wa4chq Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 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? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Nice 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachy Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I like using ssh reverse forwarding to setup a tunnel so I can RDP into a Windows host. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa4chq Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 I like using ssh reverse forwarding to setup a tunnel so I can RDP into a Windows host. 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?

wa4chq Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking about Linux to Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The same works both ways in most cases. Here is yet another way https://www.digitalcitizen.life/connecting-windows-remote-desktop-ubuntu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I use ssh when people are talking at a quiet, intimate concert. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I mostly just ssh in (or scp for file transfer) but Remmina is a nice front end to RDP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
