Is there any documentation?

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.

Re: Is there any documentation?

Your problem can be related to empty passwords, which are not accepted by the service as a default behaviour. Using passwords are highly recommended.

Check a related FAQ about an alternative way for passwordless and secure communication.
