So, does anyone know of a gnome-applet-sshmenu RPM package for el6 (or can anyone provide one)? It should include SSHMenu v3.18.

There is a package for FC15:

ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/releases/15/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/gnome-applet-sshmenu-3.18-3.fc15.noarch.rpm, but I don't know if it can/should be used in CentOS 6.

Notes: sshmenu (v3.15) exists in EPEL for CentOS 5, but gnome-applet-sshmenu does not. Both (v3.15) exist in Extras repo. Neither exists in EPEL for Centos 6.

Anyone? Can someone advise on how to find/create an el6 RPM for gnome-applet-sshmenu?

SSHMenu is a real must on CentOS 6 Gnome desktop.

Thanks, Nick

Hello Nick,

I've tried building this rpm for Centos a while ago and gave up in frustration, it depends on a sh*tload of ruby stuff, pardon me saying. Try to see if there are RPMs for Fedora 12, these could work, but you'd have to install all deps by hand which can result in some mess, so use at your own risk.

Since you have some (even bad) experience with trying to build gnome-applet-sshmenu on el6, could you check if this:

So, first, were you building as sshmenubuilder, and in your home directory? Did that entire path and file exist in /home/sshmenubuilder?

mark

ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/archive.fedoraproject.org/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/source/SRPMS/sshmenu-3.16-2.fc12.src.rpm

can be modified/adapted to create an el6 RPM?

Dependencies specified therein:

BuildRequires: ruby Requires: openssh-askpass Requires: ruby(abi) = 1.8 Requires: ruby(gtk2) ... Group: User Interface/Desktops Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} Requires: ruby(gconf2) Requires: ruby(panelapplet2)

If other dependencies exist for Centos 6, it would be useful to add them.

I tried to rpmbuild (I only commented-out patches for 3.15, and changed to 3.18 in spec file - of course I used the latest 3.18 tar.gz) but there was an error - see below. Any suggestions? Am I doing sth wrong?

Serv-U is very inexpensive and can create unlimited FTP accounts, but crashes pretty often with unknown reasons.

Axway SecureTransport is a riduculously expensive: about $1K per FTP account! and each FTP account has 2 months cool-down period on between remove old accounts and adding new ones. It is just far too expensive and over kill for regular FTP uses.

Any one has experiences with SFTP/HTTPS based file transfer solutions, open sources or commercial is fine, as long as it is not too expensive.

Thanks.

None of the 2 protocols have to do with FTP. SFTP is served by OpenSSH and HTTPS by default by Apache.

So what is you issue not using what CentOS provides?

Alexander

Thanks a lot for input.

The reason why we tested Serv-U, Axway ST, and other similar products for file transfer is for consolidation and security. We all known that Centos can provide SFTP for file in and file out with openssh, and Apache/HTTPS for distribution read only files. But our requirements are:

1, both file in and file out functions for both SFTP protocol (port 22) and apache/HTTPS (port 443).  2, an rich-feature client side program/applet inside popular browsers (IE, Firefix, etc), as our customers are not tech savvy.  3, an consolidated user account management system, each user can use both SFTP and HTTPS freely. a web based user management interface is perferred, though not required.

4, preliminary system-level and user-level file upload/download controls, file/directory access controls.

Based on above, it seems difficult to use ProFTD, or Apache combination. But I may be completely wrong,  your input here is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks.

First, you should not have used Reply option to start new thread, but what is done is done.

Next, I do not understand what you actually want.

From ProFTPD site: "By contrast, SFTP refers to "Secure File Transfer Protocol", and is not related to FTP in any way. SFTP is based on the SSH2 protocol, which uses binary encoding of messages over a secure channel. Unlike FTP, SSH2 only uses a single TCP connection, and multiplexes multiple transfers or "channels" over that single connection. For this reason, many sites prefer SFTP to FTPS for secure transfer of data. "

So you just need Midnight Commander of Krusader (with sshfs added I think) for intermittent access to filesystem via SSH, and if you use Windows there is "WinSCP" SFTP client.

As server, ANY Linux box with allowed SSH connections will do.

If you want automounting of SFTP (Remote SSH) filesystem, follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Autofs#Remote_SSH

I've finally managed to create a working RPM. I'll post details and a src.rpm when I can - it will take some time to make it clean enough for publication.

For those who are interested in using SSHMenu in Gnome 2 / Centos 6, here is the quick and dirty way (the following are for an x86_64 system, but it should be very similar for i386):

Install: ruby ruby-libs from base repo.

Then:

ruby-gconf2-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-cairo-1.4.1-2.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-atk-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-gnome2-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-pango-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-gtk2-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-panelapplet2-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-gdkpixbuf2-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-libart2-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-glib2-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64 ruby-gnomecanvas2-0.19.3-3.el6.opsec.x86_64

from: http://rpm.centoshelp.org/el6/

Then, install: sshmenu-3.18-7.el6.noarch from: http://dl.marmotte.net/rpms/redhat/el6/x86_64/

and, finally my RPM, which you can find here:

http://www.eurobjects.com/files/gnome-applet-sshmenu-3.18-7.el6.noarch.rpm

Enjoy!

Nick
