How can I server a large file (2+ GB) over a local network using Knoppix 4.0.2CD?
I've got an image of a Debian partition that's about 3.1 GB. Using Knoppix I'd like to serve it up over the local network without requiring a username and password. In that way a simple fetch tool like wget can retrieve the file and send it to stdout. So far I have not come up with an ideal solution: - webserver: Apache 1.3 doesn't support large files - tftp: can't seem to get this to work. Can't find the logs to see what's wrong. $ cat /var/lib/tftpboot/foo.txt hello $ tftp 192.168.0.202 tftp> status Connected to 192.168.0.202. Mode: netascii Verbose: off Tracing: off Rexmt-interval: 5 seconds, Max-timeout: 25 seconds tftp> get foo.txt bar.txt Transfer timed out. - ftp: can't seem to get this to work, either. Can't find the logs to see what's wrong. $ nmap -p 21 192.168.0.202 | grep ftp 21/tcp open ftp $ ncftp -u knoppix -p 123456 192.168.0.202 NcFTP 3.1.7 (Jan 07, 2004) by Mike Gleason (http://www.NcFTP.com/ contact/). Remote host has closed the connection. Sleeping 15 seconds... - ssh: works, but requires a username and password, i.e is not easily scriptable. Any ideas of a way to serve up a file (read-only is fine) to multiple clients are gladly accepted. Also, any clues as to why tftp and ftp aren't working also gladly accepted.
