Also changing port to non default if you decide to use SFTP would save some script kiddies from filling your authentication logs. Thank you *Amit K Nepal Infrastructure Engineer (RHCE) omNovia Technologies Inc. Amit K Nepal

Yeah, SFTP is nice option. Just make sure you create a normal user for using SFTP. I would not enable root access directly from outside home network. Thank you *Amit K Nepal Infrastructure Engineer (RHCE) omNovia Technologies Inc. Amit K Nepal

Here's my two cents worth. For this example I'll use ftp, but the idea should work for other options. Set your ftp server so it does not start when the system boots up. At the remote location log in via ssh. Then start the ftp server, transfer your files, stop the ftp server and log out. Tha

First, you need a way to know your dynamic ip. DYNDNS is probably what you want there. Or scripts on your home machine to email you whenever the ip address changes, or something. (google for dynamic dns: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=dynamic%20dns&source=web&cd=1&ved =0CF8QFjAA&url=http

There is a -B (batch mode) option that prevents asking for passwords. I'm not sure how that would work though. I expect that the target system's user account would need to have no password in that case, but I'm not sure of that. rsync really isn't much different syntax wise from scp, and it all

Trial and error. I'd start with making sure sshd is running on the target machine. Usually (depending on distro), # /etc/init.d/sshd status will tell if it's running or not. If it's not running, # /etc/init.d/sshd start should start it up, but only until the next reboot. The method of making it p

BTW, another easier way to do the "static address thing" is to assign addresses outside the DHCP range. There is not a hard and fast rule to know what the range is (unless you look at the router configuration) but if your addresses start with 192.168.0.2-3-4, it is safe to assign 192.168.0.250-2

The reason why you HAVE to use /sbin/ip is because /sbin is not on your path. Multiple reasons for that, but mostly because technically /sbin "is for root" (that's a VERY condensed explanation) As a rule of thumb (valid always if you only have one adapter) "your interface" is eth0 (or eth[wh
