remote installations on RHEL
 

Hi,

Apologize for the super newbieness, but very soon I will have telnet access to a remote RHEL 3.0 machine with a base OS install. My question is...

How do I install software remotely? I have no FTP yet, so how do I get files to the machine? Do I download RPM's with some kind of command? My first install will be some kind of FTP software - so an example might include that...

thanks for any advice, links etc,

jon

telnet in

Register with Red Hat's up2date (or install apt for rpm, or yum). These will make it simple to install new programs.

Install sshd

Test a ssh login

Uninstall telnet (or at least I would. Who uses telnet to manage a remote server anymore?)

Then scp your files around. e.g. see: http://rimuhosting.com/support/micro....jsp?t=scp#scp

Hi,

Thanks - I checked out that red hat site and it makes perfect sense now.
