There are often permission issues with public key authentication in Windows. See: Troubleshooting Windows OpenSSH server issues in http://comptb.cects.com/1439-openssh-rsa-authentication-for-windows-and-linux and see if that fixes it. You can force public key authentication also by editing the sshd_config file. See Step 3 – Edit sshd_config in the same article.

Hi,
I have got a problem with Openssh on Windows XP.
The steps are same as using keygen to create private and public key, copy public key to another system .ssh folder, append it to authorized keys. restart the opensshd on both system.
Still getting prompt for password.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vikash

Try this. It's not 100% tested. You may want to try it out with some test files first. Just enter your file paths in the variables dirA, dirB, dirC. I didn't see anything in your request about zipping files with WinRAR; just file manipulation.

REM checkmovewav.bat 1/3/12

:start

@echo off
setlocal

:init
   
set dirA=C:\Utilities\Batchfiles\wavinputfolder\
set dirB=C:\Utilities\Batchfiles\winrarzipfolder\
set dirC=C:\Utilities\Batchfiles\winrarzipsnotfound\

if not exist "%dirA%" echo "%dirA%" not found! & goto :EOF
if not exist "%dirB%" echo "%dirB%" not found! & goto :EOF
if not exist "%dirC%" echo "%dirB%" not found! & goto :EOF

    
for /R "%dirA%" %%f in (*.wav) do (
if not exist "%dirB%%%~nf.zip" (
echo "%%~nxf" NOT found in "%dirB%" 
copy "%%f" "%dirC%"

) else (

echo zipped version of "%%~nxf" FOUND in "%dirB%"
del "%dirB%%%~nf.zip"
move "%%f" "%dirB%"

)

)

echo.
echo Operation Completed
echo.

pause
  
:eof

Can anyone write me a script to do the following?
Write a script to make WinRAR do the following please?

> 1.. To read a directory called H:\wavinputfolder sequentially;
> 2.. To extract the file name (not extension);
> 3.. To look up a file (not extension) corresponding to this name in
> H:\winrarzipfolder;
> 4.. If not found, to copy the file (and its .wav extension) from
> H:\waveinputfolder to H:\winrarzipsnotfound and then loop back to 1 to read
> the next wav; at end to exit;
> 5.. If found, to delete the contents of the zip file and replace it with
> the wav file (complete with its extension).
> 6.. To loop back to 1 until at end exit.
> Example:

> H:wavinputfolder H:\winrarzipfolder
> H:\winrarzipsnotfound Action

> Fred.wav Fred.zip
> Replace contants of fred.zip, viz., with fred.wav
> Sue.wav Sue.zip
> As above
> Mike.wav Joe.zip
> Mike.wav Copy (not cut) mike.wav to
> the “notfound folder”
> Joe.wav Joe.zip
> As for fred and sue
> End of folder
> Exit

> Thank you.

Comment on Recovering from an Accidental Partial Format of an External USB Drive by Chris Galli

Thank you for this article! It was a Godsend to find this great tool! I too partially reformatted my drive on accident after troubleshooting my computer when my video card died out. I used this seemingly rough program but it took it seconds to fix my previously unreadable drive. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to have all my hard work and memories back!

Comment on Test Bootable USBs with a Virtual Machine by admin_tb

Although related, that topic isn't covered because it's more complex. Qemu is generally a command line tool. Qemu Manager replaces the command line with an easy to use GUI that almost anyone can use. For further information, see QEMU Emulator User Documentation.

Nice article. I have a question though. How do you boot usb only with qemu (no qemu manager)?
