Setting Up FTP^H^H^H SFTP In A Hurry For File Uploads Using OpenSSH
Author: orange • Tags: ftp • Comments: 3Setting Up FTP^H^H^H SFTP In A Hurry For File Uploads Using OpenSSH Secure file transfer gets too little attention, perhaps because it is too easy. For secure file transfer without the need of special programs or clients, nothing more is needed than to have the OpenSSH server installed and running. It has a built-in SFTP subsystem that is available to any account that can log in. In other words, for basic SFTP access, nothing needs to be done other than have an account accessible via SSH.

Author: Falko Timme • Tags: centos, nginx, web server • Comments: 0
Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On CentOS 6.3 This tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with nginx on CentOS 6.3. While nginx itself does not serve CGI, there are several ways to work around this.

Creating Advanced MySQL-Based Virtual Hosts On Lighttpd (Ubuntu 12.04) This guide explains how you can create advanced virtual hosts on a lighttpd web server on Ubuntu 12.04 that are stored in a MySQL database. The method described here does not use the lighttpd mod_mysql_vhost module, and unlike mod_mysql_vhost (which allows you to store only the hostname and document root of a vhost in a database), this method allows to store individual configuration directives for each vhost in the MySQL database.
