Hei @step

Hello @TheSebM8

@Tim I really don't understand what part of your question has not been answered in Gilles post ?

Do you have any suggestions how to copy specific file from remote host to remote? Im currently using scp root@192.168.1.56:/root/info.txt ./info.txt but i want that the file i copy from remote server, would add the data to the file, not overwrite it

from remote host to local*

@TheSebM8 the same with rsync -a I think

@TheSebM8 rsync --append, but you’d be better off asking a full-blown question on the main site

oh wait, you’re on your fact-gathering mission

so rsync won’t do the right thing

ssh root@192.168.1.56 'cat >> /root/info.txt' < /root/info.txt

should work @TheSebM8

maybe with a sh -c thrown in

ok I was not reading properly

Yea, both files on both machines have content inside them and the content from remote machine has to be copied over to local machine. so both content is kept. ill try what u wrote Stephen :P

oh wait @TheSebM8, from remote to local

so it’s the other way

ssh root@192.168.1.56 cat /root/info.txt >> /root/info.txt

oh @StephenKitt this one worked yes :P thank you !

Does anyone have an idea why it gives me my wrong public IP address? (using the following command " curl ipinfo.io/ip " )
My ip should end with .236, yet gives me .227

@TheSebM8 it does give my correct IP no proxy or stuff like that ?

no, nothing like that

what this one give you ?

monip.org

It works perfectly on 2 machines out of 9. The rest has wrong IPs

That one also gives me wrong ip

(im connected in Wi-Fi) so im not in the cable network

Im sadly back to the copying part.
How would one copy text from 3 different files into one and making a new file out of the 3 whilst the 3 files still contain their old information?

Basically.
File1: Hello
File2: Dear
File3: World

And file 4 would be:
Hello
Dear
World

I am running jmeter by launching the .sh script, once I do that I cannot start using the prompt again unless I ctrl-z, ctrl-c, or the script ends in some other way. How can I launch that script and still be able to use the same console after the script is launched. (i used to know how to do thi...

@StephenKitt No, that's a "mod notice", a mod-only feature. I didn't add it, but I can see why one of the others might have. That answer is accepted, so deleting it is problematic, so the notice i) sends a clear "please fix this" message to the OP and ii) shows the community at large that this isn't considered up to snuff, despite its being accepted.
