That .sh file should download the data by terminal or by Browser inside the machine without using credentials!!!

Ok, full stop. What happens here is that your web server simply tells you: "Hey, dude, I would love to give you that file, but your f'ing unauthorized, so just leave me alone. I won't give you the file unless you can present me a valid auth".

In other words: HTTP 401 Unauthorized.

So what needs to be done is simple: we need to authenticate against the server. This does not relate to the client side in any way. You will see the same behavior in Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, misc. PowerShell cmdlets or whatever else you may use to access that file.

Like SAM said, let us stop talking about client side tools for now. Let us instead discuss very basic authentication mechanisms.

I understood but in Browser the file will download from the cache credentials since the cookies make to download the data Right?????

Yep. And it's a very bad idea to rely on something you can't control: a users cached cookies.

ou have something like Pi 3 and if so why ? and what OS on it ?
If you want to buy one which one interests you.
Thanks.

Raspberry Pi3 for thermostat and Arduino for door automation.

Why I am getting the vibe here that it is easier to code and automate with Arduino , is there an easy guide/wizard for it that does not involve alot of coding ?

I don't think that that is the case. Arduino is not a full computer and doesn't have an OS. It's neat and interesting and meant for basic automation, yes. But it is very hard by comparison as anything that makes automating with an OS simple, the Arduino lacks.

Arduino is good for sensing, but has almost no compute power. So if I had a bunch of battery powered sensors, Arduino would be the best fit. While if I actually wanted to do something with the data those sensors collect then a general compute device (Raspberry Pi) is a better choice.

There ist something in between, the network capable ESP8266 with ESPeasy stack.

My cousins friend from highschool was just found dead. Someone shot him and dumped his body in the woods.

Uhm... sorry to hear

That doesn't matter at all. There are only a few factors:

• Do you need any form of authentication - if so, what exactly? A web based form, a HTTP BASIC AUTH (your browser shows a popup for credentials) or something else (some auth protocols can be tricky)
• Can the machine running the script reach the webserver?
• Is there any script language available? not required, just a plus
• Any download tool available? curl, powershell?

You see, it's pretty simple. Most questions are already answered. We now need to know what kind of authentication your webserver requires. Simply start your favorite browser in incognito mode (shift + ctrl + p in Chrome) and navigate to your URL. There are no cookies or caches involved in that moment. Tell us what you see, maybe create a screenshot.

@coliver why not?

It's a really great Desktop OS but being an Ubuntu distribution doesn't give you the best learning platform for running actual enterprise servers. Something like CentOS or OpenSUSE would be much better for learning Linux Server Administration.

Ubuntu is Debian-based and as good as a server OS as everything else. The question is: What makes a Linux distro a server distro? Things like stable kernels, stable packets, available support, good documentation etc. are comming to mind here.

CentOS is a decent RedHat based distribution and it isn't any better or worser than Debian-based Ubuntu, IMHO. Mint on the other hand, well, you might have issues with some unstable or at least not well tested packages.

If you want to go the Debian-route, skip Mint and use Ubuntu or Ubuntu Server.

Have to convert a bunch of physical hosts to Hyper-V VMs. There's everything in the mix: Windows 7, Linux, a lot of FreeBSD and even a Solaris-based system.

What is your tool of choice today?

There's a requirement to keep machines from former employers available for approx. 6 months. I don't want to keep their old desktop machines occupied for this.

Oh I see, so you just convert their physical PC with Disk2VHD and store the .vhdx file somewhere.

Still the way to go?

Dang Jesus. You should stop by and visit next time you are in town. At least grab a good German Beer with me!

Better come over to my place to get some real German beer

Oh im up for that! There is a German Biergarten near my house that is ran by an Austrian. He has lots of on tap imports. Spaten, Wasteiner, Franziskaner, Stella Artois, Jever, Flensburger, Hemelinger etc. Fresh made strudel daily and pork schnitzel (im ok with it not being veal). But if you want to buy me a plane ticket to come visit, I would be glad to come and drink all your beer

FTFY

As checked the link in the browser by incognito window there is not Login Credentials was asked where the file get downloaded without any issues.

1)As of now i dont need any authorization to download the file
2)The machine which is running is able to reach the Webserver
3)No script language.Just making .sh file to download the files consecutively
4)I am trying the process in Ubuntu and same needs to be worked in Mac but tried the Curl which is creating the file which have the same link inside that file once i click on that link the file will be downloading

I need to download the Files automatically in Downloads Test Folder in the .csv format first

Ah, very good. So we can safely ignore any authentication. Mostly. It's still possible that there's some kind of authentication you can't see this way, like IP source or user agent checks for example. A user agent string is basically a way to tell a webserver which browser is asking for files. BTW: sh / bash is a language on its own But let's skip that for now.

So what exactly happens when you just enter

wget -O /home/user/download/file1.csv https://your.webserver/folder/file1.csv

Is there any error message?

@kelsey said in the benefits for a small company that wants to use a virtual server:

@scottalanmiller i have to use small company so i have picked where my step dad works and i have to put something like why they should use it and some advantage and disadvantages about using one

In a few words:

• You'll get hardware abstraction (easily move your workload to new bare metal)
• You'll get yet another way for backups
• You will be able to monitor the state of the machine on the hypervisor-level
• A couple more benefits

You lose:

• Approx. 0.1% performance (really, that's a joke)

@kelsey said in the benefits for a small company that wants to use a virtual server:

@thwr thanks

The point is, like SAM already told you: The least benefit you'll get is flexibility. There absolutely no reason not to use virtualization.

Use the tiny layer of abstraction that comes for free, use one of the popular (and license free) Type 1 hypervisors (Hyper-V, Xen, KVM, VMWare ESXi etc) and you won't regret it.

@travisdh1 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Oh, we could get that sort of connection, it'd just cost more than our total monthly sales.

plus you need to manage other things too with faster lines, like adding "4K" and "3D" as keywords for your p*rnfilter erm blacklist to ensure productivity. From this point of view, your slow line safes you some work

@BBigford said in Can it end now? \rant:

We disable it (for internal-only machines, domain only. Public and private are active) because there are many other layers of security in place. Having it on and risking compromise is outweighed by the added headaches of figuring out why the firewall is blocking something. Anything external facing has maximum security though (web servers/etc).

You know that one of the most dangerous attack vectors is the one from within your network? No more IDS/IPS or UTM to pass, it's the free wild. I would leave it on, better some protection than no protection. Adding a new rule for a webserver is a one-liner.

Valid point. I was told not to enable any of them. So maybe they are going based on trust.

Well, ... uhm, just make sure that no one points at you when things go south.

The current user accounts have admin rights, which I will remove, I have ScreenConnect installed and running with admin perms. So I can pop a powershell via the ScreenConnect command window easily to do this.

AD? New-ADuser or so. On the road ATM, can check later
