Hello

I installed opensuse 11 on my windows xp using virtualbox. It works well/acceptable.

I have only a problem . I can't find a way to ssh FROM my
remote linux server CENTOS 4 TO my opensuse 11 (running via virtual box on Windows)

if my internet ip on linux vitualbox is 151.122.123.123 when I execute

ssh 151.122.123.123

..from my remote centos 4 linux server) I receive this..

ssh: connect to host 151.122.123.123 port 22: Connection refused

I think that ssh running on virtualbox is not visible at all .

Any idea to make it visible please ?

p.s. I think I am receiving this
ssh: connect to host 151.122.123.123 port 22: Connection refused
becuase on windows I have no openssh . Howeve with virtualbox running I have openssh running and I would connect with it from remote linux server. Is it possible ?

How did you set your VM network settings? If you use NAT, see the manual for Port Forwarding. If you use Host Interface Networking with a Bridge, use the actual IP of the VM.

Since use port redirection. Read the relevant section on the User Guide on NAT or google NAT guestport hostport site:forums.virtualbox.org. You redirect host:2222 to guest:22 and then ssh to host:2222.

You can also download and use PuTTY on windows as an ssh client. It's a good package. I use it all the time.

it seems failry complicated , however I will try and update here , thank you for now

BTW currently I am using NAT . I have a router , atlantis land , and using port forwarding I allowed port SSH 22 .

Regarding PuTTY on windows as an ssh client , it will not be enough because I need also rsync on windows . However I did some try some time ago (back from linux to windows) and it was not never good because I was always losing permissions , owners and gropus . So I am trying with VM .

I did a search on this forum as you suggested.

I understood that to use SSH on port 2222 (instead of default 22) I need to do this. I'm trying ( I understood the command above should be entered on terminal as root right ?)

I'm really lost where should I enter above commands ?

I always read (on forum and help section) that I should enter it , ok but exactly where and how please ?

Thank you

ok I found

I open a windows dos window, then then where open is my virtual machine. I did it with the virtual machine open was running...

I restarted openSuse.

Then I tried it does not work/connect ...

Any help please ?

I succeded

I disabled opensuse firewall and I was able to connect from
remote linux to my virtual linux

I am glad that you sorted it out. I apologise for not getting back to you but I decided to have an early night (I am on GMT).

PuTTY is fine for a terminal session and for pscp. I don't really need rsync between my Windows environments and my VMs.

no problem , Thank you !
