can't get file transfer working. Help, please!

I'm not at all familiar with easyssh. Normally for sshd (that is, ssh server) the config file is /etc/ssh/sshd_config. To enable password authentication you would enable the following line and restart sshd or send it the NOHUP signal to re-read its config:

Code:

PasswordAuthentication yes

If needed you can specify an alternate configuration for the ssh client on the desktop using the "-F configfile" option. From the ssh man page:

Code:

     -F configfile
             Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file.  If a con‐
             figuration file is given on the command line, the system-wide
             configuration file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) will be ignored.  The
             default for the per-user configuration file is ~/.ssh/config.

Which direction are you trying to make the connection, desktop-->pinephone or pinephone-->desktop?
