I'm trying to move a bunch of files off my desktop on to a server and still be able to access them from my rover (eeePC 100 running Fedora 12) and the workstation (CentOS 5).
I have two issues with this setup. One _rather_ important (files open in OOo as read-only) and the other an irritation (Fedora insists on labeling the icon on the desktop with *everything* about the mount.) So first problem. When I do a Menu -> Connect to Server and fill in all the important information: Service type:SSH, Server: host.example.com, Folder: /home/user, Name to use for the connection: u...@host I get connection and I've copy/cut and pasted to the mount point, dragged and dropped to it and subdirectories with no problems. But ... when I open one of the files with OOo (Calc) it opens as read-only. Permissions are fine. The only hick-up is the owner and group IDs that show in File Browser window are those on the server which is not what I have on the workstation or rover. But if I edit a text file with gedit I can. OOPS I forgot. The shell on the remote system is rssh not bash but this is not a chroot/jail setup. I suppose I'll try with bash in case there is an environment (~/.bashrc,~/.bash_profile) problem. Any thoughts ideas on what is going on? The second "irritation" I have some more testing to do. I think I found the solution the other day. Just not enough TUITs. \\||/ Rod -- All typos, mis-spelings, and bad grammar are mine but freely distributable. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
