- Run
ifconfigto find what ethernet controller you have. Mine wasem0.fixit# ifconfig - Now assign an IP address. Make sure to find an open IP Address that is not already in use.
fixit# ifconfig em0 inet 192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.255.0
- Run the following commands to enable ssh/sftp capability:
Fixit#
Fixit#mkdir /usr/bin
ln -s /mnt2/usr/bin/ssh /usr/bin/ssh
You can now connect to a server on your same subnet using sftp. Feel free to add a default route if you need to connect to a remote server or add a DNS server if you need name resolution.
fixit# sftp user@192.168.0.10
