SSH - Secure Shell remote log-in to the Puppy Linux machine from Windows

Here is the way to do it:

You require a Secure Shell daemon (or server) running on the Puppy Linux box.

For some reason, this seems to be quite immature on Puppy, but here is one:

There is an ssh-gui package in the pet repository, but it does not state anywhere if it is a client or a server or both.   It's set-up options do not make it any clearer.


On the Windows machine, this is then accessed using an SSH client, the preeminent one being PuTTY, available as a free download from  www.putty.org

The initial PuTTY window lets you set up the remote device's IP address, etc.  then brings up the terminal window.

Once the terminal window is open, there seems to be no dialogue box or menu option to change that setting, barring close the PuTTY ssh client app and re-start it.



  

Linux VIA Rhine III ethernet driver and the VIA VT6115 chip

Wary Puppy picks up the via-rhine Linux driver module all by itself.

One of the interesting* things, is that the VIA VT6115 chip used in the Fujitsu Futro S100 isn't in the list of chips supported by via-rhine linux driver.
