  • FTP question

    Hi All,
    I have a server that I set-up with great help from this community. I can use Filezilla and edit configs, change permissions etc. My problem is as follows. A second server which was set-up by a third party, which is also running on debian will only allow me to edit certain files such as cccam config etc. I tried using putty with the "vi" command etc, but am still being denied making changes with the notice "operation not permitted".
    Any ideas.

  • Enable Root Access To Your New Ubuntu Server

    Quote from hs5424


    I have root access enabled and password updated. I guess that I now will be able to edit the file. Let you know how it goes.
    Thanks again.


    Update.
    Managed to get to the file and edit it (I think) with " vi /server/cccam/backup.old/ .
    I then pressed Esc and enter, followed by w to write changes. Now when I ftp into the location I see a new file called backup.old.swp. The original file backup.old is still there also. Do I have to overwrite the original with the swp file or am I way off the mark.

  • cannot edit cccam backup file

    Hi All,
    I need to edit one of my cccam backup files as I think it may be causing me some trouble (long story). I have tried both Filezilla and WinzipSc but get permission denied with both programmes. I went into properties and 775 the file but still get the denied notice.
    Any ideas.

  • force config changes

    Eureka.
    Thanks guys.
    Told you it was something silly. I noticed that my ConfigUpdate.sh had a capital C and a capital U. When I got this right all worked ok.
    You guys have never let me down.

  • force config changes

    Thanks ten below.
    Tried your suggested post. I know I am doing something silly as I am getting no 'such file or directory notice'.
    My cccam config is in server/config/CCcam_1cfg. The configupdate seems to be in server /script/ConfigUpdate.sh

  • force config changes

    Thanks master G,
    I will give it a go. I have to learn sometime.Even at my age.
    UPDATE,
    Useful commands. I tried out some and they worked so I know I am not to far off beam. However my cccam config is in server-config-CCcam_1cfg. Does this mean that I use the following. /server/config/CCcam_1.cfg/configupdate.sh. Tried this to no avail.
    Hope I don't look to stupid. Hopefully I am on the right track.

  • force config changes

    Hi All,
    My debian server is set up to execute any changes I make to the config file after a certain time (4am I think) daily. Is there a way I can force the changes to take place without having to wait until the following day.
    New to all this. Willing to learn.

  • ubuntu server security

    Hi All,
    Built a server with great help from this site about 18 months ago. I am a complete novice so need once again to seek help from fellow members. Another server which was built by a third party is suffering from what I am told is a 'double login'. It has been suggested that I check the security on the server. Can it be possible that someone can have a sort of back door entry into the server although only I know the passwords etc. Is there any way of checking if it has been compromised.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to recover a dead smargo reader

    Tried the suggestion from this site on how to recover dead smargo by fitting link or resistor on smargo pcb.
    I am testing the smargo in my windows PC.
    With 1k resistor fitted smargo is now detected by windows but I get a notice that says something like usb malfunction. Without resistor link my pc does not see the smargo. Is my smargo a dead duck.
    Any ideas.

  • Anyone know the reason why a powered usb hub improves ecm timing ?

    Hi annie12,
    Thanks for your response.
    I think I misunderstood the original post when I read it. It probably was comparing a smargo in a usb port and one in a 4 way hub. I looked like the author was saying that if you take smargo out of the usb slot and put it in a powered hub your ecm timing would improve. Thought I was losing the plot.

  • adding additional smargo

    Hi All,
    With great help from this site I managed to get my debian server working about a year ago and is operating fine. I am planning to install a second smargo which is currently running in a dm500 box. This hopefuly will help with load balancing. I know how to lock the smargo in the udev rules file and the setup that is required in the cccam config. My question is, will I require to have 2 X cccam's installed, ie, one for each smargo. The second smargo is currently on a different listen port than my debian server. I would like to retain this if possible. To summerise, can I run 2 X smargos in my server using 2 X different listen ports in the one cccam. Maybe i just modify my existing cccam config but I decided to check with you guys first incase I mess things up.


    Thanks in advance.

  • connect to server by preference

    Quote from thatfellow

    Option 3...


    If you use cccam2.1.3, Connect to the server that has least load with N:Line 256 so cccam sees it as local and prefers it...


    Thanks thatfellow,
    Do I need to make up an N line ,put it on the server and on the stb also. I have never used N lines before so I may need a little instruction.
