Cita Previa InterSAS for Android
damn it!
First, i’m sorry for the title, but…
- Have you ever had a coworker that deleted a directory or some files of a server?
- Have you ever had to reinstall a MaOSX Server caused of deleted files?
Well, that happened to me. Yesterday a coworker deleted /usr/bin folder content of MacOSX Server. I tried to copy files from my own Macbook… No! Failure!
Well, today, i waked up because of i had a dream repairing this problem. Has it ever happened to you?
Ok, let’s understood how can we recover those files. The shopping list is:
- MacOSX Server Installation DVD
- Pacifist: http://www.charlessoft.com/
- Macbook or other kind of computer with Mac OS
- 30 minutes
Install Pacifist, open Apple Install Disc, and search next packages:
- BSD.pkg
- BaseSystem.pkg
Inside them we’ll find /usr/bin folders. Just extract them to a directory on your Mac.
But, there is another problem, if we copy files using scp, we won’t copy them because of server doesn’t have /usr/bin/scp.
Ok, let’s copy scp to a http server and then download the file using Safari.
Copy it to /usr/bin and now, we could copy all files using scp.
Funny 😉
