Clarifying a simple telnet/ssh script
Hi
I don't do shh much :). Today I got some instructions to do a command to adjust permissions. Below is their instructions, with some key directories changed for obvious privacy and security reasons.
When I telnet/ssh in I see a screen that already starts with the $ sign. (Specifically
And do I put a space before the /www/foobar/docroot/orange
In other words, can someone give me the EXACT command, including the path, to type into the dialog box in order to get it to work.
I hope I have given you enough info!
Thanks

Here is how you can reset the ownership of files created by apache, so you can delete them.
ssh to the server and
$ sudo blahblah-bananas.sh <path>
where <path> will be:
/www/foobar/docroot/oranges OR, (for everything)
This script makes EVERY file writeable by both human and machine
When I telnet/ssh in I see a screen that already starts with the $ sign. (Specifically
[rowby@foobar ~]$
And do I put a space before the /www/foobar/docroot/orange

You mean before /www?
Does not matter at all.
What are you trying to make executable.
Could you should me output of command
cat /www/foobar/docroot/orange

Here's a screen shot of how far I have gone so far.
Getting "command not found"

I don't think you should do "OR" at the end of lines
Did you do ssh before running commands?
It is simply saying that the shell script doesn't exist. may be you are not on the correct directory.

Hi
I got rid of the "OR".
Would blahblah-bananas.sh be a script (with that sh extension) that the person would have put in that folder? Perhaps you are right and it is not in the folder I initially sshed into. Maybe he put it in the document root????
In case the sh script is in the document root, can you tell me the command to get to the document root?
Here is my latest screen shot.

Did you do ssh before running commands?I am logging in using Bitvise, under the SSH tab.
It is simply saying that the shell script doesn't exist. may be you are not on the correct directory.I assumed I was in the correct directory to do the command, based on the person's instructions to me (see the initial question I posted. ) When you log iin va ssh do you usually start in the document root?

When you do
cd
If you are talking about docroot,
you need cd /wwHIDDEN IN YOUR MESSAGE/docroot
you go to the root of a particular user.
you can issue this command
locate <scriptName>
to find the script. Then you should issue command like
sudo /path/script/name /SOMETHING/docroot/
If locate doesn't work, issue this command
find /www -type f -iname 'script.sh'
cd

Also you might try using this editor:

It's a quick install.

I appreciate you help!

SSH / Telnet Software
Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

You do ssh <ADDRESS> to logon to the server
Then you are on the remote machine. You run a script using sudo, which gives you authority to run as a root -- super user.
