Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu One
At the moment it still looks like Ubuntu One is down. With all this talk about the Ubuntu One music store going online soon, if Ubuntu One does not work, then no one will get any music from it. Anyone know when it might be fixed? David King David King wrote: > Thanks. At least I have Dropbox to do my backups.

Your original question has been answered but just in case you don't know the file manager in Ubuntu called Nautilus can also make use of the SSH protocol (which SCP and SFTP both operate over too) to connect transfer and browse graphically. Under the "Places" menu is an option "Connect to server...". If you select the ssh option in the "Service type" drop down you can enter the destination Server (or its IP address), an optional port, default directory and username. You can also create "Bookmarks" to call this info up the next time you need it. I use a scheme such as "ssh2machinename". Hope this is helpful and apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] File Transfers
Any traffic destined for the local network will route exclusively to that network. As mentioned previously if you are on 192.168.1.1/24 and you send a file to 192.168.1.10, then routing occurs on the local machine. A broadcast ARP packet is sent to establish the MAC address of the machine and subsequently the port on the switch to send the packet to...the only time any routing gets done is if the machine is not on the local subnet (say for example sending a packet to 8.8.8.8), whereby the packet would then be sent to the default gateway on the network for routing. Another thing worth adding is that SFTP and SCP are actually safe methods of transport when sending data over the internet, as both are encrypted protocols :) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

If they have an external address (somehow, maybe a dyndns) then it will go through your ISP. So probably just through your router. :) Jonathon -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

You would need to do some fancy configuration in order to make the transfers pass through your ISP, but if you did so you could also make transfers if, for example, your laptop was in a coffee shop using their wi-fi and your desktop was still at home.

[ubuntu-uk] File Transfers
Hi Guys I've recently discovered scp and sftp as a means of transferring files between computers. I have a desktop and a laptop, both running Xubuntu 9.10. They are connected to a common router; the desktop via ethernet cable and the laptop via wi-fi. Whilst I know how to use these protocols at a simple level, I'm not clear on the background architecture. Do the transfers just take place locally through the router or do they go via my ISP? Apologies if this seems a bit dense. It's something I feel I should know already, but don't!

Do make sure your headset support a2dp though (required for the 'High quality' option mentioned in the wiki - also known as stereo bluetooth) - the quality of the standard heaset profile (that you would use with a mobile phone for making calls) is awful for music or watching videos. Brief instructions: * Pair the headset (using the setup new device wizard on the bluetooth applet) * Go to System > Preferences > Sound * On the hardware tab, select the bluetooth heaset, and choose the high quality profile from the drop down * On the output tab, select your headset You have to do that last step each time you connect the headset (or at least I do), but that should get you going.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Using a bluetooth headset
Install the Blueman package. This is an alternative to the Gnome bluetooth manager, and provides easy connection to headphones/headsets.
