Need to prefer file ownership while uploading through scp

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I have been tring to upload a file through a normal user to the Amazon Gnu/Linux server, but file owner is not preferring after a successful upload.



File ownership is taken from the directory, not from the user which I have used to move the file.



Example:



scp -i xxx.pem filename surya@publicipaddress:/home/surya

ls -lh filename 
-rwxrwxr-x 1 ec2-user ec2-user 1.7K Dec 24 11:30 filename


Here, After uploading a file, the ownership should be surya as I have used surya user to upload the file.






scp

  • Is your "ls" output from running ls on the remote system, or the local system? Did "filename" already exist on the remote system before you ran scp?

  • There may be something in the sshd_config that is forcing ownership change, or perhaps a setuid and setgid bit is set on a directory above the one you are uploading to (this will also force ownership change).

  • What is the output of ssh -i xxx.pem sutya@publicipaddress ls -lnd . filename ? Unix stores the ownership of a file as a numeric value, and ls consults things like the password file to translate them to names. If ec2-user and surya have the same number then as far as file ownership is concerned they are the same user (they can have different passwords etc)

The scp command doesn't preserve owner and group for copied files.

For this purpose you can use the next commands:




  1. rsync command with --owner (or -o) and --group(or -g) options.

    From man:
    -o, --owner preserve owner (super-user only)
    -g, --group preserve group

  2. or tar coomand:
    tar --owner=user --group=user -cpf - ./* | ssh -l user dest_server
    'tar xpf - -C /path/to/folder'

    If I understand the question correctly, it's not about preserving ownership, but that the file is created as owned by the remote ec2-user (no matter who the local owner is), even when the remote user is surya, and not ec2-user. Which likely means something on the remote host is enforcing this, whatever it is. Which likely means rsync will run into the same enforcement.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
