Retrieving files

Is there a way to retrieve files from hard drive after they have been trashed and deleted?

Try using an application such as Data Rescue or FileSalvage. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

Can connect but not retrieve file list (VSFTPD) from within network

Hi!
I've got a D-Link DIR-100 wired router to which an Airport Express and an MSI Wind (Arch Linux server) is connected. I can connect to the Wind from outside the LAN, which includes SSH, HTTP and FTP. However, FTP won't work if I'm inside the LAN. The Wind has the IP 192.168.0.101 in the network, and I forwarded the port 22 for SSH, 80 and 443 for HTTP and 20-21 for FTP. I'm using OpenSSH, Apache, and VSFTPD.
When trying to connect with Transmit (OS X) I get this error message:
[b]Could not retrieve file listing.[/b]
Server said:
Illegal PORT command.
Error -162: PORT failed
The Transmit log looks like this:

If I try to connect to 192.168.0.101 though it works like a charm. How come I can't use the same adress? I can visit the external IP/HTTP in a browser, I can connect to it through FTP, but I can't view the files?

Interestingly, the errors above seem to be a little bit of a
red herring. If I turn off "enable file check in and check out" in
Dreamweaver then files can be downloaded, edited and uploaded
perfectly. I can also create new files. As soon as I turn checkouts
back on, it stops working. The errors above show up in the Apache
server log even when this box is unchecked and yet everything works
correctly. Because Contribute offers no option for editing without
writing extra info files to the server it still won't work.
The Dreamweaver log shows the following when I attempt to
check out a file:
Started: 12/19/08 6:25 PM
Operation timed out. Cancelling...
Operation timed out. Cancelling...
/webdav/robots.txt - error occurred - An HTTP error occurred

completed.

As I mentioned, when I turn off checkouts this whole process
works correctly, and I can edit and create new files.

Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

Hi Sue,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Try a Repair on the External USB Drive.
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

I think, you should change the server
(open the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with i.e. nano and put # infront of Server = http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/$repo/os/i686 and remove the # infront of another server)
On http://mirrors.gigenet.com/, there is no (more?) a directory for arch.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Apache Commons Net - Retrieve File - Extension, Compare , Move - FTP Server

Dear All,
I am using Apache Commons net FTP Library for FTP Operations. I had a few doubts
1) I like to retrieve ftp files only with some extensions like *.txt or *.jpg etc. How can we retrieve files with specifying file extension?
2) I need to compare the FTP Files with the local files before downloading from the FTP Server?
3) I need to move files from the ftp server to local directory. Is there is anyway to move the files rather than first retrieve files from the FTP Server and then deleting the file in the FTP Server using FTP delete()
Thanks,
J.Kathiresan

1) I like to retrieve ftp files only with some
extensions like *.txt or *.jpg etc. How can we
retrieve files with specifying file extension?
List the files and then filter the list to those that you want to process.
2) I need to compare the FTP Files with the local
files before downloading from the FTP Server?Think about this one! To compare two files you nead to read both. If you do this on the client then you will have to copy the file from the server first!

3) I need to move files from the ftp server to local
directory. Is there is anyway to move the files

[SOLVED] Pacman failed retrieving file 'core.db' after removing KDE

Hey, I had to remove KDE and foolishly used the -Rsc flag. Now, trying to update yields:
[root@Gal-PC2 gal]# pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.isoc.org.il : Resolving timed out after 10524 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.us.leaseweb.net : Resolving timed out after 10523 milliseconds
I tryed using the -Sy and -Syy flags to update the database, and made sure I am not using ipv6. I think the -Rsc flag might deleted an importent package. I can connect to the net, and I can acess mirrors using http and I can ping the mirrors. The error persists on a large number of mirrors. Any help will be appriciated.

Ok, so I did indeed disable ipv6 as I promised, but turns out I put in the GRUB kernel line "ipv6.disable_ipv6=1". Upon re-reading the wiki, turns out this means ipv6 is disabled but tunnels with ipv6 may be opened by programs. I changed to "ipv6.disable=1" and pacman updates away! I hope others will find this usefull. Be careful!

Windows Failover Cluster (Errors retrieving file shares)

I'm having an issue with Windows Failover Cluster with a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. I have two cluster nodes (nodeA and nodeB). My issue is that when nodeA is the owner node, and I open failover cluster manager <clusterName> >>
roles >> <fileserver role> >> shares tab it will hang and say that it is loading, but this will occur infinitely. Although when I go to nodeB (not the owner node) and I go to shares it will show me all of the shares that I have. Next when
I go to <clusterName> >> Nodes >> click on Roles tab the information says "There were errors retrieving file shares."
Now when I switch the nobeB to the owner node, I cannot view the shares on that machine but can now view them on nodeA.
We alse have a test network where I have recreated the machines, environment and the failover cluster to as close as the production network as I can except everything works great in the test network

For anybody searching on this later...
I was getting "There were errors retrieving file shares" no matter which node of my cluster
owned the fileshare service. Turns out my problem was that my servers don't have internet access and I had set a system proxy. The fix described in the link below was to exclude the local domain from the proxy.

[SOLVED] Pacman error: failed retrieving file : No address record

I just installed Arch on a x86 laptop using the cd as the package source. I wanted to do a net install, but when I attempted to (regardless of the mirror) I got many responses from pacman in tty7 of "No address record". This happened despite having a network connection and being able to ping any site from the cli.
After installing, I am still having the same problem. The laptop is plugged in via ethernet, and I can ping any site I want, but a call to pacman -Syyu just returns numerous errors such as
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.rit.edu : No address record
And just as a test, I was getting replies when pinging mirror.rit.edu.

Try the following steps:
1 - Set the VirtualBox Networking option to NAT
2 - Start the arch machine in the VirtualBox
3 - Edit /etc/rc.conf as a dynamic IP:
HOSTNAME="arch"
interface=eth0
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
4 - Run dhcpcd
5 - Try to ping a couple of sites, or your router
If you still can't ping or anything, I suggest you start a new thread specifically about your problem. Include the output from "ipconfig -a". You're not going to get much help from posting in a thread marked "[SOLVED]".

How do I retrieve files from a backup hard drive (was backed up using Time Machine) on a different computer

how do I retrieve files from a backup hard drive (was backed up using Time Machine) on a different computer?

Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.

Cannot retrieve files from Time Machine.

I cannot retrieve files from Time Machine. I can enter it, but the arrows don't seem to function and when I click on a date/time, nothing happens.

I don't know what you mean by "arrows". After Entering TM, put your pointer over one of the coloured (usually purple) dated bars at the right of the screen. That will bring (usually the desktop) for that date to the front. Navigate in the usual way to find the old file, select it, and press the big Restore button on the bottom left of your screen. As I remember it, a copy of that file will appear beside the current original with something like "Restored" added to is title. When you quit TM (Cancel) that restored file should appear beside its current version. (Or, if it's host folder has been deleted, smewhere else but I can't remember where - search for it.)

Pacman - error: failed retrieving file

Hi.
I just installed Arch on my new laptop but when I first got to the stage where you need to use pacman for the first time, I got this error:
error: failed retrieving file
for all the mirrors I have uncommented in my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with reasons like "Not found", "File unavailable" or "Service not available".
I've tried several mirrors (all french mirrors and some others) but I got the feeling that it's more coming from my computer.
I first got this error when I tried to install Xorg, but it's the same when I try with someting else (I tried Firefox for instance). Some packages are downloaded but some aren't and so, I can't install anything.
I've checked my internet connexion which seems to work since I have 0% loss when I ping something.
I've also tried pacman -Syy but it didn't fix it.
So, I'm asking for your help, since I never had any problem at this stage of the installation before.
And by the way, I'm running on a VAIO laptop with Arch x86_64 installed via network an I used DHCP during the install.
Thanks

I don't think so, since I added nothing after installing. Unless there is a firewall in the hardware (I don't know anything about that). My computer is a Vaio VGN-SR and this morning, I was able to install both cpudyn and acpid on the first try.
And I installed Arch before with the same internet connexion and there was no problem so it must be the computer.

[Solved] "Failed retrieving file"

Just thought I would share my experience with this, since I didn't happen to find this particular solution on the forum.
For a week I was getting Pacman error messages "failed retrieving file" when trying to install some packages (like mplayer), though I was able to install other packages.
Pacman was returning the same error from multiple mirrors.
But after running the rankmirrors script as described in the "beginners' guide" in the Arch Wiki, I'm able to install the packages.
Maybe this is obvious to more experienced users. As a new user, I very much appreciate all the detailed info on the Arch Wiki, and the forums.
Thanks all!

Thanks a lot ;-]
It was just that what I was looking for =þ
