Using Ruby to list directory names from a remote machine

The first line of code executes an external shell command which retrieves directory names into an array. The second line of code displays each directory making sure to chop the '/', and '\n' from the name.

dir_listing = `ssh 192.168.1.10 'ls */ -d'`
dir_listing.each { |directory| puts directory.chop.chop }

Note: In this example ssh access to the remote machine does not prompt the user for a password as the hosts know each other. see ssh-keygen.

Mount SSH using MacFUSE

This will also list the voume in the Finder, thanks to the volname option (I think)

mkdir -p ~/mnts/formandfx
sshfs kmarsh@formandfx.com: ~/mnts/formandfx -oping_diskarb,volname=formandfx

Connecting to a local database on a remote machine

I had a MySQL instance on a remote server that had only local access. I wanted to connect to that database via my local copy of CocoaMysql. Using ssh portforwarding you can do it like this:

ssh -N -L <port_number>:127.0.0.1:3306 remote_machine

so you can now open CocoaMysql and connect to localhost, bla, bla but if you use the <port_number> assigned above you should see your remote database.

ssh and scp without typing a password each time

* You can create and exchange ssh keys to avoid repeatedly typing your password.


Source:      ssh-keygen -t dsa                                     Type this once per log-in session
Source:      Now copy the .ssh/id_dsa.pub file to <Destination>.
Source:      scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub userid@<Destination>:tempid        we've renamed it tempid.
Destination: cat tempid >> .ssh/authorized_keys                     
add the contents of tempid to .ssh/authorized_keys.
Destination: rm tempid.

Migrate a MySQL Database to another server

Use the below in SSH to move a MySQL database between servers. Super handy if the database is larger than 7MB and you can't use phpMyAdmin.
