Installing Zmodem Protocol Tool lrzsz on Amazon EC2 Instance
There is no default zmodem protocol support on amazon ec2 instance, so we need to install one manually (We use lrzsz as example here. You can get the latest version on lrzsz's website). Follow these simple steps to install:
wget http://ohse.de/uwe/releases/lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz
tar -xzvf lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz
cd lrzsz-0.12.20
./configure--prefix=/usr/local/lrzsz
make
sudo make install
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/local/lrzsz/bin/lrz rz
ln -s /usr/local/lrzsz/bin/lsz sz
now try running rz on your ec2 install, the file upload window should be shown :)
