Hi,
I'm setting up a new home-server. One of the things it has to do is sharing files, so they can be backed-up. What's the "best" way to share files between linux-machines ? Now I have Samba. I'm thinking of replacing it by NFS. I have a desktop PC that's used by the family. Sometimes I connect with my work-laptop (dual boot linux, seldom Windows). I want personal shares and a "shared" share.
Comments please.
Hi Koenraad, I use sshfs with fuse to share directories between my Linux machines. I set up the ssh keys between the machines and test that I can login with ssh from the one machine to the other with the selected user account without it asking for a password. Then I add the required entries in the fstab and mount them. You can make them user controlled or permanent. I use gkrellm and it has a nice section where you can mount and unmount drives with a click of a button. I don't know if there are sshfs or fuse clients for Windows. I use WinSCP for the rare occasions when I need to trasfer files between Windows and Linux HTH -- Andre Truter | Software Consultant | Registered Linux user #185282 Jabber: andre.truter@gmail.com | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
