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.

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.
