Your distro may have a wizard for adding shares. If not, look at the manpages for nfs, exports and mount.nfs. You configure the nfs server with the /etc/exports file. The nfs manpage will describe the /etc/fstab entry format for the clients.
Here is an example from my desktop:

Code:

/home/jschiwal/podcasts 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(fsid=0,rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
/home/jschiwal/music    192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)

Here are corresponding entries for mounting a share on my laptop:

Code:

hpmedia.jesnet:/home/jschiwal/podcasts  /mnt/hpmedia/podcasts   nfs     defaults,user,_netdev 0 0
hpmedia.jesnet:/home/jschiwal/music     /mnt/hpmedia/music      nfs     defaults,user,_netdev 0 0

Anonymous FTP?! Try to set that up and the anonymous ftp dir, the dir u wanna share, otherwise ftp sharing dont really think is possible.

rahuldevalone - I'm sure Jschiwal read your question carefully. The problem is that you ask for two different things, so to answer, one must be ignored. FTP != Sharing.

open the file /etc/passwd with your favorate editor and change the path of directory of ftp user. Actually ftp user default path is /var/ftp. Remove this path and replace your own path.
