DSE II Remote Farm SSH Setup

Hi NurinaW, and thanks for the reply. There was some useful info there, that would have helped me earlier.

But in fact I already had the SSH link working (you can see the "Connected successfully" message that I pasted).

I have now solved my issue. From the DSE GUI it was necessary to set the address of the host machine (in my case, the windows machine running the DSE client). This is hidden under the Explorations tab, so I didn't see it. In the .dse file it looks like:

host=<ip address of my machine>

Another thing that confused me is the local_remote_path_map. DSE won't run without this, but it seem we can put any folder names in there and they didn't seem to get used for anything. Can anyone explain what this is for?

Finally, I was hoping to also use Windows as my server OS, but your example still seems to require Cygwin. We want to stop using Cygwin here, and instead use tools such as openSSH that are built into Windows now. Has anybody got this working?

Thanks,

Nick
