Hi. I am just trying to mount some of my directorys on my fedora core box to a folder on my Suse 10 box and R having nothing but problems. I tryed... mount //192.168.55.101/home/node1/mp3 /home/link/mp3 And it asks me for a password , but doesn't connect In windows , Start , Run //192.168.55.101/home/node1/mp3 works fine The fc4 box is running samba and NFS mount -t nfs 192.168.55.101:/home/node1 /home/links/temp connects but the mp3 folder inside /home/links/temp/mp3 is empty , however there is some files that live in /home/links/temp that show up that are from the other system. I know this is a little confustion but any info would be great. Also what is the best why to share files between two flavours of linux anyways? Thanks T-boy

Hi, to share files between two Linux machines you should use NFS not samba. Samba is used to share files between Linux and Windows. The best way to strart is http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO.html But you could also use ssh (sftp is part of ssh so you could use it too). On suse just run /etc/init.d/sshd start than from console enter : ssh user@localhost That's it see ya Prodor

It need to files to be perminitly mapped or mounted to a certan directory on the suse 10 box I"ll check out that link thanks
