| Post subject: | remote file access |
Hi, I am trying to remotely access a file on my mythbox. I am far from it right now but have access via SSH and mythweb. Is there a simple way I can copy a file locally? I usually use webmin when I am local. I have been looking, but can't seem to find anything, can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks, JJ |

Log in via ssh. Copy the file to /var/www You (and the rest of the world) should be able to access it using: http://your.host.ip/the_file |

You want to copy a file locally? Do you mean locally = from your workstation PC? I'm confused why you would be using webmin to do this. Do you want to: 1) Copy from mythtv to workstation 2) Copy from mythtv to mythtv 3) Copy from mythtv to anyone/anywhere Without fully understanding what your goal is, I can't help  Have you tried using Samba? It will allow you to read/write/delete files from a Windows machine on your LAN.

Thanks a lot Greg, worked perfectly. My goal was just to retrieve a file on my knoppmyth computer to my workstation PC in a different city. I find webmin a simple way to transfer files back and forth from my windows laptop to my knoppmyth PC. The problem was I have never needed to do this away from my LAN before. JJ |

ok... using GF's method will work but know that unless you're tunneling your connection through ssh you are opening up your mythbox to potentially large security threat by making it open to the world via http. If tunneling isn't to your liking, you can always use scp (linux-to-linux) or filezilla (sftp) if you want a windows gui. |

Also you may want to check out CoreFTP. You can connect via sftp (uses port 22 and ssh) and run like any other ftp server. |

If your MythBox allows ssh, then it usually also allows scp or sftp. e.g. Code: scp mythbox-remote-ip:/myth/tv/1003_20060302232800.mpg .
