Networking - How to share files between 2 kanotix machines UncleDeadley - 25.09.2006, 03:18 Uhr Titel: How to share files between 2 kanotix machines
What is the way to share folders/files/harddrives between 2 kanotix machines hooked to the same router? I knew how to do this using windows, but now I need to learn the linux way. I saw something on a debian site about NFS, and setting it up looked mildy complicated and involved getting several services started. Was that what I wanted, or is there another/easier way? Thanks.

Does looking at the Nfs-Kernel-Server Howto help any

Yeah, that's more my speed Thanks piper. I'll give this a try and report back. Where did you search to find that? I seem to have missed it.

UncleDeadley, I found that in the Wiki > Networking ockham23 - 25.09.2006, 08:37 Uhr Titel: RE: How to share files between 2 kanotix machines
UncleDeadley, a simple form of file sharing is already built into Konqueror: Enter
Code:
su
dpkg-reconfigure freenx
on the server. This will start ssh and set up the freenx server. On the client, launch Konqueror and type
Code:
fish://[ip_address]
in the address field. Replace "[ip_address]" with the IP address of the server and you can access your files upon entering your user name and password. You can even remote control the server with NXclient from the Network menu.

Oh, ockham, that was just TOO easy! Thanks I also found this forum post relating to freenx: http://kanotix.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t ... reenx.html
and enabled the freenx server on my home machine so I can get to it from work. Are there any default settings I need to change so that I don't get myself hacked?

Yes: Select a password for your user account that's difficult to crack (the longer the better) and create a pair of ssh keys as described in biohackery's how-to.

OK, I did the custom key as suggested in the how-to, and I'll come up with a bigger password. Thanks again
Thanks piper. I'll give this a try and report back. Where did you search to find that? I seem to have missed it.
