Moving the Gate-and-Way installer on the Linux server

 

The Gate-and-Way RPM installation file can be downloaded from http://www.gate-and-way.com/download .

If you are a Linux expert you can download the file directly into your Linux server, but if you are using a Windows PC to read this manual and you have installed your first Linux server using the instructions provided herein, you now have to transfer the RPM file from the Windows PC to the Linux server.

  1. Boot your Linux system

  2. Type root at the Login: prompt. The Password is the one you chose at the Linux Installation phase

  3. Open a terminal session.
[root@gate-and-way root]# chkconfig wu-ftpd on
[root@gate-and-way root]# echo "upload /var/ftp / yes" >> /etc/ftpaccess
[root@gate-and-way root]# umask 0000 ; chmod 777 /var/ftp
[root@gate-and-way root]# service xinetd restart
  1. Now go to the Windows PC and open a Command Prompt (or MS-DOS Prompt)
C:\WINDOWS> cd directory_containing_the_RPM_file
C:\SOMEWHERE> ftp your_Linux_server's_IP_address
... Welcome message ...
User: ftp
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Password: insert_your_email_address
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> put Gate-and-Way-2.0-1.i386.rpm
...
200 PORT command successful.
...
ftp> quit
C:\SOMEWHERE> exit
  1. Now you can return on your Linux server.
[root@gate-and-way root]# chkconfig wu-ftpd off
[root@gate-and-way root]# service xinetd restart
[root@gate-and-way root]# exit

All done !. The RPM file is now available in the /var/ftp directory on your Linux server.
