However im still unsure how to connect to the n900 once its connected to my windows 7 box running ssh server. I tried afew connections in putty but couldnt really get anywhere. Im new to ssh, any guidace would be greatly appreciated.

Figured it.

** Edit **
Last question now, maybe i'll figure this one out before someone responds like the others, but I've been searching and trying different things for a while now and cant get it.

I want to be able to copy files from the N900 to either my local machine (thats running putty connected to my dedicated server, and then connected to the n900) or copy the files to my dedicated server - either is fine with me.

I can get files to copy to other locations with scp but i cant get the files to my local. Im using the command like this:

Code:

scp root@localhost:/home/user/MyDocs/somefile.txt .

Now I know the trailing dot means to drop the file in the current directory but the current directory through putty is on the n900. So i can successfully copy files around on the n900, but the way I was trying to get the files to local is like this:

Code:

scp root@localhost:/home/user/MyDocs/somefile.txt remote@MyServerIP:/home/remote

This requests my n900's root password and then reports:

Code:

Permission denied, please try again.

Permission denied, please try again.

Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

lost connection

Nokia-N900:~#

Is this something to do with me needing to add a key to a file? I've seen that mentioned around alot, but I'm not sure what key and add it to what file (server/n900/local machine?) or if im even on the right lines with adding a key - is there something else Im missing?

As always, help would be appreciated, i've spent many hours on this now and im all out of ideas.

Also, should I be able to log in to the n900 straight from the server? I cant seem to be able to. Cheers, kaos.

Use something like cygwin or mobaXterm on your pc and the first scp you wrote will work.

Another way is to use WinSCP.

Cheers saturn. I was trying to get WinSCP to do it but I was running it on the local machine and i didnt know where to connect to because first i must connect to the server and then to the n900. Should i run it straight on the server? The server is win7 running CopSSH and it has a bash shell but i cant connect to the n900 from that.

Thanks for the link, not heard of mobaXterm, i'll read up on it when I finish work, but if i use that i still am a little confused as to whether i should be running it on the server or my local machine.

Maybe its a little easier to describe to me if I show you my setup:

Code:

Local machine - win7- (internal)192.168.2.4



Server - win7 - sshd - (int)192.168.2.5 - (ext)MyServerIP



N900 - usual setup

At the moment, i cant seem to talk to the n900 from the server, the only way i can get it to work is connecting the local machine to the server via putty and MyServerIP and then logging in, then i use the ssh command for the n900 (ssh -p 8080 localhost -l root), enter my password and im away.

Sorry for going on, but should i be able to do it on the server or am i using the right method using a local machine and the server as a middle man?

Sorry, I'm lost and don't understand what you actually need to achieve.
If you just need to copy the files from machine A (n900) to B (local windows PC) execute in mobaXterm (running in your local PC) the scp command as:

Code:

scp user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/user/MyDocs/somefile.txt .

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of your N900.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

How can I stop SMSCON from using at least 6 SMS for each command I send to it. I have a text message limit from my provider and cannot afford to exceed it.... Please help.

You have to edit /opt/smscon/smscon_daemon in this part:

def GSMmodem(Number, Message, Log):
"""
Send message to GSM modem.
"""

Delay = 4 # in sec.
MaxRetry = 3 # number of retries to re-activate GSMm (maybe you have 6)
Retry = 0

Change MaxRetry to 1.

Well, i use vi from the x-terminal. But you can use another text editor or you can copy the file and edit it with notes and then replace it again.

Re: [Announce] SMScon (control your device with SMS)

Help would be very much appreciated.
