Step by step SSH/scp Linux and your tablet, without password

I know NOTHING about security, you got it right. You may open your tablet to the whole world (flash oneself ?). This is purely an exercise for the newbie to practice on ssh/scp.

your tablet (server):
$ xterm
$ gain root
# passwd user
userpasswd
# Re-enter new password
userpasswd

your linux box (client):
> ssh-keygen -t dsa
> transfer /HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to your tablet/home/user/.ssh
and copy id_dsa.pub to authorized_keys

on your linux box, copy a local file to remote, ip is the ip address of the remote (tablet):
>scp local.file user@ip:

copy remote file to local
>scp user@ip:/remote.file ./

For window box, see this, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=23932

Bun,

Using keys, as you suggest in your post, should be as secure as a password, if not more so, as long as you don't leave your private key lying around in a public directory somewhere.

Thanks for posting the howto. I've been doing this for a while on the tablet.

You can go one step further and install sshfs, and then, instead of using the scp command, you can mount remote directories on your tablet as if they were local directories. Then you can copy files using the File Manager.

Would a how-to on that be appreciated? I can write one up if people would like.

You can give the key a password too, so that when you use it to log in on from a public place someone who snoops your password cannot use this to log in because he does not have your key.

If you write the howto please consider to add this on wiki.maemo.org this type of howto information is useful.

Remotely on topic, is there a way to browse the maemo.wiki like we can the itT wiki? I sometimes like to browse and it seems to me that I can only search for specific articles.

The itT wiki is structured as a tree from the main page, but you're not actually browsing the entire wiki. It's possible to have completely disjoint sections that you can't get to through the main page (though I'd hope we don't ). It's actually kind of like the www that way...

In the absence of such a structure, or to check for disjoint webs, you can go to http://wiki.maemo.org/Special:Allpages to see a list of all pages, anyway. Or click "Random page" until you find something interesting.
