[opensuse] Connecting Two Computers
I'm putting together a new computer for my mother-in-law. Just bought a Dell system with FreeDOS and installed 10.3. I want to copy some files from my systems (on the same network) but am having trouble. First off, I can ssh over to her computer. For some reason I can't ssh over to either of my computers. They both say open on the firewall. Even with me typing the root password, I cannot get in. Second, I want to use NFS or SMB to copy. My laptop has samba server and client. When I try to connect using Konqeror I get the shares, but it won't let me in, no matter what password I try. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2008/smb_error.png -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes, it would ask me to give teh local users' password on the remote computer. I just tried ssh as root from her computer to mine and that works. Now, how to copy files..... -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So you did "ssh <remote>"? in which case it would use the currently logged in user, so that sounds good. If you want root access, you'll need "ssh root@<remote>" instead.

scp? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's probably because the user you were using isn't available on your systems. You have to use username$192.168.x.x in order to ssh into a machine with a different user.

If you are familar with Midnight Commander, you could setup your systems with nfs shares, mount the shares on her system, and then use it to copy the files. That's an easy way. Otherwise, you would use "scp" to copy files over the network. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can always use rsync through ssh or you can use fish, which opens a folder on the remote system, so you can drag 'n drop. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Consider using fish://4.d.net.address in Konqueror, after supplying a valid system user-name and login password you can then copy files from the one system, and paste them into a local Konqueror on your system, BTW this does work for me in reverse. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Kai, One of the security config items for ssh is to not allow root to ssh in. I think that is the default setup. So try a different user. And if ssh is working, I believe scp should work. ie. It is layered on top of ssh.
