[02:26] <teh_masterer_> can anyone tell me how to transfer files from linux server to a windows machine with rsync?
[02:44] <patdk-lap> install rsync on windows, done
[02:57] <teh_masterer_> patdk-lap: rsync doesnt come on windows though
[03:05] <FMan> it is available as a commercial product and free for private use
[03:07] <FMan> https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync/
[03:10] <teh_masterer_> FMan: but that says rsync client for windows. i want to copy whats on the linux server to a windows 7 os
[03:11] <FMan> do you want to ask me a question?
[03:12] <FMan> if you just want to copy a bunch of files, rsync is not the easiest solution: I would use SFTP
[03:12] <FMan> that's how I transfer files between Windows and Linux server
[03:17] <teh_masterer_> FMan: basically what i want to do is backup my ubuntu server which is off site to my windows machine at home
[03:17] <teh_masterer_> FMan: i was told rsync is the best way to do this
[03:17] <teh_masterer_> FMan: not all of my server, just my plex movies
[03:17] <FMan> it requires configuring rsync on the server to run as a daemon
[03:18] <FMan> rsync is quite complicated, so I would just use WinSCP (allows to download a directory tree with one click)
[03:21] <teh_masterer_> FMan: but winscp is just an FTP program right? think thats the one i heard of. I already have filezilla as my ftp.
[03:22] <teh_masterer_> FMan: i was told rsync checksums to prevent errors when copying and it also preserves time stamps
[03:28] <FMan> so does SFTP, and in fact rsync does not preserve directory timestamps in my experience, so that's why I prefer other methods
[03:29] <teh_masterer_> FMan: oh really i thought it did and that was a huge perk of it. guess the person was misinformed themselves
[03:29] <teh_masterer_> FMan: so is Winscp better than filezilla? i know filezilla preserves date stamps but i dont think it checksums anything
[03:30] <FMan> rsync does preserve file datestamps and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30056566/how-to-perform-checksums-during-a-sftp-file-transfer-for-data-integrity
[03:31] <FMan> if you have Filezilla, you can use that - it is the same as WinSCP
[03:31] <Poster> I am not entirely sure you're environment, but also keep in mind you may be jumping from UNIX type permissions to NTFS type permissions, it's not going to be an exact copy in that regard
[03:32] <FMan> I normally keep Windows files and nix files separate :)
[03:34] <teh_masterer_> FMan: the only thing i want to backup is my plex servers contents so it shouldnt mess anything right? all the files are mkv, mp4
[03:35] <teh_masterer_> Poster: i want to backup plex on ubuntu server lts to windows 7
[04:00] <Poster> ok I am not familiar there, you may want to make note of the owner/permissions, if you end up copying them back to Ubuntu from Windows they will probably just come in with your default umask and owned by whomever does the upload
[06:11] <lordievader> Good morning
[06:25] <cpaelzer> good morning
[06:25] <cpaelzer> hi lordievader, hwo are you today?
[06:27] <lordievader> Doing good here, trying to wake up with coffee. How are you?
[06:27] <cpaelzer> the same, just without coffee :-)
[06:28] <lordievader> Good luck then ;)
[08:26] <Jenshae> Salut. o7
[12:05] <ztane> I've got some special iptables rules for 16.04 and packet forwarding. Normally I'd put them in /etc/interfaces for the corresponding interface as post-up; however this is xenial on AWS+cloudinit; where would be the proper place to put them?
[12:08] <andol> ztane: The easiest aproach is probably to drop a script under /etc/network/if-up.d/.
[12:09] <andol> ztane: You can look at some of the existing scripts there on how to best match actions to specific interfaces.
[12:32] <ztane> andol: ok thanks :)
[18:20] <nacc> rbasak: fyi, I pushed the run() changes just now
[18:35] <rbasak> nacc: ack
[18:36] <nacc> rbasak: jenkins is down, though, so still need that to complete before i'm confident :)
[21:00] <nacc> rbasak: let me know if you come back online -- and if not, let's do another quick sync tmrw. Given the timeline you gave for the default branch switch, I'd like to, at a minimum, get the importer changes landed this week so we can change the default and start reimporting at the same time (or the latter ahead of it)
[23:08] <nacc> rbasak: well, i'm spinning on these run() related failures. But I found another issue with the patches-uapplied build (it is generating a patch when it shouldn't)
