Hello Jon,

You currently don’t have shell access, but you have SFTP access.

Can you try uploading files with scp/sftp? FileZilla might be a graphical option on Mac OS.

Hi Jon,


Based on how I just got it to work for me here is what I would suggest to try.


Run the command

ssh jon@people.ipfire.org

This will then show

jon@people.ipfire.org's password:

Enter your password and you should get:-

You can then do an ls -hal and run the mkdir public command, which is what I did and then did a touch public/test-doc and when I went to my home directory that empty file was shown. So it is now working for me, hopefully also for you soon.


Regards,

Adolf.

Hmm.  It does not work for me.

On a browser if I go to https://people.ipfire.org/~jon I see:
"Forbidden

Hey Jon,

You should be all set up for that.

You will need a client like WinSCP or scp on the command like to create a new directory called “public”. Everything that you put into that should automatically appear here:

https://people.ipfire.org/~jon

Let me know if this works for you.
