Remote Commands Over SSH
Checksum Commands
Your BackSure filesystem has access to the following checksum commands:
md5, sha1, sha256 and rmd160
Remote checksums are run in this manner:
ssh 1234@usw-s001.backsure.com sha256 some/file
Pipelining Through 'dd' (Database Dumps)
pg_dump -U postgres db | ssh 1234@usw-s001.backsure.com \
"dd of=db_dump"
or perhaps:
mysqldump -u mysql db | ssh 1234@usw-s001.backsure.com \
"dd of=db_dump"
Miscellaneous Unix Commands
The other remote commands that can be used over ssh are:
echo, cp (GNU), ls, mkdir, pwd, chmod, ln, mv, rm, rmdir, touch, chgrp, groups, id, passwd, quota
For example, you can run something like:
ssh 1234@usw-s001.backsure.com touch some/fileand then:
ssh 1234@usw-s001.backsure.com rm -rf some/other/fileThe 'passwd' command is special, as it requires a '-t'
ssh -t 1234@usw-s001.backsure.com passwdUnique Features
