Great how to video! Straight to the point and thoroughly demonstrations of the basics with some extra useful command advices too. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@1rv04ee065]

Your videos are simple and easy to understand as the examples that are demonstrated are crisp, clear and quite easy to follow . Keep up the good work in knowledge sharing . Thank you . Great job !

[@WINGNUT307]

First time I've come across you. Such a clear explanation and good graphics too; well done. I have one problem - I don't have a password to get into my 'remote' windows 10 computer but I am still asked for one for the SSH link! Nothing works. Any ideas? Do you have another video that extends this with the use of private and public keys?

[@adamasimolowo8285]

pretty similar to FTP but SSH is more secure, wish I knew this before. was utilizing FTP to transfer files from local location to remote location.

[@topetony1431]

Great video, really love the demonstration. I have a question though, can the scp be used to copy items from a window to linux machine?

[@0xbitbybit]

Did exactly that, but refuses to connect, despite the password being correct, any ideas?

[@carlosrico7869]

[@joel-rg8xm]

Awesome, thx, will be very useful. How can I assign a static IP address to the remote computer so I can connect to it on a daily basis?

[@neall620]

Static IP is usually a service provided by your ISP. You don't get to pick your DHCP assigned IP typically. If your remote computer is on the same Local network as you, can assign a static lease for the Lan address on most routers

[@widevader]

@@Rahul-me8ws if its on the same network you don't need to port forward, if its on another network well depends on the router.

[@richardoconnor]

Advise you use something like ZeroTIer, works very well to put remote computers anywhere on the same virtual LAN avoiding open ports. I believe TailScale does the same...

[@raul230285]

[@djfl58mdlwqlf]

What happens if our server's ip is not static?

[@widevader]

You need to know the ip, you could setup a bash script to send you periodic updates on your email or when the ip changes. Maybe on pc startup or smt.
