I decided to use proftpd as a ftp server on my pi. It was very easy to install with sudo apt-get install proftpd. I chose standalone, and now I can easily connect from another computer, in my case using Filezilla GUI. Now this was only the start. I want to add users, restrict to home directories etc...

Hi all, Seems as if you have the same problem as I, see thread http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=37169&p=309997#p309997 I have two terminal windows open.

If time given, I will connect the pi direct to keyboard/mouse/HDMI instead of installing via network/ssh. Then I will see what happens direct on the monitor. I th...

Whenever I want to install a new package I start with "sudo apt-get update" to make sure I am updated. Just now...

Thanks bredman, your tip worked for me. In my case, however, the conf file is /etc/ssh_config (ssh client on Mac Mountain Lion, 10.8.2). I commented like this: # SendEnv LANG LC_* and now I can even run python scripts on the raspberry that earlier caused errors like "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' code...
