you have to copy a file to the root directory...

IM using winscp to copy a netapp host utility, but it must be copied into the directory "root" and run it from that directory.

Of course, using winscp, as I can only log in with a user account that I created in esx and not root. How to copy a file to the directory root?

That's what the Solution says to do, does that mean that I have to copy the files in the root directory?

ESX host utilities install script fails when it is called in 'su' environment

Keywords: VMware ESX host utilities

Solution

Utilities of the host needs to the environment of the root, or by logging in as "root" or by switching to the root with su - environment

Installing the utilities of the host in the root environment by running the command: su -

You can use root - as long as you allow root ssh access - what is advised.

Another alternative is to download Veeam FastSCP (free) and use it - with this you can authenticate with your user account non-root, but you can elevate your privileges specifying the root account. It is the method and the tool I use. You'll have to excuse my lack of terminology Linux

  • Unable to save the files in the root directory of windows 7

    When I try to save a file in the directory root (c:\) on a Windows 7 PC I get a message saying "you have not ti permission to save in this location." Contact the administrator for permission.

    On this PC, I am a member of the Administrators group.

  • In Windows 7 when you try to copy files to an external hard drive, getting the error "are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?

    I know there have been a few posts on this in the past, but I have a slightly different query.

    To copy files from my drive NTFS of Windows 7 64 bit for my Western Digital My Book World Edition II 2 GB player manually, not with the WD software provided), for some files, the following message appears.
    "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?  The X file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location. »
    After investigation, it appears that Western Digital My Book World Edition II is not NTFS format and is, in fact, driven Linux.
    Their technical support has confirmed that, despite the message, it is safe to copy files and rely on this backup (I want to backup my drive HARD whole so I can do a clean install - so it's really important!).
    Is anyone able to advise exactly what means the message in terms of properties lost?

    If you right-click on one of the files in Windows Explorer, then select Properties, you will see the Details tab of the properties he wouldn't if the files have been copied to a drive not NTFS. They are written in an Alternate Data Stream (ADS), and the FAT format readers include ADS.

    It depends on the file type of the importance of these properties. If you have spent a lot of time, adding titles and comments and authors and authors e-mail addresses to docprops your Word documents, for example, that the work would be lost.

    If you can live with the loss of these properties, go ahead - standard properties will be re-writings in the file when you restore from backup. It's of course time and resources.

    To avoid this problem, format your external drive to use the NTFS system.

    I tried to import pictures to destination Macintosh HD or my external hard drive but it continue to go out with the same message "could not copy a file at the location requested. (114) items 1-100: articles 101-114.

    Thank you very much

    Hi josepht,.

    Looks like your destination folder does not have a full read and write permissions.

    Try to set the destination as a specific folder that contains all the permissions on your local or external drive, then, check.

    "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?" what adaptation .jpg files to thumbdrive.

    Hello

    The USB drive is formatted in NTFS (New Technology File System) or FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32)?

    Windows stores the file on NTFS metadata using a feature called Alternate Data Streams. In other words, metadata is stored in an another 'stream' (an object file with a different identity system) as the stream that contains the file data. Since FAT32 does not support ADS, given in these alternative streams cannot be copied and will be lost if you continue copying.

    If you have all the data on the USB, then you can format the drive. If unsaved data then you must back up the data on the USB key on the hard disk of the computer, and then restore it after perform the format.

    Try formatting the USB drive to NTFS and check if the problem persists. To do this, follow these steps.

    a. Insert the key USB and go menu start, then computer.

    b. right-click on the USB key, and then click Format.

    c. under "File System", select "NTFS" and then click Start. Once the format is done, check if you can copy the files successfully.

    I hope this helps.

    I JUST bought this new macbook pro and Lightroom installed, imported 2 lots of pictures, but all of a sudden he kept denying my imports with "could not read the file" or "couldn't copy file at the location requested.  Help, please!

    Your use of the word "files" (in the plural) still makes me believe that you have not checked the permissions on the folder that is appropriate (in the singular).

    You must determine the Destination of the Lightroom Import dialog window Panel and see which folder Lightroom is really tr6ing to copy photos in (which may have been accidentally changed and is not what you may have used in the past) and change the permissions to write to this folder.
