Topic: FTP, CYberduck and password

New to Chumby. Enabled SSH via the hidden control panel. I can use the terminal on my Mac to login to my Chumby, but every time I try to use my Cyberduck FTP client it ask for a password. My understanding is the username root and there is no password. Won't let me login without one. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

There's no FTP daemon running on the Chumby, only SSHD.  Are you trying to use scp or sftp?

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Tried both ways. In the prefs it asked do I want to use sftp or scp. I tried both varieties with no luck.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

I'm able to use PuTTY SCP on Windows to copy to my chumby... I used the command line "pscp -l root file <chumby-ip>/psp".  I didn't need to enter a password.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Yeah. I may need another client. Let me mess around awhile. Thanks for the help.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

SCP works to transfer files to the Chumby.  The SFTP server doesn't appear to be present in the Chumby filesystem so SFTP won't work.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Cyberduck makes the connection to the Chumby using the ip. Problem is it won't let me in without a password. I know it is something simple I am missing.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Can Cyberduck generate a diagnostic log of the connection?

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Not sure, let me work on that.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Used FileZilla. Here's what i got:
Status:    Connecting to 10.0.1.4...
Response:    fzSftp started
Command:    open "root@10.0.1.4" 22
Command:    Trust new Hostkey: Once

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

I don't see an SCP option for either Cyberduck or FileZilla -- both just offer SFTP.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Oh well. I need to brush up on my terminal commands anyway. Thanks folks.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Hi All,

I've just successfully transferred files to my barebones Chumby using WinSCP - simple drag-n-drop interface yikes)

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Hi,

pureFTP works fine on the chumby. There is nothing to configure by default.

http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd

Just compile and start.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

If anyone's still looking how to get FTP working on the chumby I managed to get Pure-FTPd compiled and working on the chumby one. I've posted instructions here: http://dave-r.posterous.com/chumby-ftp

Note that you need gcc on your chumby

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

Where did you find the compiler binary?

Re: FTP, CYberduck and password

I found the instructions here:

Hope it helps
