You have to use "enable" to make it permanent.
Now that I'm logged-in on the desktop and remotely on the laptop how do I trasfer thisfile.txt from the laptop to the desktop? Do I issue a command to send from the laptop where I'm remotely logged-in or do I issue some 'get' command in the desktop to get the file out of the laptop?
you use sftp: sftp sftp://username@hostname.domain Or "sshfs" to create a virtual filesystem. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
