Find the Path of Programs and Binaries in a Linux Server via SSH

Last Updated on Saturday, 24 September 2011 12:23 Written by Richi González Sunday, 18 September 2011 12:00

Hello,

If you are not on a shared hosting package, you may not know the paths of certain binaries, apps, etc, such as Ffmpeg, PHP, FlvTool2, etc. In this article, I will tell you a way of knowing your binaries paths. You must have SSH access to your Linux (not Windows) server. You do not need root access.

Difficulty level: Medium (Easy if you have basic Linux terminal knowledge).

NOTE: In this tutorial, I will not cover how to establish a SSH connection (that is coming soon!)

[HOW-TO] Force mount unclean shutdowned Windows NTFS or FAT32 drive in Linux

Last Updated on Sunday, 31 July 2011 05:01 Written by Richi González Sunday, 31 July 2011 04:59

Hello,

I am writing this article, because recently a friend of mine brought me his Windows laptop to backup some of his files and reinstall the O.S. I was having trouble because he had a Blue Screen of Death that wouldn’t let me boot into Windows, so to backup the files, I decided to use an Ubuntu Live CD and look for them in there. In Ubuntu I found out that the hard drive wasn’t being mounted, and figured out it was because the computer was turned off the hard way (power button pressed for a few seconds, or AC power cord disconnected).

To mount it I found out that running a very simple command in the terminal would force Ubuntu to mount it, or if you have access to the Windows O.S., simply restart your computer the correct way, and it you won’t need to force mount it.

Hello,
