[Solved] ssh works not with colon(":")

sentenza · 2011-12-28 11:28:51

Hello,

i was trying to setup sparkleshare with my server and recognized that i cannot login via ssh when giving a path to a folder like e.g. this: ssh 192.168.0.1:/home/sentenza
It works when i don't give a path adress (ssh 192.168.0.1)...
What could that be?

Thanks!

Did that ever work? I've never heard of ssh'ing into a specific directory, and couldn't find anything in the man page.

Are you possibly mixing up ssh and the ability of scp to copy to a specific directory?

Google'ing "ssh into directory" yields:

ssh -t 192.168.0.1 'cd /home/sentenza; bash'

As jac said, scp syntax uses the colon at the end of the address to give the path to a file/directory but ssh doesn't like them colons.

You can specify the command to be executed after the SSH stanza.

Like this:

ssh -t amalthea tmux attach -t irssi

-t is used here to fix pseudo-terminal issues, it might or might not apply to your situation. The username is implied since it's the same on the server as on the client.

Thank you, you're right i was wrong. I used ths syntax because it was in the sparkleshare error message, but like this "ssh://...:/.../...".
