I have several windows 7 machines and I want to be able to restore an image I've created by connecting through an ssh server. I'm unfortunately a complete newb at the ssh thing (using winscp to access my phone is as far as I've ever gotten). I have attempted to follow instructions found online, but to no avail. So here it is.
From there I shared the folder containing the image files.
Both computers are directly connected with a crossover cable, and their ip addresses are set to
ip: 192.100.100.#
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.100.100.3
there is a dns server set here, but I'm not sure if that matters (should I turn this off?)
the computer is set to the workgroup, "WORKGROUP"
I boot up clonezilla on the target machine, and select the ssh option. I choose static ip, and accept the default for the eth0. I type the host machine's ip, and the port is 22.
it asks me what account in server for read/write - I have tried administrator and the other users i have set up. I was curious what was most appropriate here
for the /home/partimag section, I'm a little lost. I've used ubuntu before and have done some coding with python, but how do I tell codezilla that we're working with windows? or what directory do I point it to? D:\clonezilla doesn't seem to do the trick.
any help here is SUPER APPRECIATED. I've spent an entire day trying to figure this out -_-

The host machine is running an ssh server set up through cygwin. I used the tutorial found here: http://lifehacker.com/205090/geek-to-live--set-up-a-personal-home-ssh-server
