I am trying to find a solution for a client which will allow them to push all SSH traffic over remote access VPN? they are also requesting that it must have split tunneling and all http/https traffic must go out over the local internet. Is this even possible? they currently have a fortigate, which says no its not possible, I've called a few other vendors who say their VPN solutions are not capable of that. I know in cisco you can force specific sites to go over the VPN but you need specific IPs and it is not recommend. OpenVPN might be able to do it but I might be misinterpreting what I'm finding. Has anyone come across something like this before and can point me in the right direction?

Basically this client has a lot of remote workers who download large images which is why split tunneling is a must. They work through AWS and SSH into the boxes. The security for this is getting out of hand as they have a lot of servers and they are putting everyone's public IP in the security settings to allow them to access the servers. They no longer want to do this and only use their public IP for security reasons so we are trying to get a baring on how one would be able to accomplish this as they want 1 point to cut all access to the servers if a user would leave or be terminated.

I need to use PuTTY to TelNet to multiple timing systems, each with their own ip address, but daisy chained to one another as well.  How can I do that?  I need live streaming to happen from each timing box to a local file (different file for each timing system).  I have hardly used PuTTY but it looks like I can only connect to one ip address with PuTTY.  Can I run multiple instances of PuTTY simultaneously?

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I've been trying for weeks to get a solution working to backup Windows clients to a remote Linux based NAS (QNAP).

I've got things working on one laptop but I'm having difficulty deploying the solution on a second laptop.  I tried to keep good documentation of my process but, it was mostly trial and error and I'm performing admin duties in addition to my main responsibility so, my focus was constantly disrupted.  

Anyway - here's what works on the first laptop:

rsync -azv -e "ssh -p 1722 -i C:\Users\<myuser>\Documents\.ssh\id_rsa" . <myuser>@mydomain.dyndns.org:/share/homes/<myuser>/backup/

Select all Open in new window

Broken down that's:
1.  rsync through ssh
2.  specifying an alternate port for ssh (-p 1722)
3.  Pointing ssh to an identity file (-i C:\Users\...\id_rsa)
4.  Giving rsync the current directory as the source (.)
5.  Logging into the user at the remote server
6.  Giving rsync /share/homes/user/backup/ as the destination on the remote server (a folder named "backup" in the directory where QNAP is storing user home folders)

So, I can run that on the first windows 10 laptop and it works but when I run it on the second, it balks about:
"Could not create directory /home/<myuser>/.ssh"

But if I just run this:

ssh -p 1722 -i C:\Users\<myuser>\Documents\.ssh\id_rsa" . <myuser>@mydomain.dyndns.org

Select all Open in new window

I'm transported to the users home directory.

:/

Any ideas of places where I should look?  Permissions on all of the folders involved?

THanks in advance!

Dear Experts,

I am thinking to use SSIS to do the following procedure.

(1) copy many files to Linux machines. then
(2) execute a Linux program (command) to analysis those files. The program will output the result to the local Linux drive
(3) when (2) is done, then pull the result back to Windows machine

For (1) I am thinking of FTP task (by FTP or SFTP)

how about the task of (2) and (3) ?  Could you please help ... Thanks

Previously when we transferred a 20GB gz  Solaris file down to PC's
local HDD & then from the local PC HDD, transfer to a USB HDD, our
DLP corrupted the gz file when it's transferred from local HDD to USB

We have since resolve that but to prevent untoward corruption in
future for copying of critical files to USB HDD,

Q1:
Does Winscp has checksum feature that checks at Unix end & at
PC end?

Q2:
If so I would rather use Winscp to transfer directly to USB HDD.

Hi Experts,
can someone explain the procedure for generating certificates.

I am new to this I want to Generating private key for SFTP connection, i have a file that has a *.asc extension and i want to generate to private key and send it to third party.

Thank you,

My company has setup an Ubuntu 18.04 server, to exchange files with a client, via SFTP.  We need a high level of security.  We're trying to require authentication with SSH key pairs, AND the Linux OS username and password (not the SSH passphrase). We've got the key pairs working, but it doesn't ask for the password. I'm assuming we're just missing something in the sshd_config file. Hopefully we're not trying to do something that's not possible. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I am running a Centos 7 linux server, i am runnin open ssh server, and client. I did a recent test to see if the ssh is working correctly, and what i found out was i could only using my internal IP address to access my server from my workstation. I tried to use the public static ip and i get a timed out error. I checked my ports 21,22,  to make sure they are open through port forwarding through my wireless router. They check out to be open, I am using firewalld as a firewall, and i  did notice that my selinux gave me an message basically asking me do i want the sshd server access to a particular file. I am not sure if selinux is the issue. But i want to find out if it is a permission problem, or  selinux issue. The actual sshd server when checked on staus shows it is running fine. Please help

Would someone have an explanation for this?

Both times I have run this script.

vmkfstools -i "/vmfs/volumes/Date-2016/00 - DNS Server/00 - DNS Server.vmdk" -d thin "/vmfs/volumes/DES Lessons/00-DNS-Serve
r/00 - DNS Server.vmdk"

Select all Open in new window

It gets to around 45%, and then jumps to 100%

Destination disk format: VMFS thin-provisioned
Cloning disk '/vmfs/volumes/Date-2016/00 - DNS Server/00 - DNS Server.vmdk'...
Clone: 100% done.

However, the actual size is 50GB
But the file transferred is only 16GB

00 - DNS Server.vmdk
16.53 GB
Sunday, May 20, 2018, 12:48:59 -0400

This is the actual size

00 - DNS Server.vmdk
50 GB
Saturday, April 28, 2018, 08:23:53 -0400

I have 7 VMs that need to be moved to a new drive, and this is causing some major slowing down issues.
Any ideas?

Also, if using the vmkfstools GUI is a better route to go, that would complete this without this issue.
Then please, tell me how to use the GUI, as I cannot find any information on using it.

I have a Dell laptop (running Windows 10) where I'm hosting OpenSuSE Linux (Leap 42.3) in a virtual machine. Although I can ping the virtual machine, I haven't been able to connect to it using the SSH protocol. As far as I can tell, the secure shell demon is running on the Linux system. I've tried a couple of SSH Windows clients – specifically, SecureCRT and SecureFX. Additionally, I've tried running the SSH client from the Windows command prompt. I haven't seen any error messages. Instead, the connection simply times out.

Networking is not my forte, but I'm familiar with SSH. I've configured it on UNIX systems many times, but that was years ago. These days I'm doing so only on rare occasions. Consequently, there's usually some small detail that I overlook. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
