use nfs? this used to be the 'normal' way for me to transfer files between linux systems, until fish:// came along. i know there were problems creating new fish connections on KDE 4.5.x, and since KDE stable is now at 4.6, i'm not sure these will be fixed. for me, on KDE 4.6.1, fish works fine. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

no trolling, honest. but, let's say that files from the desktop /documents are to be transferred to the laptop /documents folder. the sync command will transfer the files from the dektop, so now the laptop has all the files from the desktop. But, wouldn't the --delete option remove any files from the laptop that are *not* in the desktop? If one isn't always careful, one can loose work that way, no? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The OP advertised himself as simple and ignorant with the very first post. It was entirely correct in that context to say either nothing at all to them, since you have no idea that they'll follow directions accurately, or if you say anything, say only the safest possible things. When a person says "I can't figure out how to turn my tv on and the remote is too complicated and I don't want to read the manual either because I'm too lazy and I can't understand it anyways." You do not tell THAT person to take the back off the tv and look for broken wires to fix and then call it THEIR fault if they get electrocuted because you included a note about being careful. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I feel sure the OP is asking us to tell him what to do. But no one tells him what to do. Why not let's ask him for his internal network addresses. They may be 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2. But we don't know so we can't help him. If we knew this information a rsync guru could give him an exact command line to use. No? I'm sure that's all he's looking for.

OK I just did it. I export /home from the nfs server to all internal computers.Nis looks after the passwords.. So /home is mirrored on the client. You can then go to the client and: rsync -auzv /home /mnt The server folder home, is now under /mnt on the second computer That't the nearest I can get generalising. hth Lx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Assuming one machine will initially have the master copy, rsync is your answer. I rsync several gigabytes a day unattended/cron-driven. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
