File Copy

[kmdicks]

Trying to update the ipxe.efi on my server. Unable to copy to the fog server, receive access denied error using pscp c:\temp\ipxe.efi tech@10.0.0.61:/tftpboot/ipxe.efi

any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin

@kmdicks I would assume that the user tech doesn’t have rights to drop files in /tftpboot That right is typically reserved for root.

@kmdicks use scp or rsync or winscp instead.

@wayne-workman said in File Copy:

rsync

Thank you for replying. Will try the other utilities

@george1421 taken over the server, not sure what the root password could be. Any way to reset or recover? Thanks!

[george1421]

@kmdicks root password for the linux server itself or the admin password for fog. If its the root password for linux you might be in a tough spot.

If its debian/ubuntu based you may be able to do a sudo su - and key in your password. If that command works then enter whoami it should respond with root. If you get that far then you can set root’s password with the passwd command.

@george1421 You were correct. Was able to locate the password for the fogproject account and that account was able to upload the file to the tftp directory. Thank you for your guidance.
