Help Needed .. in a bad way ...
Guys and Gals
I've got a bit of a problem my Windows XP laptop has died - I've burnt a cd with Knoppix on it - and it boots fine. My Linux abilities are a bit rusty and well thin on the ground - I need to transfer files off the HD so I need to get SSH working so I can connect to the laptop from another windows machine.
Each time I run SSHD I get could not load host key..
Can anyone shed some light how to get this up and running
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Cheers
Junior

If your goal is to get the files off to another windows machine, I'd recommend the easy approach. Start the ftp daemon on the Knoppix side, then use a windows ftp client on the good side. Not quite as secure, but much less pain than ssh for a temporary fix.
