What I'm looking for is a guide like #996672: How to access the Quickstart guest from your host through SSH (e.g using a ftp-client like fileZilla) and Remote Access Quickstart: Bridged Networking for DrupalPro.

I had gotten this to work with Quickstart (specifically, the installing OpenSSH Server way) but I don't seem to be able to do it with DrupalPro.

I know documentation always comes last, but if anyone else has successfully done this with DrupalPro, I'd love to hear about it!

I also use to make it work with Quickstart I cannot use it in Drupalpro.

I've installed openssh-server, add a second Network interface: Host-only, tried to connect to the IP of this new card but I can't make it work.

It is buggy or we have to do/install something special to make it work?

I think the problem is firewall is on by default. This is one of the security features included in DrupalPro (since the current setup is still pretty insecure).

to solve this. open port 22. also ensure a "network adaptor" is turned on (and the selection for cable attached is enabled)

I've attached some files to walk you through the process.

This is great -- thanks! I'm only re-opening this to ask that the images/documentation be included (or at least linked to) in the next release. If nothing else than linking to this issue queue. I know with the Quickstart project I often had to fumble around in the forums, only to find documentation for this kind of thing had already been worked out, but never mentioned anywhere on the project page or within the readme files. So this is just a request for that :)

Note that this is a feature request for documentation. I get that the feature for doing this exists in DrupalPro, I'm just looking for the documentation to be included.

Also see #1780034: Document how to access the dev-sites from the host's browser, which is a related request.

@rootwork - I'm assuming you made progress with ssh/etc? if so, awesome!

And yes, I think some documentation is essential. I incorrectly closed this issue previously, thinking it was an issue about a bug, when in fact it is a feature request for documentation. Reopening makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Note, I've tried to keep DrupalPro as close to vanilla Ubuntu 12.04 as possible while adding useful packages and configuration to support some of the best practices for Drupal development/theming. I've also removed non-essential items in order to make the image download smaller. Therefore, a search of the web for Ubuntu 12.04 help is usually very helpful to solving most things. However, in this case I had enabled the default firewall in ubuntu (man ufw). I also installed a GUI to make it easy for people to access. neither of which as vanilla Ubuntu.

All that said, I think the key to proper documentation of DrupalPro are the things that are different from Ubuntu. So this issue has really helped me to think about what should be documented versus what documentation is better left to the Ubuntu/Apache/Drupal/Etc communities. again, thanks. :)

Has there been any progress on this? I see the last comment is 3 years old now.
