This explains the failure to be able to put the ISO on /tmp/xfer. Your
root partition has only 411MB left.

I'd suggest you get a 16GB thumb drive, put the ISO on *that*, and
sshfs to *that*. I'm pretty sure that will do the trick.

Or, if you have another hard disk hanging around, stuff it in the box,
partition and mount it, and put the ISO on *that*.

For one thing, just try ssh'ing into the box. That will tell you if
it's a basic ssh problem or if it's something with sshfs.

Also, the firewall could be getting in the way. I don't remember the
right nmap commands, but you could take a closer look at what's really
going on at port 22. Or, perhaps you could disconnect *everything* from
the Internet for a few minutes, shut down the firewall, and try again.

There are a million things that could cause this stuff, and you can
just use the process of elimination to keep cutting the root cause
scope in half.

HTH,
