Thread: download from server after finish download by seedbox

I put the files in var/www/html
and then the link to the file becomes
http://vpsxxx.leeware.com/file.ext
you copy this link and put in IDM

I noticed something though, the files are not downloaded if the filename is too long
So maybe you need to rename the ones with long filenames
use the mv command
like "mv long.file.name.ext /var/www/html/short.name.ext"

We need more help though in this thread about ways to download stuff off your server.
I installed an FTP server for example but I don't know why I can't download files through it!. Files permissions are fine but I keep getting 403 Forbidden.

when u fix ur problems talk with me in msn ginzy

first of all, you can move files in putty using the command
mv filename /var/www/html/filename (or any other location you want)
you can rename files with the same command
mv oldfilname newfilename

for a list of handy commands go here
http://www.linuxhelp.net/newbies/#mv

secondly, downloading with this method you get a lot of broken files, so i do not recommend it

instead you can install an ftp server
this is what i did, although i think i installed the wrong version but its working fine

the server i installed is vsftpd

first download vsftpd
in putty type
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/vsftpd-2.0.5-8.i386.rpm

of course instead of typing all this just copy and right click anywhere in terminal it will be posted for you

then type in the following commands
mkdir -p /var/ftp/pub/9/updates/ (although i don't think this one is necessary but since i don't know what it does, let's leave it there)
now install it,this is supposing it is in the /tmp directory, but when you download something it is usually in /root directory, so either move it to tmp before running this command or change tmp with root
rpm -Uvh /tmp/vsftpd-2.0.5-8.i386.rpm

now edit your vsftpd.conf file
it can be found in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

login to your server using your FTP client (sFTP method in Buggyme post) and edit the file like this
uncomment (remove the # from the beginning of)
anonymous_enable=YES
save the file

now type the following command in putty
setenforce 0 (this disables selinux temporarily to enable it again use setenforce 1)

and to run your ftp server type
service vsftpd restart

now move any files you wanna download to /var/ftp/pub
you can browse your site from this address
ftp://vpsxxx.leeware.com/
and download the files using your download manager

deep2k I hope this helps you
