Forgive me. This is not my area of expertise and I am having what appear to be basic setup issues.
Simply, what I am trying to achieve is to access my office computer from home. My office has a router and I have configured everything there so that the computer on my desk has a static IP address (192.168.1.3) and I have also setup port forwarding so that port 22 is sent inbound (and outboud) to and from this specific IP address. I have also activated a user on my computer in the office (the same one I log in as, which, for simplicity, does not currently have a password).
On my computer, at home, I have also installed copSSH and activated the Administrator user (which I have also removed the password from, for simplicity).
I want to be able to use a third party piece of software called WebDrive, but when I run this it just tells me thatit cannnot connect with my office computer.
How do I test that copSSH is configured correctly so that I can eliminate this part of the puzzle? I've looked at the documentation, but it seems to way too sparse for me to be able to truly figure out what I need to do.
Thanks.
Peter
IN case it is significant, both my home and office machines are running Windows XP with SP2.
Your problem can be related to empty passwords, which are not accepted by the service as a default behaviour. Using passwords are highly recommended.
