hi ellie.. been watching your videos for a month.. im an IT graduate from mapua here in Philippines and my specialization was hpux admin, thank you for your great tutorial.. it teally hepls me refresh everything i've learned from college.. Gobless you mr. IT guy =)
ok, nevermind lol; I figured it out. went to VM box> Settings> Network> and changed "Attached to:" to "bridged connection" then i restarted ubuntu and did "ifconfig" again and got a new ip. I was then able to input the new ip and connect successfully. I would strongly reccomend this to anyone else having trouble as I played around for an hour trying all options and narrowing it down to this one! Thanks for the tutorials man, very easy to understand
Don't forget to allow port 21 (FTP) through the firewall (sudo ufw allow 21) or you won't be connecting to anything. Also, if you don't have an ftp client you can point your webrowser to ftp://(ipaddress) and it will prompt you for the user and password. Great videos :D
In case you are getting the following error with ftp clients when you are trying to connect to your server " 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/user", you need to enable the ftp_home_dir with those commands : 1) Check if ftp home directory is on/off getsebool -a | grep ftp 2) Set in ON if its OFF setsebool -P ftp_home_dir on 3) Re-check just to be sure getsebool -a | grep ftp you should have the following output ftp_home_dir --> on
thank for the reply Eli.. your such a good teacher i'm sitting here in the school i'm actually have my internship and i learn a lot from you. I almost watch and follow your video everyday. :) I guess the school is blocking some ports that's why i can't connect to the linux server i installed in the vm. but anyway you are great.. keep it up :) you are blessed with such a brain :)
Thanks for the great tutorials! I have learned a lot. Some advice for other people. With the default configuration you can not login as root with ftp. And when you don't want to set up a ftp server you can also use filezilla with ssh. Just put in your login and password and port 22.
Just as a note to those that want to use this ftp on a server. It does NOT encrypt the packets that are being used to login. In fact, if you use a packet sniffing software, you can see the login information for the server without any decryption, there is much more that needs to be added to the ftp configuration to cover that login information.
Your Tut's Are The Best On The Net Eli ... Thank You for making this so much easier to grasp and understand , you have a true talent for spreading knowledge :D
I agree! This would be a far more secure practice for the server. Not to mention more convenient if you have multi-level users that need to access the folder (Standard, Admin, Guests, etc...).
I noticed you have the date created and length of class around the wrong way on your website and video notes. Nice easy tutorials. They will do a lot to demystify using computers.
not sure what you meant? chmod stands for "change mode" (the permissions etc.) -x means that you are removing the "x" permission (execute-able) the g and o stand for "group" and "others" in linux there are 3 parts of the permission in linux, the "user" the person who owns the file. "group" (idk much) but i assume that this is some user group like "root" "ftp" "users" etc. and "other" is everyone else. Anyone else correct me if i'm wrong
I changed my Virtualbox configuration and got it working. I went to Settings > Network and set the adapter "Attached to:" option to Bridged Adapter. Working fine now as my Virtual machine now has an IP address that matches my local network.
it is firewall..probably even on your linux server..You can either enable ssh in your firewall or disable firewall..Than it will work. Good way to check if it is firewall is this: open terminal window, type netstat -an | more..If there is raw stating that ****:21 or 22 is listening so everything is fine, your computer is listening on that port so only firewall is blocking it. Hope this can help..
you can also type install - y so you dont have to press y to conferm just a quick question though in your opinion what is the easyest and best fire wall (with gui) to use on linux debion and can you make a class on that please :D
I'm confused how do I access the command line on my websites server? My website is on a shared hosting server and I've just been using filezilla to transfer all of my files. When I log into my server website I don't see anything about opening a shell and being able to sudo apt-get install ssh
Hi, i'm not an expert, actually am quite nooby, but i've managed to access via SSH both my android phone and my debian computer without many complications. Check your username and/or ip because you probably are logging in with invalid ip/usernames. Just ifconfig or visit your router's ip to check the usernames of the computer you wish to access
Muy bueno me salio todo bien me gustaría que profundizara mas en el tema acerca de como configurar el ftp para crear nuevos usuarios o como funciona totalmente el server. gracias
Hey, Eli; I am really hell bent on learning this stuff and I'm doing pretty good, but I am really getting aggravated with this and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out a solution to this: "Network error: Connection timed out" I've disabled anti-virus and even ran as administrator... Nothing! Please help. Thanks
thanks much for the lesson but am stack... sudo apt-get install ssh, sudo apt-get install openssh-server doesn't work it says openssh-server has no installation candidate and if i try install ssh it tells me to install openssh-client and i need the server... help...
Hello Eli.. for some reason I was not able to connect using putty.. I tried to disable ufw and also my antivirus program on windows.. could it be that the problem is related to the fact o using linux inside a virtual machine?
local-enable = yes. This means that you should use local username in password to connect to FTP. So, If your Linux FTP is on Linux box where you have account: Jack with pass 1, than you should provide this credentials
Hello. If the server does not have ssh installed would we connect but with telnet and be able to remotely install it ? And what would happen if we chose SSH , not Telnet at first?
Thx for another excellent video. Ive been learning linux and networking, etc., so this is very useful. I hit a bit of a snag with vsftpd, i couldnt log in at first. Ive been running linux as root even though i know you are not supposed to do that. Turns out the vsftpd PAM authentication file has root listed as blocked...
when i try to connect remotely by fowarding the vsftpd port in the router and use my public ip address in filezilla i get ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server. locally works but not remotely. SSH with putty works local and remotely no problem. I checked for the firewall, its not running
hay eli i have a problem i have setup ubuntu server 12.04 on virtualbox and i try to connect to it but i cant and i have the same problem on using filezila
What are the alternatives of filezilla in ubuntu and ios. Can the upload and download be done without a client like filezilla. Like directly connecting using terminal commands.
Hi Eli, I am new to ssh. I have followed your video to install and log into ssh. Now I need to edit my website php5.ini file but I don't know how to do that. Do you have a video showing how to open and edit files in ssh?
Good vid. I like his annunciation because too many people can't or don't on TH-cam. But can I tell you how annoying it is that he tries to pronounce CLI is "cl-eye" and "eth0" with a short "e".
Uhh. You just set up SSH, why not just use that to transfer files via SFTP? You can use a client program like Filezilla and tell it to use SFTP instead of plain FTP and then use the login information provided for SSH to login to SFTP. If you need to lock it down a little more, you can set up an account on the computer with restricted permissions and use chroot to lock them into one specific folder.
Dennis Santos You can also use port 22 if you're using sftp rather than just ftp which would be port 21 like Jamal advised. Hope that helps you out a bit.
@10:10 you say you can't upload or download files to your linux server. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way because there's scp commands and text editor commands as well. But great video none the less :) Thanks
Hi Eli the computerguy :) i try to install putty in the other virtual machine the problem is i cannot connect to my linux server. it said that network error: connection refuse. What have i done wrong. and also i can't connect to filezella as well.. thanks for help. :)
Hi Eli, when I try to connect to my SSH server, I get the PuTTY error: "Server unexpectedly closed connection". Do you know what is going on and how I have to fix it?
Can we do FTP of FIFO between two Remote UNIX Servers : Create FIFO1 in UNIX1 and FIFO2 in UNIX2 then FIFO1 will be input to FIFO2 Please give me ideas if you have any
you are funny dude i liked your tutorial thanks :D (p.s i watched it for the lulz from related videos and i liked how you like to remind them they are newbies constantly XD )
hi can you please help me, I'm trying to configure ssh and ftp but i was unsuccessful, the command sudo apt-get install ssh is asking password i try my userwd it doesn't accept that.
Sudo passwd root change enter a new password for root then type in su - and then password you then can install files without the need for sudo at the start
Excellent stuff. Thanks. I see you have even worse handwriting than I do. It seems to be an IT programmer trait. We seem to have virtually lost the ability to write legibly. No offence or even "offense" as you sound like you are from the States.
I got my dream job because of you ELI and I have started free education for people who cannot afford IT . Thank you so so much for the motivation :)
That's awesome man!
Awesome !!
Dude me too, this is the Man.
I have 2x my income no joke

Thanks for the video, works great.
(anyone else having audio sync issues?)
too
its the "computer guy's " fault ;) heheh
Heilman Hackatronics yup
really really u r the most powerful teacher i have seen ....... thX alot Eli the computer guy

Eli speaks very well if you have an imigination you can visual see what he is saying
In case you are getting the following error with ftp clients when you are trying to connect to your server " 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/user", you need to enable the ftp_home_dir with those commands :
1) Check if ftp home directory is on/off
getsebool -a | grep ftp
2) Set in ON if its OFF
setsebool -P ftp_home_dir on
3) Re-check just to be sure
getsebool -a | grep ftp
you should have the following output
ftp_home_dir --> on
thank for the reply Eli.. your such a good teacher i'm sitting here in the school i'm actually have my internship and i learn a lot from you.

In fact, if you use a packet sniffing software, you can see the login information for the server without any decryption, there is much more that needs to be added to the ftp configuration to cover that login information.
Try disabling all of your security software and see if it will work then. Norton or such may be blocking the connection.

I agree! This would be a far more secure practice for the server. Not to mention more convenient if you have multi-level users that need to access the folder (Standard, Admin, Guests, etc...).
They sure do. We also use it for weights and a number of other things. Probably just depends what field your in.
Ubuntu is a nice flavor of linux for beginners and that is who these videos are generally directed at.
the info in this video is superb
I noticed you have the date created and length of class around the wrong way on your website and video notes.

i see your allot videos you are going very good dear (teacher)....thNx...
Just wanna say you, Thank you Sir!
Very well explained, thanks Eli.
I changed my Virtualbox configuration and got it working. I went to Settings > Network and set the adapter "Attached to:" option to Bridged Adapter. Working fine now as my Virtual machine now has an IP address that matches my local network.
Very helpful...thank you for the videos Eli!
Just what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing

How secure is using FTP in this manner? Is the information (ie. username, password, data) sent in plain text?

Your tutorial is very easy to understand but most of the commands to install FTP does not work with redhat or Centos.

I use KiTTY instead, as that is simply an updated version of putty.
it doesn't help.. and after the error message.. above left side of the putty window said it's incative.
Hey eli, Why is my .conf file blank?
can u please give a tutorial for "Linux for Network administrators" ?
Great tutorial, Eli. Thank you sir.
One question. What port should I use for ftp?
Dennis Santos FTP standard port is 21
Thanks Jamal
Dennis Santos You can also use port 22 if you're using sftp rather than just ftp which would be port 21 like Jamal advised. Hope that helps you out a bit.
Set-up and working, thanks guys.
that is good demo for install of vsftp ..If can show how to install sftp that is great ...not sure vsftp or sftp which one is best
Nice video. Pls do you have a video on puppet installation and configuration on centos 6.5
#Awesome 🙏

Awsome vid, really helped me :)
Hi Eli, when I try to connect to my SSH server, I get the PuTTY error: "Server unexpectedly closed connection".
Do you know what is going on and how I have to fix it?
Add v flag while ssh for verbose
E.g. ssh -v someone@someserver
I have problem with $ chmod +r /etc/passwd
chmod: impossible d'accéder à '/etc/passwd': No such file or directory. what can I do?
make it executable first : with chmod +x ... I think it will work
Thanks!
.. from Tunisia :D
Its good stuff can you provide stuff related to network security
when i type that , it says command not found
do these commands work for FEDORA 20?
Mobile terminal emus can still use the sudo right?
why doesnt ha use a cpanel for the server? can someone answer?
Can we do FTP of FIFO between two Remote UNIX Servers :

Please give me ideas if you have any
You are great!
thanks its very uesfull
you are funny dude i liked your tutorial thanks :D

A Smart guy
Hi sir, Please make a video on Reverse SSh tunneling. Thank you
Thanks a lot!
can I use this for mac terminal??
Also, I can't install the ssh and the vsftpd
Thank you this is very helpul!
hi
can you please help me, I'm trying to configure ssh and ftp but i was unsuccessful, the command sudo apt-get install ssh is asking password i try my userwd it doesn't accept that.
plz use admin password
Thank You!
You didn't include the install of an ssh server (eg openssh-server). Your tutorial won't work as is and you need to change it.
great vid
Sudo passwd root change enter a new password for root then type in su - and then password you then can install files without the need for sudo at the start
awesome job!
Super Easy :D
Thanks
good stuff and helpful :)
Is this Ross Hanneman before he got famous?
what if the client is not on the same network??
Using wan technologies like VPN an of cours access white SSH
Excellent stuff. Thanks. I see you have even worse handwriting than I do. It seems to be an IT programmer trait. We seem to have virtually lost the ability to write legibly. No offence or even "offense" as you sound like you are from the States.
Is this out of sync or am i high af again
