Help with two machines requested

Post by dollyknot »

Hello,

Have managed to get two machines to play each other with this command.

xboard -fcp "ssh -v peter@192.168.0.4 /usr/games/crafty" -scp crafty

Which works a treat.

But when I try.

xboard -fcp crafty -scp "ssh -v peter@192.168.0.4 /usr/games/crafty"

To give my main machine the white pieces, after typing in the password to log into my laptop from my main machine, It comes back with.

xboard.real: Error: second chess program (ssh -v peter@192.168.0.4 /usr/games/crafty) exited unexpectedly

xboard.real: Error writing to second chess program: Broken pipe.

Can someone kindly tell me the syntax of the correct command please.

Thanks

Peter.
