SCP command line within PHP
by Abhishek Daga 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

I am currenty SCping using the command line, where i am asked for the password in order to run the command. Now I wish to run the SCP command from within a php script. I'd rather enter the password each time in a form rather than store it within the script itself. How can I handle the password request? i.e., pass the password to the remote system when it asks for it. thanks abhishek ____________________________________________________________________________________ Choose the right car based on your needs.

Switching to GNU/Linux -- for newbies
by Praveen A 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

Switch to Linux! GNU/Linux, or simply Linux, is an alternative to Microsoft Windows. It is easy to use and gives more freedom to users. Anyone can install it: Linux is free as in freedom, and often available free of charge. http://www.getgnulinux.org/ Can point to newbies to GNU/Linux.

Reviews page on wiki

Hi all, I noticed today that the reviews page (http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Reviews) on the wiki was blank. >From the edit history, it looks like during the spam cleanup on 27th July, the reviews were inadvertently removed. I have restored the page from the older version. Do let me know if there are any mistakes. Regards, Mohan S N -- The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles
