networking two FC3 machines

well, how do i use nfs or fish://?

For fish (which is basicly ssh) you'll need to have a ssh server running. Comes standard with most distributions. In KDE applications like Konqueror I type in the address bar fish://192.168.100.100 to access my server.

NFS needs setting up your /etc/exports file first. Better read a HOWTO about it first, it is not very difficult. After that you start your NFS and Portmap server. Then you can mount remote filesystems which you shared in your exports file.

SSH should work out of the box, but I neither do use Gnome nor RedHat / FC . So howto switch that on in Gnome ( I assume you use Gnome, KDE should work out of the box) . So it is better to wait for someone who does know your distro

If you're going to use nfs, you need to make sure that nfs is running

service start nfs

I believe that smb is the same way

service smb start

then try connecting via nautilus smb://<host-name>

I still use samba even if I am connecting two linux boxes. It is efficient and stable. Plus if you put a windows box on your network it will be ready.


Hey I had never heard of fish. I tested it after reading this thread that is really cool thanks for the tip.

You can use sftp to put and get files to/from a remote system!

Just use sftp user@<remote-address-or-name>

then PUT or GET something.
