Yes, sshd is on by default. If during the install a "medium" firewall was chosen, ssh ports accept ssh/sftp requests. Syntax for ssh:
Encrypted ssh shell (telnet): ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] .If current username is the same as the machine you are connecting to, simply: ssh hostname Encrypted sftp using ssh: sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] .If current username is the same as the machine you are connecting to, simply: sftp hostname Please note you do not need ftp turned on if you use sftp portion of sshd. It's a secure ftp. I'd recommend you try ssh and sftp first. If you are connecting from a windows box, you can use Tera Term Pro w/SSH or PuTTy. They both are free and support ssh. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hedemark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 7:15 PM Subject: Re: [TriLUG] a simple question > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > On Tuesday, June 3, 2003, at 09:39 AM, Ian Zhang wrote: > > > I have installed Red Hat 8.
