NFS: Over internet, between Win-Linux?


Hi guys,

not sure if it is possible, and not sure how I should go about it so could someone please advice me:

1) Can I do NFS over the internet, advisable..?
2 servers, both in different location.

2) If the server I am trying to link to is Windows-based using IIS, can NFS still be done? Is there any recommended documentation I can take a look?

Many thanks!

No.

I think that you either want to use ftp or ssh or set up a virtual lan connection and use samba on the linux server.

so using Samba, I will be able to set it such that, if set properly, I can access the shared drives on that windows server?

well when mounting an NFS share you need to put the LAN ip in, maybe a WAN ip would work, you'd need to allow access from the client IP to yoru server box though.

What exactly do you want it for? transferring files? use ssh with scp, or ftp.

Yes, Samba was written to be able to network windows and linux machines. There is probably a samba-doc package you can install that includes 3 books on samba 3.

i'm setting up a server for file downloads (like download.com etc)

my idea is as such

Server #1 (1 PublicIP, 1 LanIP)
scripts/applications

Server #2 (1 LanIP)
Files
Database

The testing platform was done such that #1 has a folder that is link (via NFS) to #2. So the scripts in #1 just link to the folder (which is soft-linked to #2).

But due to some circumstances, the 2nd server is in another location currently so thus I need to do it over the internet for the time being.
