provide yourself with ssh to that box
How? Both my box and mum's box are behind TWO levels of NAT, as far as I can tell. I haven't got round to working out how to get IPv6 working at home, and mum is with a different ISP so getting it working at her end will be even more of a problem.
Do you have your own user on her machine? If so, do this, on your own (local) machine. You may have already done step 1, creating your own key pair, in which case proceed to step 2: ssh-keygen creates the public and private keys. ssh-copy-id copies the local-host’s public key to the remote-host’s authorized_keys file. ssh-copy-id also assigns proper permission to the remote-host’s home, ~/.ssh, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Step 1: Create public and private keys using ssh-key-gen on local-host jsmith@local-host$ [Note: You are on local-host here] jsmith@local-host$ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/jsmith/.ssh/id_rsa):[Enter key] Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Press enter key] Enter same passphrase again: [Press enter key] Your identification has been saved in /home/jsmith/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/jsmith/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: 33:b3:fe:af:95:95:18:11:31:d5:de:96:2f:f2:35:f9 jsmith@local-host Step 2: Copy the public key to remote-host using ssh-copy-id jsmith@local-host$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remote-host jsmith@remote-host's password: Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'remote-host'", and check in: .ssh/authorized_keys to make sure we haven't added extra keys that you weren't expecting. Note: ssh-copy-id appends the keys to the remote-host’s .ssh/authorized_keys. Step 3: Login to remote-host without entering the password jsmith@local-host$ ssh remote-host Last login: Sun Nov 16 17:22:33 2008 from 192.168.1.2 [Note: SSH did not ask for password.] jsmith@remote-host$ [Note: You are on remote-host here] The above 3 simple steps should get the job done in most cases.
