schestowitzI've just burned fat too much time on sshNov 09 18:25
schestowitzFirst an hour...Nov 09 18:25
schestowitzOnly to find out the ISP blocks it. Argh!!Nov 09 18:25
schestowitzAnd I think another one blocks it, but nobody admits itNov 09 18:25
schestowitzSo I've wasted hours today on this junkNov 09 18:25
schestowitzHow would you connect to files remotely without ssh?Nov 09 18:26
schestowitzI mean, like scp/fish://Nov 09 18:26
FurnaceBoywebdav is one possibility.Nov 09 18:27
FurnaceBoyor ftpsNov 09 18:27
FurnaceBoyand if you control the destination server, you can move to another port.Nov 09 18:28
FurnaceBoyi've never seen an isp that blocks ssh.Nov 09 18:28
FurnaceBoythat would be extremely hostile to sysadminsNov 09 18:28
FurnaceBoyschestowitz: they've earned mucho negative publicity, if trueNov 09 18:29
schestowitzFurnaceBoy: if it's an employer you might not want to port-evade and I would notNov 09 18:31
schestowitzBut anyway, sftp might be worth a tryNov 09 18:32
schestowitzlet me try it...Nov 09 18:32
FurnaceBoyschestowitz: oh you mean IT dept blockingNov 09 18:33
FurnaceBoyschestowitz: well then i was ask themNov 09 18:33
FurnaceBoywould*Nov 09 18:34
schestowitzI should point outNov 09 18:34
schestowitzWhen I say they block itNov 09 18:34
schestowitzI mean outgoingNov 09 18:34
schestowitzport 22Nov 09 18:34
FurnaceBoyyes, i got that :)Nov 09 18:34
schestowitzoutgoing from a place would usually not be an issue if the host is put outside, but I still need to figure it out cause the IPs are dynmaicNov 09 18:35
schestowitzIt was a lot easier when I had fixed IPNov 09 18:35
FurnaceBoyi usually solve this with a vpn.Nov 09 18:35
schestowitzI need to compile thisNov 09 18:44
schestowitzI'm setting up ftpNov 09 18:44
schestowitzFurnaceBoy: couldn't get vnc eitherNov 09 18:44
schestowitzFor some reasonNov 09 18:44
schestowitzMaybe ISPNov 09 18:44
schestowitzvpn is a long storyNov 09 18:45
schestowitzBut possibleNov 09 18:45
schestowitzSometimes I need to work awayNov 09 18:45
schestowitzTO interact with some peopleNov 09 18:45
schestowitzBut I need my files thereNov 09 18:45
schestowitzconfigure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure itNov 09 18:45
schestowitzis in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the fullNov 09 18:45
schestowitzpath to pkg-config.Nov 09 18:45
FurnaceBoyschestowitz: you have root access to your web server? openvpn solves all this completely.Nov 09 18:47

schestowitz"i have a router and the proftpd site is not really informative... well at least not for a noob like me so... on the link, it says "First configure your ProFTPD install so that it works right from inside the NAT. There are example configuration files included with the source." now i downloaded the source and had a look on the config files, but i couldn't find anything relevant. any help on this?"Nov 09 19:02

schestowitzI'm just wasting yet more timeNov 09 19:03
schestowitzIt seems as though connections on a router don't quite like these connection typesNov 09 19:03
schestowitzAnother option I have is a server in-betweenNov 09 19:03
schestowitzBut space will be limitedNov 09 19:04
FurnaceBoyyou can openvpnNov 09 19:05
FurnaceBoythe thing with proftpd is you need sslNov 09 19:05
FurnaceBoyi've set that up, but it will take you timeNov 09 19:05
schestowitzI did set it upNov 09 19:06
schestowitzThe hard wayNov 09 19:06
schestowitzAnd can't reach itNov 09 19:06
schestowitzProbably something on the network blockingNov 09 19:06
FurnaceBoyrightNov 09 19:06
schestowitzToday I finished installing the operating system and all the accompnying software that I require. Tomorrow I will start coding (around the theme of tagging) even though the free datasets I've found so far are not so good (actually, they are terribly tiny) and I would love to have high-resolution ones.Nov 09 19:56
schestowitzI can ask around Manchester if the folks have any (I've been in touch with Prof. Taylor OBE earlier today); there's not much cardiac research in Manchester and thus no data, not as much as brain and knee data anyway. The sooner we know if 'triple-sandwich' approach can still be pursued with help from the hospital, the safer it will be to explore just tagging work, on which I've collected some references and resources.Nov 09 19:57
FurnaceBoy:)Nov 09 19:57
schestowitzSome PR agents got in touch just nowNov 09 20:00
schestowitzThey offer embargo releaseNov 09 20:00
schestowitzBut they give it before they ask if you agreeNov 09 20:00

schestowitzOr exposing PR agents who offer meals to people so that they write about their clientsNov 09 20:03
schestowitzThe press is run by moneyNov 09 20:03
schestowitzThat's how Microsoft can simple DECIDE that it will buy coverage for KINectNov 09 20:03
schestowitzThe press does not really respond to what's important, it just follows the moneyNov 09 20:03
schestowitzThe way it works is, company pays marketing agencyNov 09 20:04
schestowitzThat's the shim between company and people who call themselves $journalistsNov 09 20:04
schestowitzThe role or PR is to allocate company funds to said $journalistsNov 09 20:04
schestowitzIOW, it's a bribeNov 09 20:04
