[Solved] ssh works but scp does not

For quite sometime now, I was having this issue, that for the home system, I was able to connect to is using ssh but it never worked. Fnally after quite some debugging finally I found that the issue was with thebashrc. So, everytime I had to do a scp I would have to move/rename bashrc and do the reverse action after the scp was done.

Terminating a SSH session after starting background process.

This is too good. If you are planning to start a background process in the bash script in the background and continue in the script, you cannot do it until…….

You would need to close the stdout/stdin and stderr before you can terminate any ssh session automatically. Here’s some more light on this topic.

client lanman auth is disabled error for samba

The error:

Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but ‘client lanman auth’ is disabled

is easily fixable. You just need to tell samba that client lanman auth is enabled. And here is how to do this:

If you are getting this error then add the following in the globals section of the samba configuration:

client lanman auth = Yes

Ensure that you change this in the file /etc/samba/smb.conf

Easy ssh configuration with .ssh/config file

If you ssh to many hosts then you are aware of the pain that it takes to ssh with different username and hostname. There is an alias that you can creat with native ssh though. Here I will show you the same with an example.

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      cat <<EOF >>~/.ssh/config<br /> Host <alias><br /> Username <user name><br /> Port <port number><br /> Hostname <hostname>
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

You can optionally omit the parameters that you do not require explicitly. For example, if your port number is default then you can simply ignore the parameter.

PuTTY alternatives - AlternativeTo.net

I like PuTTY quite a bit but do not like the fact that it does not have any tab feature. So, if I am working on multiple machines then un-necessarily I will have too many windows open cluttering my desktop. So, here is the result of my quest to find the alternative:
