Topic: port forwarding

[g270546]

I am a new user.  I have linux manuals but I cannot find out how to install the port forwarding add on.  I have the files on a floppy.  Would someone please be kind enough to give me the commands to install the add on.  Thanks in advance.

Next time I would suggest using the search option can be quite helpful

I already did that.  I have the esmith server and it is the only linux box that I have.  I went to the port forwarding add on site and got the files.  They were downloaded from Windows and put on a windows floppy.  Now I have to get it into the SME server folder using bash commands and I cannot find any documentation anywhere that will allow this.  I don't know if I have to convert the file to a linux format or if there is a way to copy the rpm files they way they are.  There is no references on where to copy the files or how to copy them from the floppy.  This is what I was getting at.  I am sorry that I was not more specific.  I realize that I am new to the linux world but I have search through books and forums for this answer.  I know that someone out there has been there.  Thanks.

You can download the Win SCP here:

Use your local IP 192.168.1.1 and login with your root & root password. From windows you can transfer files easy to the SME box.

Thank you.  That was the information that I needed.  Worked like a charm.

You might also try 'wget' directly on the E-smith server.

From the bash prompt type:

wget http://whatever

That will transfer the file directly.

You can also use rpm on a remote file.

rpm -Uvh http://whatever

Check out http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=4731.msg16493#msg16493 too. Once you install the Update System RPM, you don't even have to bother with the commandline stuff.
