Some notes on having static-web site owners upload their content over SFTP

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/14

Yes, there are still static web-sites. A long time ago, they were uploaded over FTP. Now many use more secure protocols.

So here are some links and notes to allow this on a Linux based host running OpenSSH.

I got to the above via these two links:

An alternative might be web-dave, but that would probably mean some hassle to separate uploading the site from accessing the site.

Task Scheduler – command-line End a Running Task

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/11

schtasks /End [/S <system> [/U <username> [/P [<password>]]]] /TN taskname

[WayBackEnd a Running Task

Every now and then you have those Scheduled Tasks consisting of batch files that – despite trying – still ask for user input.

If – even after a reasonable time out – the Task Scheduler still hasn’t killed them, you can kill them by hand with the above schtasks in a snap.

DNS, glue records and TTL

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/06

If I ever need to read why, here are the explanatory links:

TL;DR:

  • You need glue records for your domains if the nameserver is in the same TLD as your domain is (more explanation in the above links).
  • Your domain registrar allows you to change both your DNS servers and the glue at the TLD servers.
  • Glue records have a TTL at the TLD of 48 hours so changing them takes some waiting.
  • This is how you query the glue records so you can verify what’s setup at your DNS servers matches the ones at the TLD servers (in the below examples, replace google.com by your domain name).

dig +trace +additional google.com

 

Notes:

At the time of writing the dig output is this:

Interactive map of Linux kernel

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/05

The [WayBackInteractive map of Linux kernel is way better than the static versions below that I got via

[WayBack] Interactive map of the Linux kernel subsystems. A little bit beyond what is required to use Linux. But great for those who want a deeper understanding of the kernel. – Joe C. Hecht – Google+

XS4ALL has stopped providing ftp in the middle of 2017: now you can use sftp or sftp.

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/03

As of 20170711, the servername ftp.xs4all.nl does not support the ftp protocol any more; xs4all clients can only use the server sftp.xs4all.nl on port 22.

I missed that because I hardly use ftp except for the few rare occasions where I was in an environment without ftp.

So recently I found out: good move!

Since I still need this every now and then (but far less often than 10 years ago), I have set up a very small ftp server at home with limited storage and very limited users that I can turn on/off when needed.

Much better solution.
