New issue 1967 by [email protected]: Allow transferring files to/from
virtual appliance
http://code.google.com/p/qubit-toolkit/issues/detail?id=1967
The current virtual appliance has no easy way to send or receive files from
the outside world. it would be great to install SSH in the virtual
machine to allow users to transfer files to/from their host system.
Installing SSH "out-of-the-box" is not secure because the ssh-key would be
generated at install time and therefore would be the same for all copies of
the virtual appliance.
Austin suggested that you could get around this problem by removing the
pre-generated key from the appliance thus forcing the user to generate a
new ssh-key as so:
rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host*key* dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive -pcritical
openssh-server
Another option (if installing ssh is *not* possible for some reason) is to
make the user install ssh via aptitude. This is not usually difficult to
do, but the appliance currently has a custom /etc/apt/sources.list that
uses a custom and non-public sources repository. Therefore updating the
sources.list file to use standard, public Ubuntu source repositories would
be necessary to make this option viable.
