If you want to transfer files/directory then use scp command

If you are interested in sharing directory with another machine,use nfs. It's pretty simple.

Make sure nfs daemons running on both machines.

First setup the server
Setting Up an NFS Server

and then client

Setting up an NFS Client

i did the following....

SERVER:

vi /etc/exports
/usr IPaddress_of_client(ro)
service nfs start

now im able to see nfs running..

CLIENT:

service nfs start
mount IPadd_of_server :/usr

but im not getting anything in client.....

In server you need to run the command
exportfs -va

and make sure you have correct entries in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.allow files as mention in previous link.

error comes like

mount.nfs : Internel error

[Lakshmipathi]

try disabling any firewall in both machines using command

/etc/init.d/iptables stop

Make sure all nfs daemons are getting stoppped and restarted while

service nfs restart

and then check this link looks like similar issue.
nfs internal error - FedoraForum.org

and post your exact error message with error numbers ,if any.

can you give me an example how to use scp...

jay(10.x.x.xx) wants to share /usr/sample.txt with siva(10.x.x.yy)

i tried with man page and googled...

scp siva@10.x.x.xx /usr/sample.txt

but "No such file or directory" is coming...
file is there im sure..

Copying a file called /home/lg/text.txt from local machine (10.237.214.254) to remote machine (10.237.214.250) under location /root

Here it's (I'm logged into localmachine)

scp /home/lg/text.txt root@10.237.214.250:/root

Now it prompt for root password of remote machine . and files are transferred.

if you want copy remote machines files say /root/remote.txt to localmachine /tmp
then use
(I logged into localmachine)

scp root@10.237.214.250:/root/remote.txt /tmp

If you want to copy directory (/home/lg) then use -r option with scp

scp -r /home/lg root@10.237.214.250:/root

I think now

man scp

will help you
