centos lrzsz

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:

1. wget http://ohse.de/uwe/releases/lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz
2. tar -xzvf lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz
3. cd lrzsz-0.12.20
4. ./configure –-prefix=/usr/local/lrzsz
5. make
6. sudo make install
7. cd /usr/bin
8. ln -s /usr/local/lrzsz/bin/lrz rz
9. ln -s /usr/local/lrzsz/bin/lsz sz

now try running rz on your ec2 install, the file upload window should be shown :)
