I'm just setting up a home fileserver, going through a tp-link adsl2+ modem and router. I've installed the base system with a 7gb /, 2 gb swap and 2gb /home. I can log in as my user "foo" on the computer, and have installed openssh-server, htop, lm-sensors, emacs, and screen. I've rebooted and checked with "sudo service ssh status" and it shows that ssh is running. The server is named "fooserver", - obviously obfuscated for security reasons. Its inet address is '192.168.1.103' and that is confirmed in the router.
But I can't ssh into it using 'ssh foo@fooserver'. Every time that I try it appears not to connect, just leaving a blank access line and my ram is gradually being eaten away which makes this machine slow down! Not good really. I can access with 'ssh -v foo@fooserver' which shows the remote ssh log, but aren't able to do anything else with it. And I can ping it, but haven't been able to do much else. How can I access it please? My intention once I've gained remote control of it is to remove the keyboard, mouse and monitor, and operate it from *this* machine. I've googled but haven't found anything that works. I set it up roughly following this guide http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/6398-howto-create-your-own-linux-home-server-using-debian/ Thanks Sharon -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk TGmeds = http://www.tgmeds.org.uk Debian 8.2, fluxbox 1.3.7, emacs 24.5.1
