setting up remote or sftp access
I have setup an https (ssl) website on my apache server on fedora core 1. It is working fine. However I will like to be able to upload and download files from the server remotely but securely. Do you know where I can find step by step instructions on how to do this. I will like to restrict the remote access via my mac address since I am on dsl at home and the ip setup is dynamic. Well, I just want to know the best way to do this.
Thanks :newbie: |
There is nothing difficult in setting up a SSH server. I'm responding because you want to secure it on MAC address. It would be a less-than-minute hack. Allow login for only one user (and restrict su only to that user), not based on a dictionary word with a strong password and you are fairly safe. Additionally you can restrict access to the IP range your DSL is in, but this is really not essential.

Use scp of sftp to move your files safely.
Code:
scp foo.bar user@address:/home/directory Code:
sftp address |
