Need to use the SCP command on a Centos or other RHEL based distro?
Sometimes when you attempt to run the scp command you recieve telling you that command as unknown. There is a good chance that the the SCP client isn't installed. Well that's not too difficult to remedy. A quick yum will do the trick.
yum install openssh-clients
Now try running the scp command and you will find a more favourable response!

Introduction
Recently I had a few problems with my U.K based VPS host. My VPS went down and it took me some time to get it rebooted. When it did come back on line the VPS had lost the ability to do domain name look ups. This caused me issues as this machine relied upon this to send e-mails. It took me three days to ge the VPS back on line which was basically a total nightmare.
When my VPS came up for renewal I decided to look about for better VPS hosting. Now there are lots of VPS providers out there but it is always a leap of faith signing up to one.

Basic FTP Shell Script for uploading files
Introduction
There are occasions where you might want to FTP data off site from a server or other host onto an FTP server

security implications to using FTP as transfer protocol over public links.

Using a QNAP linux NAS you can backup MYSQL databases on remote servers. This article shows you how to write a script to do this. This script can then be run at set intervals using the cron scheduler to ensure your mysql data server is backed up safely.
This guide assumes your server is running the SSHD and allows you to run remote commands. For example a
VPS server is the perfect example of this.

If you need to backup your network device's (you know Cisco, HP etc) running configuration, one of the most common ways to do this is via a TFTP server. There are various tftp solutions out there and this guide covers setting up a centos box on how to become a tftp server. There a few guides out there already but this one covers Centos 5 Linux specifically.
Step 1.
You need to install the tftp-server service and the xinetd service software using yum.
The xinetd service is required as this controls the tftp server daemon.
