Installed my first attempt at a Linux server a month ago - all was working well when I was working on the box. But now I am 3 states away - using SSHPutty to connect - have ncftp on the server, but keep getting a "you must first be connected" when I try to use it to upload a file.
Anyone hear of this before? Am guessing it's a no-brainer and I am doing something wrong. I am a newbie at Linux. Connecting over phone from Win XP Professional. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Also, cannot figure out how to access GUI interfaces through SSHPutty - have been working on the text terminal only - am thinking perhaps I cannot get to KDE or what-ever that other one is (grins). If not, does anyone have a better way?

If you just want to work with files on your server and your SSH access is working. I can recommend you CuteFTP from GlobalScape. There you can use a SFTP connection which means copying files using SSH2 and this way you can access all the files on your server using the root account.
I'm afraid I can't help you using remote GUI because I work only with the command prompt when I'm accessing the server from a distance. (In Germany you don't have fast internet connections everywhere.)
Hope I could help.
So long...

That's not quite trivial. To access to X applications through a SSH session you need to have X forwarding active on sshd.
And even then the configuration of KDE will have to be slighly modified.

Hmm... then it's even harder. For X forwarding to work on the client you need to have locally an X thin client, I think. And the dialup will be very unconfortable.

I don't know whether it would suit your needs. Does anyone have any experience of this program?
