Why QooQle?

I just realised that many of my visitors may be wondering why I named my blog QooQle.

‘qooqle’ ~ ‘google’ - rings a bell? :)

Transfer files using SCP and RSYNC for transfer resume

For transfering files from a UNIX machine to another UNIX machine I use the SCP command. It goes like this:

scp yourFile user@remoteMachine:any/path/on/remote/machine/

This helps me alot when I’m transfering large files and I don’t want to do it from my laptop because I’m forced to wait until the transfer ends. So I just initiate the transfer from my local server that is running LINUX.

If the internet connection failes and the file transfer is broken I use RSYNC command to resume the transfer from the point where the connection failed. Here is an example of how to use RSYNC for that:

rsync –partial –progress –rsh=ssh yourFile user@remoteMachine:any/path/on/remote/machine/

Now let me qickly explain the parametters used:

–partial : keep partially transferred files. This allows us to resume the transfer.
–progress: show progress during transfer. This is prety self explanatory, you can use it only if you want.
–rsh=ssh: This is for tunneling RSYNK through SSH to have a secure communication between the 2 machines.

That’s it!

InterAKT is now an Adobe Company

Finally, the rumors we have been hearing for 3 months were made official, the papers were signed and now Interakt enters the big league.

The terms of the deal were not made public, but Alexandru Costin seems very hapy about it, even wrote a post on his blog with the headline “How I got to sell a company to Adobe”.

What this acquisition means to Adobe?
Well … it will boost Adobe’s presence in Eastern Europe, and also enhance Adobe products, including Macromedia® Dreamweaver® ( extend Dreamweaver’s capabilities for web application development ) and Adobe® Flex® software.
