Small Problem with PIAware Linux Client

Hi All,

I have a small number of RPi receivers all at remote sites & access to them is limited to console (SSH)
These clients all require sharing codes but I've tried a few command line browsers such as Lynx / Links
/elinks but even after I input the data to create a new share code then nothing is returned via email , also the config file is not populated

One solution would be I guess to use the External IP Address of the remote unit(s) but this would involve re configuring firewalls which is a bit of a pain ;) another option is to edit the config file & manually input the parameters but this would not resolve the problem of generating a sharing codes

If anyone has some work around's for this problem then please let me know :)

Thanks

BTW

Mods - if this is posted to the wrong area then please move it :)

Hi Nigel,

What you could do is install a client locally and that will generate a share code and also a config.

Then you could upload these configs?

You can repeat the setup of your local client by deleting the config file generated.

Hi Lee,

Sounds like a plan , I'll give it a try later

Thanks

BTW - you might actually like to open the firewalls as the client is pretty good and exposes more info that other clients don't such as the auto pilot info.

A bit more advanced but SSH tunnelling?

Am in the office today so if you want to give me some details on SSH Tunnelling with the client I can get OpenSSH
installed on the RPi here & give it a test ;)

There are a ton of ways to do it so I would just suggest you Google and read about a bit. It's one of those things I think should be read up on as its your security at the end of the day!
