Secure Shell and friends

Secure Shell Setup

To setup your SSH authentication, log onto the main server as follows:
ssh-l Login-Name tenforty.sourceforge.net
Something like the following message will be produced:
The authenticity of host 'tenforty.sourceforge.net' can't be established.
Key fingerprint is 1114 up:th:es:e1:bc:ec:7a:b6:fa:99:99:b3:ff:65:63:a9.

You can navigate about the group directory and undertake the usual file operations, (where you have the appropriate permissions.)
cd /home/groups/t/te/tenforty/htdocs/
Will take you to the Web site files.

Warning

Please be careful to maintain read / write access for any file there. The htdocs directory contains the Web-site and some of the download files so please don't play here.

Most of the work you would usually be involved with will be with CVS but occasionally files need to uploaded to various places either for the web site or to share with other developers and users.

To upload files use the Secure Copy utility that comes as a part of SSH:
scp local-file
     Login-Name@tenforty.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/t/te/tenforty/htdocs/

to logout of the shell account just type: logout or exit
