Hello list, I'm attempting to rescue some files off of a hdd.
I have tomsrtbt-2.0.103. I tried httpd, and that works, but no directory listing, so can't easily right-click and save files, and wget did not work, so could not easily recursively get files (wget wouldn't even get one file - malformed header or some such). So I looked through the initial screen of "What you have is..." and saw rshd. I assume I should be able to rcp from my other (Debian) laptop to grab the files off the machine I'm rescuing. httpd command worked fine with good (tomsrtbt) man page (after setting appropriate ifconfig eth0 ip address it worked anyway - not sure if toms is supposed to recognise my udhcpd server on the other box or not. Either way, it ends up with 1.1.1.1 as ip, which I change to 192....). rshd didn't make a lot of sense to me. went to mailing list archives and found: http://not.toms.net/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/tomsrtbt/199808/msg00041.html?line=68#hilite Tried uncommenting the rshd line from inittab, didn't work. Created /etc/hosts.allow with contents of "ALL:ALL". Tried making my inittab line look just like the link above. tried variations on the other (good) machine of rcp and rsh to no avail. eventually went back to rcp, and tar'ed up all the files I needed and used httpd to grab the tar file. However, I'd like to know how I'm s'posed to make rshd work, because next time the hdd might not have space to store a tar of all the files to grab - or the hdd might be flaky on its last legs and it might be best to just grab the files and run, so to speak. When I try to rsh to the tomsrtbt box, my rsh just hangs, no prompt, no nothing. Ctl-C gives me back my local shell. I am typing the following (192.168.0.10 is my tomsrtbt box - I can ping it) - the square brackets indicate the options I have tried (including all shown): rsh [-K] [-l root] 192.168.0.10 [/bin/sh] That link above also says "This one is "snarf" all the way. It will do ftp, http, gopher, or finger." But I see no "snarf" assuming that is meant to be a command, nor ftp, nor ftpd. Snarf according to apt-cache show snarf seems to suggest it is only for retrieving, not sending, files. (Ie. ftp, scp, rcp? can send.) On the other hand I notice wget - from the name I'd have confidence in it being able to grab files from other host to tomsrtbt. Does wget do "finger", or just ftp and http gets? But it's the other way that I'm actually trying to transfer here... Finally, I notice an "entry" (in the "What you have is..." called "shared". This doesn't appear to be a command included... ??? Any hints and/ or doco refs appreciated. Thanks Zen -- Mr Zenaan Harkness Phone: +61 (0)2 4323 1955 Mobile: +61 (0)412 166 990 Please respect the confidentiality of this email.
