Re: Listing the command lines that I have written
You can edit the line when it is on screen using the left/right cursor keys and delete etc. You can highlight the text in a terminal window then copy with shift ctrl c and paste with shift ctrl v. Ah! so i can just alter it on the screen and then re-run it and it will overwrite the initial command?

Re: Listing the command lines that I have written
Thanks all, I'm getting there (slowly) 
Is there a way of altering a pice of code I have entered into the shell window? Or a way of deleting it and then entering a new updated piece?

Listing the command lines that I have written
Hi
I've set up several lines of code to do different things on my PI. e.g. move files that are older than 7 days from one folder to another.
How can I list all that I have written ?
and can I alter them ?
or will I have to re-write them over again?
Thanks

Re: web link query?
You may do better asking on the forum of the camera maker rather than here but my guess is that the camera software is designed only to allow ftp access from addresses on the local LAN and not remotely. This is designed to stop bots trying to download ‘incriminating’ videos or to take over the came...

Re: How do I get at my files?
Review the long thread above. I'd say the first step is to verify that it works over the LAN and then the next step is to add in a password using Basic Authentication described in the link in the second post. The idea is not to provide top security but to keep out the idly curious and, more importa...

Re: How do I get at my files?
Nope. Look at the end of the ones you added as opposed to the one that is also there, at least from what you posted, they are lacking a semicolon. Without a semicolon, nginx won't know that it has gotten to the end of the line and the next line would get merged into the "root" directive p...

Of the log entries that refer to ngninx, there is one which says something about the nginx configuration file. I think I see the error but would like to try to get you more comfortable with the logs.

Sory error generated when I saved the file and ran that code:-
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl restart nginx
Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status nginx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
