Integrate IDM on Firefox 5 to 18


Hi Friends,

In this post, I’m going to tell you how to integrate IDM on new release of Firefox i.e. Firefox 7.0. So let’s start.. 🙂

I think this small post will be useful for people, who use Internet Download Manager and have recently moved to Firefox 7.0. The old firefox addon(IDMCC) that came with IDM is not compatible with Firefox 7.0.

To integrate IDM CC on Firefox, download the addon below and install it on your Firefox 7.0 browser.

http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/idmmzcc/idmmzcc.xpi

If it is not working, download it from here

1. Open Firefox,
2.  Paste the link to the addressbar and Go Or Click the link directly,
3. Wait for the download,
4. Restart Firefox,

If you are still using old version of firefox, update your Firefox now by just clicking on the banner under Affiliates tab in sidebar.

Put the Web on FAST FORWARD..

Enjoy 🙂

Configure secure FTP Server on Fedora


Hello Friends,

In this article I’ll explain how to configure FTP server on Fedora.

Following settings also works on all fedora versions above 7

You need to be in root account for doing such configuration.

In Fedora versions above 7, portmap has been replaced by RPCBind. So trying following commands will not work

———————————————-
# rpm -qa portmap
# which ‘portmap’
# yum install portmap
# whereis portmap
———————————————-

To install RPCBind and NFS, use following command

# yum install rpcbind

# yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib

Step 1:

Add the following line in /etc/exports file using following command and save file.

# vi /etc/exports

/var/ftp/pub <tab> <your_ip_address>/<subnet_address>(no,sync,no_root_squash)

Step 2:

Start all the services required

# service vsftp start
# service rpcbind start

Step 3:

Then type this command

# chkconfig rpcbind on
# chkconfig nfs on

Step 4:

Go to /var/ftp/ and create the directory and add files that you want to share.

Step 5:

To check if FTP Server is working or not, type in browser

ftp://<your_ip_address>

Enjoy 😀
