My two computers are both connected through a switch with the router by cable. I want to have the possibility to exchange data between the computers on a regular base....
Sounds like you've done most of the work already, i.e. the two computers are connected to a switch. Then you just need to assign some network addresses. As you have a router on your network too (presumably for your internet connection), it probably has a dhcp server, so just configure both computers to use dhcp (the default) on the network interface. All done.
Without any NFS or Samba configuration on either computer on either end???
Sure - he can use scp, rsync, netcat, ftp etc. Plenty of options, but it depends on how and what data he wants to exchange.
Are you sure you're not missing some implications of the OP's language. I doubt he meant "possibility" in the strict sense of the word. I'm guessing he's primarily interested in ease of use, which for the most part excludes cmdline utilities.
Perhaps, only the OP can say.
For the most part, I use /etc/exports and a smattering of fstab entries, but I wonder what other people who share data on an ongoing/recurring/daily basis, rather than merely occasional, do to maximize ease, more or less as if the two computers were two users of one computer?
For two users on the same system, just put them in a group together and create a directory where they can share stuff. For two users on different local systems, NFS. For two users on external systems, we use owncloud. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
