=== Q: How do I copy files over a network using knoppix? ===
+
Contributed by [mailto:sunil_tt@yahoo.com Charan]
+
 
+
'''A:''' Knoppix can be used as recovery CD. Most of the times if I want to recover large files I boot the dead machine with a knoppix cd and copy files over the network.
+
 
+
I will explain two methods I use:
+
==== 1) FTP ====
+
The knoppix cd has an ftp server installed on it. However if you try to ftp to a knoppix machine you will get a connection refused message. This is due to the settings in the /etc/hosts.deny file. The hosts.deny file is in fact a symlink to /KNOPPIX/etc/hosts.deny
+
The last line of it reads as below
+
ALL:PARANOID
+
The stock hosts.allow files will allow ftp from localhost only. You will have to change this too.
+
These two files are prohibiting ftp connections to the knoppix system.
+
 
+
What I do is delete the symlink and restart inetd.conf
+
Here are the necessary steps:
+
*Configure networking from the menu
+
*Open a console and set a password for user knoppix:
+
**'''passwd knoppix
+
*Open a root shell and do:
+
**'''rm /etc/hosts.deny
+
**'''rm /etc/hosts.allow
+
**'''/etc/init.d/inetd restart
+
Now the ftp server is ready and from any client you can ftp to knoppix system, use 'knoppix' as user name and the password you set as password.
+
 
+
==== 2) SCP (via SSH) ====
+
Knoppix cd comes with ssh, in order to copy files with scp
+
*Setup networking
+
*Open a console and set a password for user knoppix:
+
**'''passwd knoppix
+
*Open a root shell and do:
+
**'''/etc/init.d/ssh start
+
*Now copy files with scp:
+
**on unix: "man scp" ;)
+
 
+
Microsoft Windows users I would recommend to use putty as SSH client. [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download pscp]]
