on the network. The -r does a recursive copy from the local file directory, and the tree structure is preserved at the receiving point of the remote copy operation.

If by mounting one on the other, just use:
# cp -rp file /pathname

where /pathname is the mounted pathname of the remote file system's full path receiving point, and file is either a file or directory that is recursively copied (dir case) to the receiving directory point full pathname.

You stated you wanted to send a file transfer by email, so just use the email attachment facility of your mailer. A common way to send a file via email on a Unix like system is the following:

# mail <file user@xxx.com
where the file is included instream (e.g. a simple text file usually) using the sendmail facility.

Read the scp man page: # man scp

hi all
i am doing on file selection concept
i got a problem with this code
initially ok_button must be sensitive FALSE
after selecting a file in the list ok_button have set sensitive TRUE
is it possible.
how can i do this

here is the code
which i tried

can you please help me

i tried like this
but saying Connection refused
i test it , sending myself

How are the two systems connected?
1) by network

[root@localhost ~]# rcp -rp local 192.168.1.120:/root/Desktop/fileselect/fileselect.c
connect to address 192.168.1.120 port 544: Connection refused
Trying krb4 rcp...
connect to address 192.168.1.120 port 544: Connection refused
trying normal rcp (/usr/bin/rcp)
192.168.1.120: Connection refused
[root@localhost ~]#

is this the correct way to do
please help me
thank you in advance

Hi munna_dude,
I see you are using the root account on your localhost computer, and you say you are connected by a network - since you are using addresses in the 192.168 range I assume the network is a LAN - is that correct?

For the purpose of discussion, let's call your local (from) computer node in the LAN, the host named FROM. Let's call your receiving (to) computer node in the LAN, the host named TOTO.

If you are trying to do an rcp command from one computer to the other, i.e. from host FROM to host TOTO, then you need to have accounts with the same password common to both host computer nodes. Do you have that? If not, make it so, since you are root - and the root account can do mostly anything since it is an admisistrative level account.

In /user/friendly/file is the file you want to transfer from host node FROM. So, you issue the following commands on host node FROM:

cd /usr/friendly
scp -rp file TOTO:/user/friendly

If you are logged in as user friendly, or as root, the transfer should work. Note: the two different host nodes will have different network addresses - as you referred to one with 192.168.1.120 the other host node would have a different 192.168. address assignment. Let's assume its 192.168.1.121. Then issue:

scp -rp file 192.168.1.121:/user/friendly
which should copy the file to the remote node in directory /usr/friendly.

I used scp in the example because man rcp brought up the scp man page on my Ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS Live CD platform.

You can use ftp to transfer files between systems. Look at the ftp man page for information on how to use it.

[Squashman]

Lots of ways to do it. You could setup SSH keys between your linux systems and use rsync to copy files to your other Linux system. My friend does this with his Web Servers. He has one Linux system that is just dedicated to backup. He has a cron job setup to run is backup script which uses rsync to backup his servers.

yes now am in LAN.
i would kine to send a file to all(means to you also) not only mynetworkgroups

i tried this

[root@localhost ~]# scp -rp /root/Desktop/html.zip 192.168.1.120:/root
root@192.168.1.120's password:
html.zip 100% 7247 7.1KB/s 00:00
[root@localhost ~]#

yes it is fine.
but it asking password.
if i would like to send a file to you. how can i know youe password amd ip address

can you please clarify my doubts

thank you in advance

HI munna_dude,

Ftp or scp or rcp are incapable of sending a file to anyone on the Internet - i.e. the protocols do not work that way in an Internet context as opposed to the way you are using them to send files to your own account/directories on your LAN. This does not mean it is impossible to do so, but involves security and the proper protocol setup at each location - e.g. anonymous ftp or an account/password on a remote system setup with an ftp upload accessible directory.
