Singel File Filesystem

[DanielBu]

Hello all

I have the following Problem:

There is a new Buffalo LS WXLA in my Office and I want to backup my Linux-Laptop over wlan via backintime...

The Problem: It is only smb and ftp access. nmap show ssh and rsync but no user has permissions to access that. The password for root isn't known.

Via curlftpfs mounting there where some problems with permissions, because ftp didn't allow chmod to executable. Only read/write. But to restore if the system crashes, I nead all Permissions including user/group...
SMB-Mount ... is more worse - you know it...

So I got the Idea to touch a file on the curlftpfs mounted remote-directory and mount ist like isofs via loop..

It dosn't work. Because it isn't a block device.
OK - so I read a lot about mknod ... and all the Major and there Minor-Numbers. But I think I didn't understand all the stuff - Trying to mknod a new file as Blockdevice on the via curlftpfs mounted Directory .... didn't work... think because the Permissionlimit read/write by ftp-roules.

OK ... I want to backup into File. The easyest Way would be a tar-archiv... OK
But backintime didn't handel this.

Is there a good Idea for this Task?
Please help if your are able...

Thanks a lot !!!

Is there anybody with an Idea...?

Can you give me a tip where I have to ask for things like this?

These Buffalo units run a version of Linux (most are uLinux) so the source code is available from their web site. If yo want, you could enable inetd and NFS server capabilities on the device, and set the root password to whatever you want. Then you can access the system via telnet or ssh when necessary, such as setting up NFS exports.

I tried ... but since Firmware 1.24 the java-tool to set the rootpw didn't work ...
There are a lot of tuturials on the wiki... I know..

I think buffalo didn't want for future to make it so easy to hack your bosses buffalo...

It was very easy to nearly everybody.

But very mutch thanks for your response.

I hope you or an other one can give me new ideas for backing up via backintime to buffalo by saving permissions and user/group...

The last and garantie-loosing way for me where to change the image to a comunity-version to set up a full debian. But i like the Webfrontend for my team...

By the way this also isn't so easy like it where.... now you have to manipulate the ini with data about actualy firmware...

[Buffalo changed a lot I think...]

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with BIT. Do you have a URL for that? I know that you haven't posted enough yet to embed a real URL in your posts, but you can put some spaces in there to bypass the filters, such as www . xyzzy . com / zippy / doo / dah. We can remove the spaces and have a real url.
