pygtk-fsacls can be used to remotely operate on a distant host provided a SSH link can be opened to that host.
The steps for remote use of pygtk-fsacls is to be found in the remote section and consists in automating the following tasks:
- create a public-private DSA key pair (you may have to restart your X-session if you didn't have keys)
- loading the SSH agent with this key so that you don't have to enter a password
- export the public key to the target remote host so that it accepts the key
- test a SSH session (which now must be automated, no passwords required)
- clone pygtk-fsacls to remote host
To enter remote mode:
- make sure the remote key has been exported (once for all)
- make sure the key is loaded to the agent (once per session), you will be asked its password on loading it to the agent
- tick the run remotely checkbox
- run operations from menu
- output will display the hosts it runs on on the first line
