That worked, although I get this the first time I connect with a new program (terminal, cyberduck, etc.)
Connecting to 97.81.82.76...
The authenticity of host '97.81.82.76 (97.81.82.76)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, etc.).
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '97.81.82.76' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
When I add yes to the above, it validates and doesn't ask me again. Is this just a generic message that anyone would get when attempting to connect for the first time? I know the authentication comes afterwards.
Also, how do I make a guest login and define a single folder for them to use? I would have to turn password authentication on for that, wouldn't I? I want this to be as simple as possible for them.
