It supports .NET Standard 1.3 and 2.0, so it should just work in Core.

I added SshNet with Nuget, and it workds great. Smile | :)

using SshNet;

using (var client = new SshClient("192.168.1.10", "userid", "password"))
{
    client.Connect();
    string data = string.Empty;
    using (SshCommand cmd = client.CreateCommand("cat /proc/cpuinfo"))
    {
        data = cmd.Execute();
    }
}

FTP would require both installation and configuration on the Linux machines. SSH service is installed by default but not enabled.

Is not FTP installed by default on all Linux machines nowadays?

I honestly would have taken that for granted. FTP was developed in the days when you measured program size in kilobytes. The protocol is so simple that a student could implement it as homework assignment #3. I can't see any reason for taking it out.

No, not anymore. There are better replacements such as SFTP or SCP. Curl or wget can be used as FTP clients if absolutely necessary.

Those days nobody could imagine the need for network security. FTP transmits everything, including user credentials, in cleartext. The protocol design makes it difficult to pass through firewalls without causing additional security risks. In general, it's just too dangerous and should not be used.

Do you want to force linux to do the windows thing, or windows to do the linux thing?

For the former run samba on the linux box and create shares you can access from windows. This will probably suck, the degree to which it sucks will depend on the file system you are using on the linux side.

For the latter you can run an ftp server on the linux side or setup ssh and use scp. These will suck less.

I found a solution - use the SshNet library and I don't have to do anything on the other pi's on the network.

If those files aren't shared, how do you expect to read them? after all, if those remote files were on Windows, you'd still need to share them for a remote computer to read them.

You appear to be under the impression that, on Linux, all files are shared by default. I can assure you that this is not the case.

How do I go about reading a file on a remote linux box?

Same way you would on a Windows box: you'd create a share.

A second option is to install some sort of file server on the Pis(ftp, http, ssh/scp, etc) and use that to copy the files across.

I know I am missing something really simple here, but all I am trying to do is display a image from a jpg file on a glade form statically w/o a file chooser, here is my code so far, any help would be great.

} app_widgets;

gchar *file_name = "image1.jpg";        // Name of file to open from dialog box
// image = gtk_image_new_from_file ("splash1.jpg");

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    GtkBuilder      *builder;
    GtkWidget       *window;

    app_widgets     *widgets = g_slice_new(app_widgets);
    // gchar *file_name = "file.jpg";        // Name of file to open 
    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

    builder = gtk_builder_new_from_file("glade/window_main.glade");
    window = GTK_WIDGET(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "window_main"));
    widgets->w_dlg_file_choose = GTK_WIDGET(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "dlg_file_choose"));
    widgets->w_img_main = GTK_WIDGET(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, "img_main"));

Yes, the details of your problem.

More advise wanted - how to run TWO loops ?

Here is the latest snag I am against.
Main part of my application is to WAIT to receive data.
In fancy techno talk - I have a server in "accept" state - waiting to receive data - hence processing is stopped.

The data received is processed and then passed to OpenGL - OpenGL is in similar waiting state "they" call glutMainLoop();

Obviously unworkable situation - cannot have two waiting state. .

Found "fork" which creates two processes , but they do not share variables.
Looking at socketpair to solve that "problem".

Now it looks as proverbial "long way around the barn"...

Any other "professional" suggestion ?

Not really sure how to debug such setup - jumping between processes , but willing to try it.

Multiple processes can happily share variables in global memory. They just need to use semaphores or mutexes to synchronise their access. Just about every application running on the web, on desktops, phones etc. uses these features.

fork() and signal() - that's what I used in the 1980's and 1990's before POSIX 4 (later POSIX 1a now pthreads and more recently, threads native to C11 and C++11) came into being. This includes sigwait(), sigpause(), sigsuspend(), etc. Some of these work with threads. It might be possible to emulate the functionality of all concurrency primitives with these elements alone.

You can look under the POSIX Standard for more information The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7, 2018 edition[^]

There is already a multi-platform Pause-Resume thread framework on this site. That's what landed me on this web site. It's right here Data Processing Thread with the Pause/Resume Functionality[^]
