Description Ryan Brooks

I am trying to upload files to download1.eclipse.org and failing, so to investigate the issue I tried to ssh download1.eclipse.org.  It appears that I am not getting a normal shell and my working directory is not my home directory.  Here is what happened:

prompt$ ssh -l rbrooks download1.eclipse.org
Password:  
Last login: Tue Oct 16 16:19:12 2007 from my.server.com
r$ ls
Documents  bin  downloads  public_html
r$ pwd
Not allowed to do 'pwd' at /usr/bin/cvssh line 114, <STDIN> line 2.
Connection to download1.eclipse.org closed.

Please help me get to the point where I can upload files to download1.eclipse.org.

I've just double checked your permissions and everything looks good there.

Are you using SCP or SFTP to try and move your files to download1?  Since you have the standard committer restricted shell I'd suggest you use SCP to avoid potential gotchas between the restricted shell and SFTP.  However you may want to consider requesting a full shell via the portal, but those are only granted to release engineers.

Also note that the 'root' of the downloads area is linked into your home directory as downloads/, so you can just upload to ~userid/downloads/mytoplevel/myproject/foo.tgz

-M.

Ok, so I tried scp to download1.eclipse.org on Aug 14 but was not able to connect because it timed out.  Then I tried ssh and it also timed out.  This was from home with no firewall and at least previously I was able to connect using ssh, but then I would get the error noted above.  I'm willing to trying anything to debug this, because we really need to be able to upload the OSEE update site.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan, I'll need your internet-facing IP address to debug any of this.  Feel free to mail it to webmaster@ to avoid putting it here.

We've worked this out offline.
