To run dropbox from the command line on e.g. hms1 do the following:
ssh hms1 unset DISPLAY wget -O dropbox.tar.gz http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86_64 tar -zxvf dropbox.tar.gz cd .dropbox-dist ./dropboxd &
On the screen you will now get an URL like:
https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link?host_id=978d4a6f26218311b17d13e511dE215
Open this link in a browser (on any PC) and log on to your dropbox account. Next log off hms1 and log on again and write:
cd .dropbox-dist nohup ./dropboxd &
The daemon will run until next reboot (i.e. you should generally perform the last step once every month after the patch-day).
