Oh? Salmo's IP address is 192.168.55.1 while the router's is 192.168.55.4.

Well!

# ssh localhost
The authenticity of host '[localhost]:<port_redacted> ([127.0.0.1]:14982)' can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:/RInRdtcIMbpPu3LZmpg5wfAWi9ozQwgKLPnTQEDcxg.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '[localhost]:<port_redacted>' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
Permission denied (publickey).

# ssh localhost
Permission denied (publickey).

Sigh. This is all new. Any idea how I fix it?

I don't need a secure shell with the external backup drive any more than I
do when I plug in a USB flash drive. Where might I learn how to do the
transfers without ssh?
