So, what does the server serve. If files then you have access to get files in. Copy files to the shared directory. If web pages, what services are active (PHP, Python, etc) and what is run. Very many possible ways in. If worse comes to worse, hex dump / editor - copy / paste your first basic exchange tool (serial tty from another machine). Good Hunting! Tod
Hi Tod, At the moment its a freshly built server, intended for legacy software to run on. No services are running on it except basic kernel and OS processes. I don't have any serial access to it aswell. So the only way in is via th network, or I have to go down to the datacentre. Any ideas? Thanks Dan
