**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Aug 19 02:59:56 2005 Aug 19 08:50:49 hi there! first time visitor here. Aug 19 09:05:20 hello Aug 19 09:06:07 ByronT, he went to the other channel Aug 19 09:06:31 sorry.... pre-first cup of joe.... Aug 19 09:06:46 hehe Aug 19 09:08:17 rough afternoon turned into rough night, followed by little/no sleep = slowness pre coffee Aug 19 09:10:11 ouch. i avoided coffee today because it made me too hyper yesterday. Aug 19 09:12:41 no coffee would equal sleep at desk.... Aug 19 09:12:55 which really isn't *that* bad an idea Aug 19 09:23:07 1212,00does someone have some time to help a new guy? Aug 19 09:24:11 just go ahead and ask Aug 19 09:24:30 we might be able to tell if we knew what the question is.... Aug 19 09:25:40 1212,00i'm starting up proftp and get an error "socket operation on non-socket" - I'm sorry I don't have much experience with servers or linux, this is my first try Aug 19 09:26:20 sounds like a configuration error, but since I don't use proftp, I can't really tell you Aug 19 09:26:50 1212,00do use another ftp program? Aug 19 09:26:50 http://www.proftpd.org/docs/faq/faq_full.html Aug 19 09:26:59 known issue... Aug 19 09:27:55 1212,00I'm not married to proftp, I'm looking for an easy to use program Aug 19 09:28:03 Chapter 4 - #5 Aug 19 09:28:15 actually I just don't use FTP Aug 19 09:28:33 1212,00thanks for the link Aug 19 09:29:08 no problem, that should clear up that error (and maybe help with future ones.. :) ) Aug 19 09:29:32 1212,00thanks, I was reading the user manual on that site and was getting overloaded with info Aug 19 09:30:02 1212,00is there an easer option for accessing my files on my drive from the internet? Aug 19 09:30:09 user manuals can do that... FAQs though are your friend (as well as google which is how I got that link for you) Aug 19 09:30:36 for file transferring, I use SCP which works via SSH Aug 19 09:31:07 you can use the graphical WinSCP client and OpenSSH on the nslu2 Aug 19 09:31:56 1212,00thanks, I'll look into that Aug 19 09:31:58 setup OpenSSH for key authentication only (and make sure it works!) then WinSCP authenticates via SSH and allows you to copy, move, rename, etc. without issues Aug 19 09:32:39 the good part is that you can then *only* open up SSH port from NSLU2 to the internet (instead of having FTP + others...) Aug 19 09:33:37 1212,00can more than one person use this method at the same time to access the nslu? Aug 19 09:34:14 sure, but it's only good for authenticated access - while FTP can be setup for anonymous access Aug 19 09:34:38 1212,00that is exactly what I'm looking for Aug 19 09:34:42 and of course, it takes a bit more to setup and for a user to learn to use.... Aug 19 16:57:25 quick & easy question ( i think).. OpenSlug 2.5 says "Number of drives attached to the slug can be greater than 2".. does this mean i can connect a hub to the slug and chain 5 drives onto it? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Aug 20 02:59:56 2005
