RSE is a framework that supports plugging in many different communication protocols.
|
2006-06-30 08:36:53 +00:00
|
|
|
By default, the dstore, FTP and ssh protocol plug-ins are provided, with dstore being
|
|
|
|
|
the most richest in features.</p>
|
2006-06-27 12:36:05 +00:00

|
|
Dstore requirs a server to run on the remote system. There are several methods to
|
|
|
|
|
get a server launched for a particular user, the most easy one to set up is the
|
|
|
|
|
daemon method. To start a dstore launcher daemon,
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>On Windows:<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Extract the rseserver-*-windows.zip package and cd to it.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Run <b>setup.bat</b>, then run <b>daemon.bat</b>.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>On Linux or AIX or other Unix:<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Extract the appropriate rseserver-*.tar package.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Become <b>root</b> and cd to the package directory.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Make sure that a <b>Sun or IBM JRE 1.4</b> or higher is in the PATH. The gcj-based java installation
|
|
|
|
|
that comes with many Linux distributions will not do! You can download a Sun JRE from
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://java.sun.com">http://java.sun.com</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Run <b>perl daemon.pl</b>.
|
|
|
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Note:</b> In its default configuration for testing, the dstore daemon accepts <b>unencrypted
|
|
|
|
|
passwords</b> from the RSE client. For production use, SSL can be enabled in order to encrypt
|
|
|
|
|
connections, or the RSE server can be launched differently (e.g. through ssh).</p>
|
2006-06-30 08:36:53 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
When no root access is available on the remote system (typically UNIX), normal
|
|
|
|
|
users can start a dstore server for themselves only, instead of a daemon:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>On the remote system, run <b>perl server.pl [portname]</b></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>On the RSE client, create the dstore connection</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>After creating the connection, select it and choose Properties
|
|
|
|
|
<ul><li>On <b>Server Launcher Settings</b>, choose <b>Connect to Running Server</b></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>On the <b>Subsystem</b> page, enter the port number you used for starting the server</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>When connecting, enter just anything for username and password (these will be ignored).</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The server.pl script has more options, e.g. for using the first available
|
|
|
|
|
port instead of a well-known one, or for restricting access to a single
|
|
|
|
|
user ID. Since all dstore communication will be on the single TCP port,
|
|
|
|
|
this port can also be forwarded through an ssh tunnel if desired.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

the goal of this milestone was "functional complete" for soliciting

user and API feedback, we still gave a go for this milestone.
