<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>I have a brand new server on my home network (a good Christmas present that!) and have got it up and working using Ubuntu Server 12.04. Lots of things are working well, but I have run into a few things that I don't know how to handle. I am sure that these are very basic questions and would appreciate a bit of patience as I struggle with some new concepts!<br>
<br></div>My first problem is that I can can connect to the server via PuTTY on SSH and by using Nautilus's "Connect to Server" only by using the IP address. (I have made it a static address so this is not a serious problem). Why does using the host name not work? <br>
<br></div>The second problem is that Nautilus gives me a window which gives me access to the file system on the server. But how do I access the files directly? Nautilus gives the location of the server file system as:<br>
<br>sftp://<a href="http://biffmcdoo@10.0.0.5/">biffmcdoo@10.0.0.5/</a><br><br></div>("biffmcdoo" being the user name on the server).<br><br>But I would like to use rsync to backup my files directly from my Ubuntu desktop. How can I address these files? It seems that the directory is mounted (Nautilus gives me the option of unmounting it), but where?<br>
<br></div>Thanks,<br><br></div> Bill<br></div>
