heh

I dealt with something a little less powerful than that, at a old job

was for the guys doing modeling of car parts for JLR.

JBis

Anyone know where the log file for FTP is on Windows 10?

Client.

Burgi

what client?

JBis

What do you mean?

Burgi

what FTP client are you using?

JBis

Client is Windows 10 machine. Want to know where the log file is or how to see previous connections.

Ah

Just regular Windows FTP.

(CMD ftp)

Burgi

1:11 PM

via cmd line?

JBis

Yes

Burgi

ah

no idea, i didn't think it did logging

JBis

Is there anyway to start logging?

Q: how can I save the output of windows internal FTP client?

UPDATED: on win2k it seems it works OK. Sorry for the confusion. MS Windows Vista internal ftp client has a strange behavior. When redirecting its output and error to a file, the errors do not show up there: ftp -n -s:commands.txt host >output.log 2>&1 When running it from Task Schedul...

JBis

Or to tell what's causing it to run? I see it in network logs but not sure what its using it.

Ooo thanks ill take a look

@Burgi Well I am not intentionally connecting so I can't enter that when connecting.

Burgi

1:14 PM

it looks like you have to specify the logging on a per session basis

Bob

JBis

@Burgi It appears to be an application causing it to run just not sure which one

Bob

When Borderlands bugs out...

JBis

thanks by the way

Bob

It was meant to chuck down like 8 drops. They... just kept coming o.O

Burgi

1:15 PM

@JBis check the task scheduler

if you know the destination server you might be able to make an educated guess as to the app using ftp

JBis

Checking...

@Burgi Theres a lot of things there how can I look through efficiently

@Burgi Seeing if I can find out that information. Correction: Software was security software not networking software so not sure destination but checking networking

Cant find

Burgi

sadly its a case of going through each task and checking manually

JBis

brutal

Burgi

user tasks tend to be in the root folder

there are about 30

if you know the time it runs you can match up the tasks in the scheduler

JBis

wdym The tree I'm looking at is Task Scheduler Library>Microsoft>Windows>Many, Many Folders with couple tasks in each.

Burgi

1:31 PM

yeah just click the top level folder

thats all the user tasks

JBis

So "Task Scheduler Library"? It doesn't display recursively (tasks in folders in it)

Burgi

correct

JBis

so I gotta go through each

grr windows

Burgi

well not really

you only need to look at the ones with execute times that match your security log

JBis

@Burgi Yes. But how to search?

/filter

Burgi

1:38 PM

JBis

@Burgi Just checked manually nothing matches time any other idea?

trying to find destination

JBis

2:14 PM

Anyone have any other ideas?

Nick

2:30 PM

um, set fire to the sun?

JBis

@Nick :|

bertieb

Do you have enough info now to post a full Q on the main site?

JBis

@bertieb I guess I could. If I can't figure out soon I think I can.

Bob

Don't throw your drink into the wrong trashcan!

lmao

we've all made that joke about the mac pro looking like a bin...

trying to setup 4G router for a site

and can't get signal to test >_<

cya

bertieb

\o

@JBis Fingers crossed! If you do figure it out, you could post it as a self-answered question if it would be of help to others :)

JBis

@bertieb Yep. Gonna try our great nosed (get the reference? Awful joke.) application Wirehshark.

Rickyfox

I have a variable in bash that points to a file, so that "echo $MYVAR" returns "FILE:/path/to/file". How can I simply get the path, without the "FILE:" in front of it? Do I really need to split the string or is there an easier way?

ah, ended up finding a solution using cut

XKCD

3:39 PM

The heat index is calculated via looking up the "effective temperature" in a table of air temperature and humidity values, and then adding a bunch more degrees because it feels WAY hotter than that.

djsmiley2k

3:55 PM

@XKCD truth.

welp. that's me sending a way a router which I kind of have no clue how it's working

but alas, no time to fix it >_<

@Rickyfox gonna say cut or sed using : as a delimiter would work.

Ben N

Little late on the scheduled task thing, but you could have used PowerShell!

A combination of Get-ScheduledTask and Get-ScheduledTaskInfo (not sure why they're separate TBH) will do the job

Burgi

@BenN i thought you were too busy so i didn't invoke Start-BenN --verbose ;P

Ben N

Hehe, I just got my coffee

heather

4:41 PM

i'm running windows 10 on a mac. how the heck can i enable bios?

i've tried a variety of key combinations recommended but none of them are working.

Ben N

You can get into the advanced startup menu by holding Shift while clicking the Restart option

From there you can get into system setup on most PCs, not sure about Macs

heather

okay, i'll try that and see if it works

Burgi

Mac's don't have a traditional BIOS

but i haven't bootcamped anything so i have no idea

RegularGDPR

Oh hey my S7 has 4 antenna for every band that it's not useful on and not on any of the ones it is useful on

djsmiley2k

it still wouldn't have bios...

heather

4:48 PM

that didn't work.

a menu came up, and i clicked through different options, but none of them had any way to enable bios.

Ben N

What exactly did it do?

Oh

What do you mean by "enable BIOS"?

djsmiley2k

Mac's don't have a bios

hell, most computers don't anymore either.

heather

i'm trying to install the "ISE Development Environment" program - it's basically to program FPGAs - which my dad installed successfully on a similar machine, so i'm now trying to do it on mine.

djsmiley2k

ok....

And what does that have to do with bios?

heather

the error when i try to run the installer is 'virtualization is not enabled in bios'.

Burgi

4:51 PM

yeah....

what era mac are we talking about here?

heather

uh... one moment, let me check

Burgi

some CPUs don't allow virtualization

heather

according to my system summary, a MacbookPro 11,4

it provides a BIOS version and date, is that useful?

it says: Apple Inc. MBP114.88Z.0183.B00.1804091616, 4/9/2018

Burgi

> restart your machine and use the option key at startup to select the OS-X partition and boot into the Mac OS again. there go to the System preferences and then to the Startup disk option. Then you select your boot camp partition and click reboot.

hooboy, okay

This thread explains that you have to boot using the CSM-BIOS layer. discussions.apple.com/thread/6720461?tstart=0 ; In addition it also provides a command line to permanently fix this problem. First use diskutil list to work out Windows partition, then sudo /usr/sbin/bless --device /dev/disk0s4 --setBoot --legacy --legacydrivehint /dev/disk0 — Chui Tey Dec 23 '16 at 23:10

heather

okay, i'm in the startup disk option and i selected the boot camp partition, but it won't let me reboot

it says "the bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk"

Burgi
