I cannot imagine why anyone would want to use a terminal/ssh to move files (unless its something like an rsync script). OP appears to be trying to move files using a browser (maybe I snipped too much). Konqueror supports sftp://(user@)IP/host (ssh ftp, packaged with ssh) addresses which makes it really easy to move files to/from other machines. Using the already suggested key pairs it's just like working with files on the local system. I thought remote root logins were disabled by default, it's a standard security precaution (since I cannot $ su w/ sftp, I enable/limit root logins to key pairs on my remote server). ...I see that sshfs and using it in Konqueror via fish:// have been mentioned. I've never used them and see no point when Konqueror and sftp are already available. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
