HTML template update via remote admin

[jlavery]

I've got my Meteohub up and running really well on my NSLU2 at our sailing club. :)

I have also set up dynamic dns and port forwarding etc. so that I can manage it remotely. :) :)

With this setup, is it possible to remotely upload HTML templates to the device, so that they can then be uploaded to our website?

I know I can set up the templates via the local LAN via the samba share (which is what I did when testing it locally at home), but can't see how to do it remotely.

TIA,

James

I would recommend to upload templates remote via ssh (putty). This will need port 22 open. user is root, standrad pw is meteohub.

Hi Boris,
Thanks - that's an obvious solution! However, I'm being a bit stupid here, as how - using puty - can I then transfer the files?

I can enter command line commands to administer the server, and change directory to the /data directory, but how do I actually do the transfer? Won't I need an FTP server running on the slug?

Thanks,

James

Another part of the PuTTY package can apparently handle file transfer. I've not used it, but here's a link to a very brief tutorial:

WINSCP is all you need

yep, ssh protocol can be used to transfer files as well. Many ssh clients have ssh based file transfer somehow included. winscp might be the easiest way for windows, on Linux I simply use scp.

Thanks - WINSCP is perfect for my needs! :)
