=== jimmah is now known as pak33m === kermiac_ is now known as kermiac === duanedes1gn is now known as duanedesign [17:52] how do I set up an ssh tunnel so I can connect to this home Ubuntu machine from a remote location? [17:53] starspot: is it behind a firewall/ [17:53] ? [17:57] mhall119|work, no. just a comcast modem and a linksys router [17:58] is the linksys doing NAT? [18:02] I don't know - what is NAT? [18:03] it's where inside your network, you have IP addresses like 192.168.x.x [18:03] but on the outside, the router has a public IP address [18:04] which makes it hard to access your internal computers from the outside internet [18:07] yes I do have 192.168.1.100 ...1.200 etc [18:07] then you're using NAT [18:07] which means you can't connect directly to your home machine from a remote location [18:08] what if I remove the router? [18:08] there's better ways [18:09] one second, let me find you a tutorial [18:09] http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling [18:09] thanks man! [18:11] np [18:35] hey mhall119|work : that tutorial's pretty complex. if the problem is NAT and it's in my Linksys, couldn't I just remove the router and then tunnel more easily directly to my IP? [18:37] or anybody else? [18:38] If I connect directly to a cable modem will SSH Tunneling work so I can access this machine remotely? [19:03] starspot: the NAT is useful and offers some level of protection to you, so I wouldn't recommend removing it [19:04] another options is to setup port forwarding on your router, so that incoming connections to port 22 are sent to the Ubuntu machine you want to connect to === hello is now known as Guest2126 [19:55] I already got around the NAT issue. I'm ssh'd in to my box now, with the router [19:55] mhall119|work, yes - I used port forwarding on the router [19:56] okay [19:56] just make sure you either use good passwords, or public key authentication only [19:56] I am looking for help with telnet ....?? [19:57] what kind of help? [19:57] I am trying to copy a file to a dd-wrt router and can't make copy work [19:58] does dd-wrt use ssh? [19:59] it can ... but that look harder. [20:00] it's safer, and make copying easier [20:00] but I should learn ssh ... I thought telnet looked easer [20:00] there's not much difference from a user perspective between ssh and telnet [20:01] but if you use ssh, you can use scp to copy files to and from dd-wrt [20:01] so do I log on the router with ssh insetad of telnet [20:01] or do I use ssh from the ubuntu shell [20:02] you need sshd running on the routher [20:02] then you ssh from the Ubuntu shell to the router [20:02] ssh username@routerip [20:02] should get you a shell on the router [20:02] scp $localfile username@routerip:/path/destfile [20:03] will copy $localfile to /path/destfile on the router [20:04] I don't understand username@routerip [20:04] okay, did you create a user account in dd-wrt? [20:04] * mhall119|work isn't familiar with dd-wrt setup, sorry [20:05] i am on the router now..... wirless [20:05] did you install dd-wrt? [20:08] yes I have it installed and working ... I am trying to copy acm.o to the router to set up mobil internet on the phone. [20:09] the wiki tells me what to copy ..but not exactly how. [20:12] I have the file on a usb drive which is avalible on the router ... i can see it with telnet ... but cp will not work on the router [20:14] I am installing sshd now and will try that [20:18] no joy :-X
