Re: FTP client: sles 15

Best recommendation:  Enable 'openssh' on the server, install an SSH client on the remote system, and use sftp to transfer materials. Plan to adjust server-side firewall rules if the system is not already enabled for SSH connections. Less-than-best:  On my SLES15 system, via YaST, it looks as

Re: Freeze Linux Guests momentarily

Back in the day... meaning along about VM/HPO 4.2-ish, I had a local mod that allowed me to temporarily freeze a virtual machine in place by marking it as non-dispatchable. Once it dropped from queue, it would just sit there until it was un-frozen and allowed to resume work. At that same point
