Mechlar's questions

We has some proprietary audio files we are streaming via html5. These files sit in an Amazon S3 bucket.

The audio files have special high and low pass filters and other scientific alterations and were recorded by our own orchestra.

The files won't be available for direct download, but we are streaming them with html5 audio.

Any super user could easily watch the http requests, see what the audio file url is, punch that in their address bar, then download it. Which is against our terms of agreement which they agree to.

We want it so only our website can access the files and use them within our application.

I can see that you can allow by IP:

<Directory /var/www/>
  <Files filename.ext>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 192.168.1.1
  </Files>
</Directory>

But what about by domain name/server?

Would putting our server IP there do the trick? Local IP? I wouldn't think so since I am guessing that checks against the client's IP from the browser.

I understand anyone with the right sound card or software can record the files themselves while listening. Oh well, my goal isn't to make it impossible, its to make it harder.

So the question in a nutshell is, how do I make it so only our website can access the audio files and stream them to the user?

Thanks!

I am using PSCP to upload some files from Windows to Linux. I can do it fine just uploading one file at a time. But I have some very large directories and I want to upload an entire directory at once.

I have tried:

pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes\* [email protected]:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/*

Throws error: "pscp: remote filespec /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/*: not a directory"

and

pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes\ [email protected]:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes/

Throws error: "scp: includes: not a regular file"

and

pscp -i C:\sitedeploy\abt-keypair.ppk includes [email protected]:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/includes

Throws error: "scp: includes: not a regular file"

I need to access my work computer from my home computer. Both run Windows 7. I have completely setup both computers to run RDP.

I just can't figure out how to connect to my work computer. When I run the Remote Desktop Connection Client its asks for a computer name or IP. I know what the IP for the network is at the office where my computer is but that isn't enough info to be able to connect to my computer there.

We have another computer setup for RDP at our office (I didn't set it up though) and I can RDP to it just fine from home because I have the full IP to that computer. For Example, I can connect by using 555.555.555.555:22737, note the bolded part of the number at the end.

How do I figure out what that bold number would be for my computer on the network? If that is not something in place, how do I set it up?

Thanks in advance!
