Topic: SSH access with WinSCP2

[Uros]

Hello,

I'm quite new ti the linux thing.
I want to connect to my e-smith server with WinSCP2. I've put everything regarding SSH to yes or public in the server-manager.
In WinSCP my settings are: host name: my local ip adress, port number: 22, username: admin and password for it.
When I try to log on I get "Error skipping startup message".
Oh, I try to connect from local network.

Try using username "root" instead of "admin".

O.K. This works.
Can I connect with user I created??

Normal users you create will not have any shell assigned to them. Take a look at
http://www.dungog.net/sme/howto/usershell.php

To give access to the unix shell on your server.
as root, chsh -s /bin/bash username
to take it away, chsh -s /bin/sshell username

This is it
Great site, with great stuf for E-smith.
