10.7.2. Remote connections

  • From your local workstation, display a graphical application, such as xclock on your neighbour's screen. The necessary accounts will have to be set up. Use a secure connection!

  • Set up SSH keys so you can connect to your neighbour's machine without having to enter a password.

  • Make a backup copy of your home directory in /var/tmp on your neighbour's "backup server," using scp. Archive and compress before starting the data transfer! Connect to the remote host using ssh, unpack the backup, and put one file back on the original machine using sftp.
