I have been trying to find out how to transfer files securely between my home FC3 systems and my Apache web server. Using Windoze XPee, I currently use the SSH Secure File Transfer client which has a nifty file-mangler-like GUI. I would like to be able to do the same on my FC3 boxes, but I cannot discover (so far) how to do this, even tho there is every indication that the latest version of OSSH is present on both systems via up2date.
I have managed to enter a few commands in a terminal window I entered (at a superuser terminal window) ssh -l <username> <server.name> ...according to instructions found at: http://www2.linuxjournal.com/article/4412 ...and after a few interesting msgs about authentication and fingerprints (???) and having to type "yes" ("y" was NOT an option), I was rewarded with a prompt for my pw. I entered that successfully and am now at a -bash-2.05b$ prompt, which is just SO f***ing illuminating that I must be being blinded by the light!!! Am I to divine that I am at a TELNET prompt (?) and can sftp or something like it from here? Doesn't openssh for linux have a KDE or Gnome GUI interface that I can use like I am used-to on the M$ boxes? <oh, Please -- oh, please -- oh, please -- oh, please!> Tomm "twisted pair" Lorenzin 1001001011010110101011001010101010101110 I'm schizo... ...and I'm both crazy. 1001001011010110101010110101010101010100 visiting hours: http://www.1000plus.com/ -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
