Full Discussion: How Do I FTP System Files to Different Server?
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers How Do I FTP System Files to Different Server? Post 303020927 by spock9458 on Tuesday 31st of July 2018 10:58:51 AM

So, I sat down yesterday and went completely through all of the steps I had performed with my latest VM, and after careful scrutiny I found that I had assigned the same IP address to both the Host NIC and the OpenServer VM!! Duh. I decided to start over from scratch one more time, and I now have a working VM that my physical machine is able to connect to via FTP!!


From what I observed this time here are the important steps:
1 - Use "bridged" mode for the virtual network card (but be sure to assign different IPs to the host and the vm!)
2 - Add a Host record to the local DNS server for the OpenServer VM, and I also added the computer in AD Users and Computers - though I'm not sure if this was necessary.
3 - I don't know if this made a difference, but during the SCO setup this time, when it asked for which "security profile" to use, I selected "Low" instead of "Medium" which was the default.



I can only connect FTP in one direction - from physical to VM, but that should be all I need. I don't know why, but when I do try and FTP from VM to physical it says the system type is unknown. From physical to VM the FTP connection recognizes the system as UNIX.



Anyway, now I have copied a few files over, but I want to try and copy some entire directories, and I think I need to use cpio rather than tar? I'm trying to read about both and it's a little confusing to me. What I want to do is make separate archive files containing contents of the directories in my physical machine, then ftp those over to the vm where I can extract them to where they belong.


I understand with cpio I can "pipe" the results to a single file (using a .cpio extension?), but what I don't get is do I use the "find" command or the "ls" command? I think it would save me a lot of time if someone here could offer me the exact syntax to use in order to accomplish this goal. Also I know with cpio there is a way to get the files extracted to their "absolute" path over on the VM, but I can't seem to grasp the syntax for this either. I could really use some help with this last part - and I appreciate it a lot. Thanks.

Description
       Prior to Version 2.0, this device was referenced by tmscp(4).

       The  TMSCP  driver  provides  a standard tape drive interface, as described in This is a driver for any controller that adheres to the Tape
       Mass Storage Control Protocol (TMSCP).  The TMSCP controllers communicate with the host through a packet-oriented protocol termed the  Tape
       Mass  Storage  Control Protocol.  This driver also supports n-buffered reads and writes to the raw tape interface (used with streaming tape
       drives).  See for further details.
