The files we'll be dealing with are $HOME/.ssh/config and (depending on distro) /etc/sshd_config or /etc/ssh/sshd_config. You need to edit and save the latter with superuser privileges. If you go for public keys, we'll also be appending keys to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server. The sshd_config file is liberally commented, but not everything in the comments is straightforward to understand. It should be OK to keep this on-list, so long as we don't include passwords, passphrases and private (not public) keys -- we'll get to those in a bit -- but anything you're not sure about, take it offline. -- Phil Hudson PGP/GnuPG ID: 0x887DCA63 http://hudson-it.no-ip.biz @UWascalWabbit
Hi Phil,further research has suggested to me that what I really need is to set up SFTP or something similar. I use my website to store a few important (to me) files as a sort of backup. So I use FTP (via FireFTP on Firefox) to copy those files over when there is any change to them.
I think that it would be safer to use some sort of encryption when I copy those files and SFTP came up.
Have I got that right? Thanks Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
