How to Transfer Files Directly Between Servers using FXP Direct server to server files transfer requires FXP (File eXchange Protocol). It transfers files from the source server to the destination server without saving files to a local storage. FXP is vulnerable to open FTP bounce attacks and in many cases it is disabled by default. To enable FXP for your FTP server, please check the system manual. Once FXP is enabled, open Xftp and connect to destination and source servers….
Powerline is a statusline plugin for vim, and provides status lines and prompts for several other applications, including zsh, bash, tmux, IPython, Awesome and Qtile. The following screenshot by Github shows how Powerline can be used to display information in a much more appealing and easy-to-understand format: Using Powerline, terminal and supported applications look amazing. Color and line characters make information pop. However, Powerline is not supported in all terminals out-of-box. You need to install special fonts designed for Powerline….
Import multiple sessions from a CSV file This was one of the most requested features for Xshell. Some of our system admin users mentioned that they have to work with hundreds of servers that change IP and hostname frequently. So we created a feature in our Import tool to help them import hundreds of sessions using a CSV file. This guide will show you step by step how you can import sessions using a CSV file. Preparing a CSV file Currently Xshell supports…
Using Xmanager to connect to remote CentOS 7 via XDMCP Gnome in CentOS 7 tries to use local hardware acceleration and this becomes a problem when trying to connect remotely using XDMCP. To avoid this problem, you have to use an alternative display manager (other than ‘gdm’) and desktop environment. This guide explains how you can change the display manager to lightdm from gdm and desktop environment from Gnome to Xfce. Switching display manager from gdm to lightdm Add a…
Last time we discussed accessing remote hosts via Secure XDMCP. But what if your server has insufficient memory and you only need to run certain X applications, not an entire desktop environment. Using Xmanager, you can utilize the X11 forwarding of the SSH protocol to securely run X applications. The SSH protocol not only secures the X11 connection but also makes it easy to connect to X applications beyond the NAT gateway, so a user from a private IP network…
Let’s say you’re given the task of setting up a bunch of thin clients connecting to a Linux server for non tech-savvy users. These users just need access to the Gnome environment, email, web browsing, etc. You need something easy, reliable, and most of all secure. Unless you’re on a wired network that you 100% trust, you probably shouldn’t use XDMCP as your traffic is not encrypted. Plus, XDMCP requires setting up port forwarding or opening ports. But there is…
Trying to paste a large string into Xshell at once can cause problems if connecting to an embedded device or system with limited network. Your server may not be able to handle the data transfer and subsequently drop data mid transfer to avoid exceeding its capacity. Using Xshell’s delayed input feature, you can stagger a pasted string at a user defined delay to ensure no data is dropped. Using this feature is rather simple and we’ll go over the steps…
