Hi,

Excuse me for this maybe stupid question, but I cant start an ssh session from my 770 to somewhere after installing the OpenSSH package. I can run and connect to a SSH Server on my Nokia, but am looking for the reverse. Is there a path that you have to define, or isnt there a client included in the deb package on the Maemo wiki.

Please make a "dummy guide" on this one.

Thanks!!

Instructions for setting your path can be found here:

Thanks, I learned new stuff, but I still can't figure out how to do an ssh connection to another system. Please point out the obvious. :)
thanks

type "which ssh" at the command prompt. That asks the system what the path is to the ssh binary. If you do not get an answer, you need to adjust your path variable to include the directory that contains the ssh binary you installed.

I finally found it, instead of /var/lib/install/usr/bin as the other stuff it was in /var/lib/install/bin so I added a line with PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/install/bin in /home/user/.shrc from previous tip.

thanks both
