Gregg, I received the pl2303 and the cable a couple days ago and was able to get it working without too much fuss. You're right about the cable. The one I received is different than what was pictured in the howto and only has 3 wires (no yellow) instead of 4. Below is Qui's pictured cable from the article. But my white connector was wired different...
Instead of White-Yellow-Red-Black, mine was wired Red-Black-White (no yellow). I left the white connector as is. The black connector I disassembled using a safety pin as he suggested. Then looking at the above picture I made the the following color substitutions: White->Red; Red->White; Yellow->Black. The idea is to maintain continuity between appropriate pins on the black and white connectors as illustrated in the picture. Hope that's clear enough.
I installed the attached driver on my win xp laptop and set up putty as per the instructions. It worked straight away and I was able to undo my initial blunder by adding a command to start the sshd daemon in file rcS which runs on boot. Now I can use sshfs to mount and play my 4TB of music remotely.
I have one remaining problem though. It only seems to work if I sshfs as the root user:
sshfs -p 22222 root@ip_address: mountpoint_folder --> this works fine
sshfs -p 22222 user@ip_address: mountpoint_folder --> this fails with error: "remote host has disconnected"
An important note: ssh login works fine for both root and user!
Even on an obscure port like 22222 I don't like connecting as root (I would actually like to disable root login), but I can seem get it to work as a regular user. This is my first time using sshfs. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
