Hi all,

I'm having problems accessing my shell connection on the cgi pages for remote admin of my smoothie bix.

The SSH serve ris starte but all I get in the shell window on the admin pages is the red cross in the white bachground.

Any Ideas? I'm using .99SE, fully patched with a default install

I don't have a linux box but PuTTY gives me a Network Error:connection refused error.

edit the SSH server is running according to the status page.

Nice tool that PuTTy thing shak

I'll keep playing with it, perhaps it's time to dig out those red hat CDs

Hmmmm

possibly mate, the ssh server does not run by default or start at boot time. I enable it from one admi page before trying the SSH session page (or that groovy windows client). I am loath to try a reboot as it's been up for 5 weeks now but I guess it deserves it.

At least I can log in via the admin pages now and don't have to climb under my desk to gently reboot it.

Cheers for your help, I'll let you know.

Sorted now, cheers guys,

I needed to re-install the java jre on my winXP box I was trying to connect with

Typical that the only problem I have on my smoothie is with windows.
