Online identity is a fraud!

I joined twitter today and there is already 9 people following me – thank you – within the same day. I have noticed that many people tend to follow those who follow them… This is a perfect ground for fraud, fishing and scam chains which I am sure it is being used already!.

I am going to do a little weekend experiment. To start with, I need subscribers, lets see how many I can gather within the weekend.

Resume transfer with scp and rsync

Posted on May 14th, 2009 in tutoriales by Miggs

Today I feel like writing in English, but don’t worry, It wont be too much.

This trick becomes is very handy when transferring large files over the CLI and suddenly the connection is lost.

HOW-TO-RESUME-SCP-TRANSFER

scp does not support any kind of transfer recovery, so what can you use instead? rsync over ssh!

$ export RSYNC_RSH=’ssh [OPTIONS]‘
$ rsync –partial –progress <source> <destination>

Done! That’s it for today.
Cheers
