Web server under Unix

The ssh server has usually been installed. If not, install and activate it via the package system of the operating system. Only the client has to be installed for rsync (not rsyncd).

At first, a “web” Unix user account which receives read/write permissions on the documentary directory of the web server (e.g. /var/www) has to be created on the web server. This can be achieved, e.g., by creating a Unix group containing the user account of the web server and the newly created “web”.

The login via ssh at the "web” user account (with password) should be subsequently checked via another computer (Unix or Windows). Make sure that the ssh client uses the ssh protocol 2. Under Windows it is possible to use the ssh client putty.exe.
