SFTP Command

Graphical SFTP clients


Two SFTP clients, CyberDuck
(for Mac OS X) and WinSCP (for Windows), are available for free download.

Graphical SFTP clients simplify file transfers by allowing you to drag and drop icons
from one window to another. Each icon represents a file or directory, and each
window represents a computer's file system. When you open the program, you specify
the name of the remote host to which you want to connect (e.g., www.mysecuredomain.com), and then authenticate with your username and password for
that host.

SPTP is very useful if you have two server in different location and you want to
migrate some data from one server to the other without downloading and then
uploading. In this case you just need to ssh to the source host then sftp to the
remote and you can then copy file from the source host to the remote host.


Command-line SFTP
You can use SFTP from the command line on Unix and Mac OS X computers. To start an
SFTP session, at the command prompt, enter:

sftp username@host
For example, if your username is bigbrother, to connect to your account on the host
iswatchingyou.com, enter:

sftp bigbrother@iswatchingyou.com
Enter your password when prompted.


Some standard commands for command-line SFTP include:

cd Change the directory on the remote computer.
chmod Change the permissions of files on the remote computer.
chown Change the owner of files on the remote computer.
exit (or quit) Close the connection to the remote computer and exit SFTP.
get Copy a file from the remote computer to the local computer.
help (or ?) Get help on the use of SFTP commands.
lcd Change the directory on the local computer.
lls List the contents of the current directory on the local computer.
lmkdir Create a directory on the local computer.
ln (or symlink) Create a symbolic link for a file on the remote computer.
lpwd Show the current directory (present working directory) on the local computer.
ls (or dir) List the contents of the current directory on the remote computer.
lumask Change the local umask value.
mkdir Create a directory on the remote computer.
put Copy a file from the local computer to the remote computer.
pwd Show the current directory (present working directory) on the remote computer.
rename Rename a file on the remote computer.
rm Delete a file on the remote computer.
rmdir Remove a directory on the remote computer (the directory usually has to be
empty).
version Display the SFTP version.
! Exit to the Unix shell prompt, where you can enter commands. To get back to SFTP,
enter exit. If you combine ! with a command (e.g., !pwd), SFTP will execute the
command without dropping you to the Unix prompt.

Notepad++ For Windows 8 RT ARM

That's it Windows 8 RT ARM based tablet are out there but as many already noticed Windows 8 RT is lacking a lot of useful software available on Windows x86 and Windows 64 platform.

A lack of apps has been one of the big complaints for Windows 8, particularly the RT version, which doesn't run Windows 7 apps. (Full Windows 8 PCs will run any app that works on Windows 7 mode.) No one thought this would be a permanent problem even though Microsoft failed to make its goal of 10,000 apps in the store by launch day.

The most important application is certainly a good Text Editor. Forget about Notepad or Wordpad...

So I decided to build Notepad++ for Windows 8 RT based on source code http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

You can download the 7z archive from http://shop.actimus.com/

IIS Windows 7 Ultimate

Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Services, formerly called Internet Information Server) is a set of Internet-based services for servers created by Microsoft to be used with Microsoft Windows. It is the world's second most popular web server only after the Apache HTTP Server. The servers provide services for File Transfer Protocol, SMTP for e-mail and HTTP/HTTPS for web server.
In this article we will explain you how to install The Microsoft IIS Webserver on your computer. The IIS Server is NOT available for Microsoft Windows 7 Home edition as they say the Home edition was not meant for networking. So you must have the Proffessional edition or the Ultimate edition of Windows 7 installed on your computer for installing the IIS Webserver. You will also be needing the Windows 7 DVD during this install. Now, Follow the steps below:
1. Place the Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Proffessional DVD into your DVD-Rom Drive.
2. Goto Start > Control Panel > Programs
3. From the dialog box that opens, click on Turn Windows features on or off. You can check this detailed guide on how to add or remove Windows features in Windows 7.
4. This brings another dialog box that contains a list of many Windows related services
5. Check the box for 'Internet Information Services (IIS)' leaving all the default installation settings intact. If you would like to install additional services, then expand each option and select them.
6. Once IIS is installed on your machine you can view your home page in a web browser by typing 'http://localhost' (you can substitute 'localhost' for the name of your computer) into the address bar of your web browser. If you have not placed your web site into the default directory you should now be looking at the IIS documentation.
7. Service and Configuration management for your IIS web server
8. You might like to install IIS Tuner in order to configure your IIS server installation for optimum performance.
9. Now, Install the Web development options for Visual Studio 2012 RC

NOKIA please bring a 42 mega pixel Windows Phone to US now!

The company is not doing itself any favors as it lumbers within the smartphone business. It missed a rare opportunity to release a version of the Nokia 808 with its 42-megapixel camera. This unit was shown in the big Mobile World Congress earlier in the year with no plans to bring it out in the U.S. Why not? One reason may be because it was running on the old Symbian OS. But why did the company do that in the first place? I’m positive that a Windows Phone from Nokia packing a 42-megapixel sensor would get a lot of attention and subsequent sales. But the company apparently doesn’t think so. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/is-it-time-to-buy-nokia-2012-06-08?link=MW_latest_news

Sequoia's "RIP Good Times" Revisited

http://www.businessinsider.com/sequoia-rip-good-times-full-2011-3#

IE10 and FLASH

Finally, there’s Internet Explorer 10, Microsoft’s in-house web browser, which adds a couple of interesting features. First, Microsoft has added a strip of frequently visited and pinned/bookmarked sites that appear when you begin typing in a URL. Potentially more useful, however, is “Flip Ahead,” which adds an arrow (only visible if your mouse is close by) to the right of the screen. The arrow looks at Bing user activity and page data and actually tries to predict the most likely page you want to go to. This would be very handy for, say, articles split among multiple pages — that is, if it actually took you to the next page. In my brief test with a few multi-page articles from Slate, it did nothing of the kind, but perhaps it just needs tweaking (and more user data). Most important, IE10 now has Flash compatibility built in. However, as Microsoft explained to me, this does not mean that every Flash site will render properly. Since IE in Metro uses a customized version of Flash that Microsoft worked directly with Adobe to create, sites need to submit themselves for approval to work with IE10. Microsoft said it’s already taken care of big Flash sites (like YouTube) and more are getting added to the bucket. This seams to be the best way to avoid bogus SWF to mess up your CPU and so forth. This should be the same for Android APP to reduce the ridiculous amount of ADB log draining the battery Please Google implement a turned on or off ADB LOG in the settings of next Android OS. http://mashable.com/2012/05/31/windows-8-release-preview-2/

Microsoft with its unveiling of Xbox SmartGlass

SmartGlass is not a kind of glass. Maybe it's the buzz about the Gorilla Glass featured on the new Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone. Or the fact that touchscreens are a key part of the feature. Or -- you know -- the fact that they called it SmartGlass. But some folks have been confused on that score. The feature is actually an app. It will work with the Windows 8 operating system, which runs on both PCs and mobile devices, to link up tablets and smartphones with the Xbox console and, by extension, a user's TV. So I need a Windows phone or tablet? No, you don't. Obviously, Microsoft would prefer you buy something such as the Nokia Lumia 900 or one of the many tablets expected to be released once a final version of Windows 8 is up and running later this year. But SmartGlass will also work with Apple devices, such as the iPhone and iPad, or mobile devices running Google's Android operating system. As long as you have an Xbox 360 and either a PC running Windows 8, mobile devices running Windows 8 or an iOS or Android device, you're good to go. http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/05/tech/gaming-gadgets/xbox-smartglass-explainer/index.html
