Windows & Tabs > Configure Scans Dialog

This feature is only available in the "Enterprise Edition" of SpaceObServer!

With SpaceObServer you can scan by default any shares that are mapped to your Windows operating system. So if you map a Linux or Unix share via Samba to your Windows system. SpaceObServer can scan this share, just like any Windows shares.

However, SpaceObServer can also communicate with Linux and Unix servers via the network protocol SSH (Secure Shell). This means that SpaceObServer can scan Linux and windows shares, without the need to map integrate them into your Windows environment!

SSH Scans:

To add a new SSH scan click on the "Add Scan" button in the Configure Scans dialog, then choose the "Linux / Unix" tab:

Server Name	The Name/IP of the Linux or Unix server you want to scan.
Server Port	The port used for the SSH protocol on this server. Default SSH port is 22.
User Name	The user name used for authentication on the server.
Password	The password used for authentication on the server.
Password Confirmation	Reenter the password here.
Directory	The directory you want to scan on the server. Use blank to scan the Linux file system root ("/").

Note: To scan a Linux Server via SSH you have to activate "Password Authentication" in the SSH configuration file. Otherwise you will get an "Authentication failed" error when trying to connect.
