scp server on Zeroshell

[fnmunhoz]

I am trying use scp to transfer files from Zeroshell to another system but it don’t work.

I think it happens because the default login is the zeroshell’s console menu.

Is possible change this configuration to use scp like others systems?

Thanks

You could set the bash as default shell for the user root in the file /etc/passwd.

I see a reason to run ssh on the Zeroshell box. I really don’t see a reason to run the ssh subsystem sftp-server. You should only have to use the sftp client to move files to and from your zeroshell box.

I want use scp to make backups of /Database directory using backuppc software.

I understand the need for backing up the /Database directory. I see the software you are wanting to use works with Samba, SSH, RSH, NFS and rsync. Rsync would be a better choice because it will only copy data that is changed and or new. Why backup the same data day after day if nothing has changed. or Why transfer the files that have not changed. Rsync can also transfer files via a rsync stream. I would be more supportive of rsync due to the features it provides.

Fulvio, are you planning to include rsync in next release of Zeroshell, it will be a very nice feature to make backups, I think.

Thanks!
