Local Accessing of Files From a Remote Server

[Chris Collins]

I am the webmaster of a company that has it's own server but have never really tried to access the files from home. Would I connect to it just like I connect to my godaddy account? I just need the ip, username and password information, correct? Or would I need to set this up on the actual server? Thanks!

Well, you could either set up an FTP server, you could set up 'ssh'

If you get up ssh, you can simply enter an ssh client (( in Windows, PuTTY - actually, if you use WinSCP, you can connect and get drag and drop folders there :) )), or in Linux, use the GNOME 'Places -> Connect to server', where you enter your information. I would go for ssh, as thats an easy setup :)

Simply install the package, run the executable (( as root, do /etc/init.d/sshd start and it will start :)

On most servers, ssh is already installed, so I would check for that :)



Sorry for the slow reply, I have been slightly distant of the forums for a while, but I am back :D
