ssh magic and a "wow" moment for me

Hey all....prior to getting involved with Raspberry Pi I really didn't have a need for using ssh, at least I couldn't think of one. About two years ago I bought a Pi and started messing with ssh, nothing serious but just accessing pi remotely....I thought that was cool....I'm an old man so stuff like this is cool. Well, two weeks ago I was trying to figure out how to use the Pi as a music server. I searched the Pi rag "MagPi" and found many articles about how to do it but it had me jumping through all sorts of hoops and I still couldn't get it to work. Well ssh saved me. I learned that I could use sshfs. As a test, I made a directory on Pi called "Jams" and loaded 3 mp3's there. Then using my laptop I did:

sshfs -o nonempty pi@192.168.*.*: Jams

Once mounted I execute mocp on my laptop and scroll to "Jams" and start rocking to my favorite Lennon Sisters songs...how cool is that?

Nice :thumbsup:

 

 

SSH has been one of my favorite tools for years. I use it daily to access my headless servers, VPS and other machines. I also use an android app called Termius to ssh into my machines while on the go and use scp to transfer files over ssh.

SSH is FUN! At one time, I had SSH set up between my main system, my workshop system, and two laptops. It was very COOL!

Yeah but were you listening to "The Lennon Sisters"?

I like using ssh reverse forwarding to setup a tunnel so I can RDP into a Windows host. :devil:

I had to look up reverse forwarding, tunnel and RDP! All this ssh stuff is still voodoo to me! Peach, does this only apply to Linux > Windows?

RDP is a window's protocol.

OK, thanks SB....I googled it earlier today after seeing Peachys comment. So if I were going to access Windows from Linux (not that I would) I couldn't do it like I would from Linux to my Raspberry Pi?

tnx

Thanks SB.....Right, I know about and have used VNC but the article talks about Windows to Linux... I was asking about Linux to Windows.
