How to download a file from headless linux server

We need to do this, before we could transfer files into it. The instruction below shows you how to partition and format a hard-disk using terminal commands. First of, we need to confirm that our media hard-drive is properly detected in our server. To do that, use the following command-line:. The output should be similar to the show image below. There are no photos with those IDs or post does not have any attached images!

Base from the output shown in the image, you could easily determine which one is your target drive. In my case, my target drive is a 1TB hard drive, while my boot drive is an 80GB hard drive with 3 partitions. See image below.

Then hit enter when asked about First sector and enter again when asked about Last sector. At this point, you should have already created a single primary partition. To double check on this, you may type in sudo fdisk -l again. In order for us to access the drive via mount points or folder name, we should mount it first via fstab. We need to create a custom folder for this.

In my case, I will name my mount point as MyMedia. Now we need to put the following configs in our fstab file, so our media drive will be auto-mounted each time our server boots up:.

Note: The user who runs the dropboxd command will have the contents of the Dropbox account synced in their home directory. When you run that command for the first time and because you're running Dropbox without a GUI , you'll be presented with a link.

Dropbox will automatically create the sync folder in the user's home directory on the server , and you're almost good to go. Unfortunately, the Dropbox client you downloaded doesn't have the means by which you can control the service.
