transmission suddenly seems to write a lot of log messages. how can i stop those ?

[Copter]

@simistef: Add or edit

"message-level": 1,

to transmissions config file.

probably /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config/settings.json

Here is a description of all settings: http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles

Hi,
Thanks in advanced for your help. I have two questions.

1. How do you get VSFTPD to accept secure ftp connections?
2. How do you redirect the ftp directories to another haddrrive?

1. How do you get VSFTPD to accept secure ftp connections?

if you mean SFTP, then it is not an ftp, but ssh protocol. If you mean encrypting of ftp traffic, then read vsftpd documentation related to enabling of SSL transfers.

[vmoakley]

Are there directtions for doing it for OLEG software? I see docs for editing the config file. I thought the config file for vsftpd was recreated everytime the GUI changes? That is why they are in the temp folders. Thanks for answering my questions.

[al37919]

you may create your own config and restart it

killall vsftpd ; vsftpd /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf

if in your previous post you meant a possibility to perform this task using web-ui then answer would be negative

Hi to all!

I have wl500gpv2-1.9.2.7-d-r1222 firmware.
I want to put a LAN port in the same segment with WAN port (I want router and a pc to get their IPs from ISP's dhcp).

Does anybody know how to do this?

[wengi]

Hi,

very simple: use a switch/hub on the wan side.
Are you sure you will receive multiple IPs from your provider? Not using a ppp connection?

wengi

PS: I think there is some possibility to modify the internal switch, but i am not sure.

Yes Wengi! I'm very sure that I have two IPs from my provider. One IP for me and one IP for my brother. I was thinking that maybe, I find a solution to not buy a hub/switch )). I knew that.

I installed DD-WRT for my asuswl500gpv2 and it do that in a beautiful graphical way from the web interface (checking ports in vlan page). But, DD-WRT do not bridges with my secondary asuswl530g. And I like very much what can I do with Oleg firmware.

So, I will buy a switch, if I would not find a software solution.

Hi ,thank you for this great work!
I installed oleg's on WL 500 gp V2 ,and had no errors,torrents are working ...
Followed howto from first page until samba configuration is finished,but cannot access disk from windows or from linux?
On windows ,whe i open "network places" there are folders from disk but message says that there is no acces rights
On linux have no clue what to do to connect to disk (opensuse 11.2).When i click on network>my_router dialog box ishows with "workgroup" llready in, an waits for passw.(whitch i dont know) ,next is message "failed to retrieve shares..." (samba web interface works ok)
Would be simplest way to allow ftp in web interface?
Can you help me to get this samba working?
Thanks in advance!
