I have two computers running SuSE 10.2 and connected by Ethernet cables to the same ADSL router. Internet works fine on both computers.

Please help to configure a LAN to transfer files (FTP) from one computer to the other. I cannot figure out from Ch 21, Basic Networking in the Reference documentation, how to do it.

A quickie.... fire up Konqueror and in the url line type: fish://IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net. Check that the firewall on that other machine is open for traffic on port 22 (YaST). Check that you can - from within a shell as any user - do: ping IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net escape from ping with ctrl-c. If ping doesn't work, then your network is buggy. If you don't want to type the "IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net" all the time, make an entry, as root, into /etc/hosts like this: IP-of-that-other-machine-on-your-local-net secondmachine i.e.: 192.168.0.3 secondmachine then go: fish://secondmachine This should get you going, this list will give you 20+ others ways of doing the same thing :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just a minor suggestion; use SSH/SCP and/or rsync to transfer files. Much easier than ftp transfers ==John ffitch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
