Introduction

This is a manual on how to access your files on a remote PardusPC, which is connected to a router. This is very useful when you are comfortably sitting in your chair with your notebook and you want to manipulate your files on a fixed Desktop computer. 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.

SSH server setting on remote computer

Pardus 2009

System Settings > Service Manager
     openssh > mark at 'Run on start' and activate 'Start service' (green flag should be shown)

Pardus 2008

[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].

Firewall settings on all computers

Pardus 2009

System Settings > Firewall Manager
     When activated and incoming connections blocked allow traffic on port number 22

Pardus 2008

[Internet & Network]>[Firewall Config] 
     When activated put a mark at {Remote login service} and [Apply]>[Back] and close Tasma

Connecting to the remote computer

Pardus 2009

Open Dolphin or Krusader and enter in the location bar:

fish://username@ip.address.of_the_remote.computer

If we take this [2] and this [2] as an example it would be:

 fish://juser@192.168.0.101 + <enter>

or in Dolphin goto Network > Network Services > Remote disk (fish) > remote_machine_name

(remote_machine_name = On remote computer open Network Manager > Nameserver Settings > Machine Name)

Pardus 2008

To do this we need to know:

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

fish://ip.address.of_the_remote.computer/home/username + <enter>

If we take this [2] and this [1] as an example it would be:

 fish://192.168.62.55/home/juser + <enter>

During inputting the above "fish:.." line a "Question-Konqueror" window with "The authenticity ..... Are you sure you want to continue connecting" will appear. Select [Yes] and continue with your input.

After <enter> a "SSH Athorization....." window will appear.

Enter the password of the user + [OK]

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

It is possible to make a Link to Location (URL)... with {fish://IP.address.of.the.remote.computer/home/username} shortcut on your Desktop.

Troubleshooting

To solve a "Can't connect to ip.address.of_the_remote.computer" error, remove the file /home/your_username/.ssh/known_hosts on the local computer and try again.
