Introduction

This is a manual on how to access your files on a remote PardusPC, which is connected to a router. To do this we need to start a Secure Shell Server(SSH) and make changes to the firewall before we can have access (read/write) to our files in Konqueror or Krusader.

IP address of remote PardusPC

It is highly recommended to give the remote PardusPC a fixed IP address. Look in this page how to do this.

Settings on all computers

[Pardus]>[Tasma]>[System]>[Service Manager]
     Select [Secure Shell Server].
     Put a mark at {Run on startup} and activate the green (Start)button.
     In the column {Run on Startup} {Yes} should be shown.
     [Back].
[Internet & Network]>[Firewall Config] 
     [Start Firewall] (if not already running)
     Put a mark at {Remote login service}
     [Apply]>[Back] and close Tasma

Connect to the remote computer

To do this we need to know:

• Username of the user
• Password of the user
• IP address of the remote computer

Open Home (Konqueror) or Krusader and enter at Location:

fish://IP.address.of.the.remote.computer/home/username

If we take this and this as an example it would be:

 fish://192.168.62.55/home/juser

We now get a "Question-Konqueror" window with "The authenticity ..... Are you sure you want to continue connecting"

Select [Yes]

We now get a "SSH Athorization....." window.

Enter the password + [OK]

And (if everything is OK) your files will appear and you can work with your files as if they are on your local computer.

It is possible to make a Link to Location (URL)... with {fish://192.168.62.55/home/juser} on your Desktop.
