How to enable SSH on UBPorts Ubuntu Touch?
#9
I've been trying the things mentioned in this thread, but haven't been succesful.

- /etc/ssh/sshd_config cannot be edited, the file system is read only. "It is required for for saving/loading search history or cursor position".
Should I made it read-write? But I keep reading that that's a big no-no?

- sudo service ssh enable
I thought I might set SSH to always run, but that didn't work.

- sudo service ssh start
This seems to do something. I get "ssh start/running, process 8977". But when I tried to connect to the phone I just get "operation timed out".

- "Actually, there's no need to generate a private key on the pinephone if you only intend to connect to it instead from connect from it.
The authorized_keys file is enough".
I tried creating a file called /home/phablet/.shh/authorized_keys, but that had no effect.

- Connect with Wifitransfer.
This never worked for me. I set all the parameters (the app is very clear and seems useful), but Filezilla just times out?


Could someone perhaps share a quick step-by-step beginner friendly guide?
Can I get SSH to just always be enabled?
- What command should I run on my mac to generate keys?
- And then in what directory on the phone should I place them? I suspect its ˜/.shh ?
- Do I then reboot?
- Could there be a firewall blocking things?

And while I'm at it: is there a way to send the CTRL key in the phone's terminal? Without it using Nano is quite difficult.
