So *should* I worry about the ftp used by webcam in SuSE 8.1? If so, how can I get the ssh option to not prompt for the password on every transfer????
You'll need to set up shared SSH host keys. It's not too hard to do.. take a quick look at Google for information. I've done it one way but I'm sure there are other ways to do the same thing. I could *never* get the "webcam" app to work with my Creative Labs Webcam II USB camera, despite having a supported chipset. The image looked fine on the local machine but would be garbled/distorted. I now use "Videodog" instead, and it works great, and is also command-line driven. I have the camera hooked up to a machine with no monitor. :) http://planeta.terra.com.br/informatica/gleicon/video4linux/videodog.html Works great!
