I am capable of accessing my schools servers remotely via SSH, SFTP, etc. I was curious how one would go about remotely accessing your own machine remotely from another machine. I guess I am asking what would my host name be?

You mean over the internet? You need to find out the IP your provider assigned to your box. Easiest way is a DynDNS account.
If your machine is behind a router, you need to forward the necessary ports on the router to the local IP of your machine.

ok I understood most of that, lets say I would like to take baby steps and ssh within my own network?
On the LAN is a doddle.
In KDE you can use fish://
eg: fish://xxxx@192.168.0.2/home
You need to set up ssh

Within or into your own network?
Give us more information about your network setup, please.

Also, turn off the firewall’s block of port 22 (TCP) on the machine being
accessed.
Good luck.

Within in my network. I have a desktop connected via a wireless bridge upstairs. Say I am in the living room with my laptop. What would it take to access my desktop up stairs from the living room on my laptop
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
By default with SUSE stuff SSH is running so just open the firewall port
on the machine upstairs and SSH to it from the machine downstairs:
ssh usernameOnRemoteBox@remoteBox
If the username you use on your local box is the same as the remote box just:
ssh remoteBox
Good luck.

is there any security issues with opening up that port? sorry im not that familiar with networking
Hi, mine is open since a few years now. Nothing bad has happened. I remember security issues with ssh and Debian earlier this year, but Suse was not affected.
So, if you don’t open that port, you will not be able to connect to your box via ssh. And with ssh you can also do fancy things like X11 forwarding. I like it. Nomad http://en.opensuse.org/Nomad is great as well. Whatever, regards and good luck!
I agree, the x11 forwarding is very cool. I SSH into my campus machine all the time to run my Cadence VLSI tools(Im a student at UCSC, EE major).
So how would i open port 22 with opensuse(gnome)
Yast - Security and Users - Firewall - Allowed Services
In the drop box look for Secure Shell Server and select then click the add button, then next and thru to the finish.
Just wanted to mention. I also use a kde3 application, even now I am using it in kde4 and SUSE 11.2 which doesn’t even come with kde3.
It’s called kde3-kssh
And can be added from this repo in 11.1: Index of /repositories/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_11.1
Just enter the LAN IP the Server Username and password
It open a terminal which on the server. So for example, if you type in there firefox, it will open the FF browser from the Server in your remote machine.

X-forwarding is quite slow over GPRS and even 3G/UMTS.
If a GUI/desktop over Internet is interesting I think FreeNX is far the
best. It works fine over 3G and is usable even over GPRS.
It has come with openSUSE at least till version 11.0.
It seems to have been dropped in 11.2.
But it can be easily obtained in two versions, NoMachine and GPL
I can leave my KDE session on my desktop and then attach the same
session somewhere else with my laptop, anywhere I like.
So the same session can go on anywhere, anytime, with any machine
running the client.

to your note about NX, vahis. I was using it and very much liked it with R11.0 but it doesn’t work in R11.1 i get some errors on the client when trying to connect which I was not able to resolve them. Not sure if you upgraded to 11.1 and still using it. If yes maybe a different thread would be better to continue our comments.
Sorry for changing the thread topic.
Worth mentioning that opening this service to the network (or, worse, the internet) creates a security problem as people can just keep guessing passwords as rapidly as they like.
You should as a minimum make sure ‘root’ is listed in ‘deny users’ part of sshd.config, and think seriously about something like sshdfilter or fail2ban to shut down connections that guess wrongly frequently.
