How to bring up Network info on an Acer Aspire One (Linux)?


Recommended Posts

Hi all:

I'd like to use Transmit to establish a connection (FTP) between OS X Leopard and an Acer Aspire One netbook running Linux, that is also using my wireless connection.

I need the server name, user name, etc. - basically everything Transmit needs to establish a connection. For some reason I don't have the user name or the password. Upon first boot up we were never asked to input that info. I can't even change the password because it asks for the older one first. Not sure if this problem can be bypassed.

How do I bring up this info on Acer? It runs XFCE by default, and i can get the terminal to appear by pressing At+F2. What is the next command?

Thanks!

It did ask you a password, you just don't remember it (I got that netbook). To access low level, config, press ctrl+F2 and launch a terminal (xterm, eterm, aterm one of them is installed if I remember). Then use

sudo ifconfig

hostname

adduser

passwd

to see / create the information you are looking for. You can also install an FTP server on the Acer one with the command

sudo yum install proftpd #(or some other Linux FTP server)

Then you will ahve to find a tutorial for fedora (the Linux comming in the One is fedora core 8 based) about how to enable it by default and setup account/security
