Sharing files between RHEL and Fedora 11
 

Hello Everyone,

I have two machines, a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 machine and a Fedora 11 machine. I need to know what is the easiest, most secure way of sharing files, and how to mount those files on my desktop. I have Samba on both machines in the same workgroup, but if I don't have a Windows box do I need Samba?

Again, looking for easy and secure if there is such a thing.


Many thanks in advance for anyone's help, even if you point me to some documentation.


Thanks again,

The easiest way to do it is to use NFS...you _can_ use SAMBA...but if you are just sharing between Linux servers (i.e. *NO* Windows machines involved); then NFS is the best way to go.

Yeah there are no windows boxes just the two Linux (RHEL and Fedora 11) any documentation you know of for installing and configuring NFS?

Many thanks,

You could open your browser and in the address bar "sftp://name@###.###.##.##" and that should get you a login prompt.

If it is just on your network security may not be a problem. Try it. :)

This is some good info...

RHEL NFS http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...l5_ch-nfs.html
For even more secure, try sshfs.
