I'm trying to get my feet wet for file transfers between home computers on my router, windows and mac later, for now only tw and slowroll.
from desktop: ~ ping laptop-IP good ping
from both ~ ssh localhost ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
ssh to localhost is to the computer you are at the keyboard. to ssh to another box, you must use the ip of that box
on THAT box, ip addr will tell you it's ip address
do not try to used 127.0.0.1 for ssh
set down in front of laptop-IP and issue: ip addr
ssh to one of the resulting ip's but not and fe80 address.
this is what was missing, systemd commands ~ # systemctl status sshd.service ○ sshd.service - OpenSSH Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service; disabled; preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) ~ # systemctl start sshd.service 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?
