Dear All,
I want to share files between my sidux desktop and my linux mint laptop. I thought I would give filezilla a whirl. I have never used anything but samba and that has been a few years. I have done alot of reading about using ssh and fstp but do not quite have it down. I thought it was basically type in terminal sftp username@ip . I installed filezilla on linuxmint and sidux then I tried to reach the sidux machine from linuxmint with both sftp in a terminal and filezilla. I just got a no route to connect to message. I must be missing some important steps here. Any help or great how-to's to read will be greatly appreciated.
If this helps, my sidux desktop is hardwired to the wireless router and the linuxmint is wirelessly connected to the router. I am not sure which machine should be the client or server nor what exactly that means.I tried to reach my sidux machine from the linuxmint laptop. Iin the terminal of the linuxmint laptop I placed the username of the sidux machine and then its ip address which was easy to find thanks to the network icon in sidux. It did not connect. What do I have to do in sidux to get it to accept my linuxmint laptop knocking at its door with sftp?
Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,
Marcia |

on laptop, install openssh-server. This is the remote pc, or server.
on desktop, install openssh, or since it's sidux, it's probably installed already.
sshfs is easy to use. from the sidux manual:
http://manual.sidux.com/en/ssh-en.htm#ssh-fs
First you try ssh remote_ip, and see if you can login. If you can, then sshfs command will
mount the directory of remote pc to your local directory. You should create a empty directory
as mountpoint (with mkdir command) when you try to mount with sshfs for the first time. |

Thank you very much for your answers. I did install the openssh-server and tried ssh in the terminal. It worked! Thanks alot. Then I decided to download and try krusader. I heard it works well with ssh, etc. It worked very well.
Thanks alot. I think I have this figured out now.
Sincerely,
Marcia |
