remote console using ssh

Is it possible to run an ssh server on the friendly ARM so that I don't
have to use a COM port to communicate with it from my PC?

Hello,

the easies thing is to use telnet - it is already setup, 
if you are using default ip just telnet 192.168.1.230 to get the console.
Otherwise, if  you really need to encrypt everything try to compile
dropbear ssh server: http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html

Hello Gerald,
the ssh is enabled on the Angstrom image and on the GPE image too.

Regards

Clemente.

please can one explain me how to download application from linux host
machine to friendlyarm board.

If you need openssh 5.5 binaries here you can download.

http://www.dengebt.com/ssh5.5_dengebt.com.tar

prefix is by default /usr/local/bin

useful! thanks

I'm running ubuntu and i simpled typed into the console. 

ssh 192.168.1.230

and i got....

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.230 port 22: Connection refused

I went into my router and forwarded port 22 for 192.168.1.230, but still
nothing.  What am i doing wrong?

nvm... telnet 192.168.2.130 worked... 
but what is the login and password?

I use Login -> root O.K.

For those can not figure out how to activate sshd : 

You need to have your sshd proper configuration file in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config and have your ssh port configured in your linux.

then get your sshd started when your OS started or manually when you need
it.

Hi, I got it working you have to crosscompile the dropbear copy it to pc,
generate keys as it written inside the readme of dropbear and copy them
inside the /etc/dropbear directory. After this you should able use ssh
without any problems. Also it's possible to use sftp by building and ssh
and crypto library to use sftp together with ssh ;)
