Topic: remote file access question

[john]

hi.

i've got e-smith installed at home, apparently all working correctly. i'm just using it for DHCP for my actual use computer, and for a small web server.

my quesiton is this: the web pages are usable, but aren't final yet. so i still need to edit them on my desktop computer. what's the best way to edit them from my computer and keep them on the e-smith server?

an i-bay? and then edit httpt.conf? (currently all my html/php files are in /home/e-smith/files/primary/ (or whatever, i forget the exact path)).

my desktop is Mandrake8.0.

any help appreciated.

thanks,
john

Hi John,

Try getting a Samba Client for Mandrake (redhat). You can access your primary web site via samba /home/e-smith/files/primary/ is /servername/primary under samba (ms file sharing)

I use Telnet, Log in as root, and then use MidnightCommander (mc).
It has a great little editor, and I can see the results immediately from the browser


It is also handly for having a 'development' and 'completed' web section, very easy to copy accross completed work.

If you want to connect from outside then use a SSH telnet session.

If the Telnet want to know what terminal type to use - set it to 'Linux'

Have fun

Dave
