Mounting over the netowrk

[QbertsBrother]

i have 2 linux boxes. one running fedora 8 and the other running fedora 9.

what i would like to do is mount a folder that is on one box on the other.

i have tried to mount it using this command

//10.0.0.20/Files /RemoteFiles smbfs

that did not work

does anyone have any info on how i would connect the 2

thanks

See Redhat's way of doing this.

Make sure on source box nfsd is running.

Check using:

/etc/init.d/nfs status

On destination box:

mkdir -p /mnt/u01_data

mount source_box.com:/u01/data /mnt/u01_data

It's not persistent, but if you have sshfs installed, it's easy (and more secure than smb):

sshfs 10.0.0.20:Files /RemoteFiles

thanks everyone

but this is what i may want to do. what i am eventually trying to do is this.

one box is a file server. one box is a web server. i want the web server to create a folder using php on the file server. i may not need a persistent connection as i only need to connect to make the folder.

i did this
/etc/init.d/nfs status

and nfs is running

but this does not work when i replace the values with my own. i may not be referencing my box correctly.
mount source_box.com:/u01/data /mnt/u01_data

but i really only need to connect make the folder and thats it. i thought it may be easier if i mounted the location on my file system to make folders.
