sending files over LAN
 

which is the command for sending files from linux-box to linux-box over LAN?

protocol: TCP/IP
IPs: 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2
btw: no x-window
:D

Without mounting a drive - either ftp or scp.

scp is more secure so I would use that.

thx, are there any pages, where I can find a howto or any else about this command???:scratch:

well the manpage of course. "man scp" for example.

FTP
 

I normally use FTP, it's not as secure as SCP, but if it's your own private network, then it doesn't matter. Besides, not having to use encryption speeds things up too (save all the encryption processing).

1. Make sure you have FTPD installed on the server. If not, download the wu-ftpd server (my fav ftp server) and install it.

2. Make sure it's a running service. Use the following command for this:

ntsysv

3. On the client machine, make sure you have FTP installed. This is almost always installed, but you can check by issuing this command:

rpm -q ftp

4. On the client machine, issue this command:

ftp client_ip_address

If you need help with the FTP client, read the man page for FTP (man ftp)

To mount a samba share:
mount -t smb //MACHINE/share /mnt/share
