ftp large files to new server

ftp large files to new server

[Bhikkhu Mettavihari]

I live in Sri Lanka and have 2 servers in the USA.
Server1 is a Debian Box
Server2 is a shared box where I do not have command line access

I have several large files that I have to upload from server1 to Server2.
I would first ssh to Server1
then as root or as a user I will
#ftp Server2
I get a login and password
I am accepted as a user.
then I give the command
mput *.mpeg
and the first file will start going
Then my ssh will time out before the file is uploaded
and I do not have the possibility to say continue with the next file

Is there a way of telling my ftp client to do mput without prompting
me for the next file name.

regards
Mettavihari

Sorry for this,
but here is the answer from myself

ncftpput -u ?        -p ?           -R servername remotefolder  localfolder &

may be others have better solutions.

Module init for compiled in vs loaded modules

[Fundu]

Hi,

For kernel modules can be loaded by explicitly do insmod etc for ones that are not compiled into the kernel.

1) But where do i look to find how the kernel loads(ie. calls the fn exported by module_init(XXXX)) for modules compiled into the kernel. 

2) Does the kernel call some kind of probe to load them ? say i have 2 module compiled into the kernel for 2 diff type of ether cards. Would the kernel call init on both.

thanks !

Code base of 2.6.18

linux/init.h:

#ifndef MODULE
...
#define module_init(x)  __initcall(x);
#define __initcall(fn) device_initcall(fn)
#define device_initcall(fn)     __define_initcall("6",fn)
#define __define_initcall(level,fn) \
    static initcall_t __initcall_##fn __attribute_used__ \
    __attribute__((__section__(".initcall" level ".init"))) = fn
...
#endif


So as you can see call to module_init is actually an initcall.

initcalls are processed in do_initcalls function in init/main.c

static void __init do_basic_setup(void)
{
    ....
    do_initcalls();
}

Please do not hijack the thread, it messes up the thread in our mail 
boxes and also the archive which will be used by others in the future.

Dear Mettavihari:

 I don't know which 'ftp' server application is being used at your 
servers, but
here are some commands I have used:
binary ( to make the circuit work with non-text/ascii/... data)
prompt (this toggles prompting between files)
hash (this displays an octothorpe "#" for each SIZE bytes transferred ).
passive (allows 'dir' and 'ls' commands through a firewall or proxy)

# ftp -p -i hostname
"-p and -i" invokes 'passive' and 'non-interactive' from command line.

HTH, Chuck

Please, do not start a new thread by replying to a message in an existing
thread.  Compose a new message from scratch to the mailing list.

Otherwise your thread shows up in the middle of another, *unrelated*
thread when anybody looks at a threaded view of the archives.  Just
look at
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.embedded/626/focus=815> to
see what I mean.

Thanks, Tom

thanks Rajat and Amol. 

One other question,
1) how does the kernel know which module to load first in order to satisfy dependencies issues ?
2) is there a way i could print the module init fn name from do_initcalls. to see in what order compiled in modules are called.

tia.

By looking at the needed symbols (cfr. depmod).

> 2) is there a way i could print the module init fn name from do_initcalls. to see in what order compiled in modules are called.

Add `initcall_debug' to the kernel command line (if you would have looked at
do_initcalls() and do_one_initcall(), you would have known).
