says
" ssh://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxx/remote/dir/" the hostname of
this
machine is "laptop" (very creative right). The user name for the
server
is simply "server". Which user name and which password is used in
the
"username:password"? I simply use the IP address for my server. I
have
tried every combination I can think of but get NOWHERE! Any ideas or
suggestions for a simpler way to backup my laptop. Maybe doing it
with
commandlines would be easier.

Simple Backup is quite a good tool. I am using it for my daily
incremental backups and once in a fortnight full backup. There might be
issue with the /remote/dir write permission for the user server. check if
the owner or the group has the write permission for the dir.



The command to change the permission would be:
chown -R root:users /remote/dir
chmod -R ug+rwx,o+rx-w /remote/dir
I am not sure what I am doing but is this what I need to do to change
permission?

Thats right but make sure the user "server"(which you have been using for
the simple backup) is the member of the group user.



I went to System/Administration/Users and Group to add server on the laptop,
but I am not sure I did it correctly because when I plugged in the ssh
information in Simple Backup I got the same error message. What command
lines to I use on the laptop to add "server" as a member and give it
permission?
