how to share a folder to acces trough another fedora system

Maybe the most stupid question you guys ever heard, but i do not find the solution.

Now that i have acces on the netbook i would like to share a folder on my desktopcomputer so i can acces it with the netbook when im in the bedroom.(moviefolder)

But how do i share a folder in Fedora 15?

Username and password are the same on desktopcomputer and netbook.
desktop computer is named koen-pc
netbook is named koen-net

thx for the help

Re: how to share a folder to acces trough another fedora system

what i found out so far:
http://www.fergytech.com/2011/05/ena...-on-fedora-15/

When i try to connect with the netbook i get following output:

Code:

[root@Koen-NET ~]# ssh Koen@192.168.1.2

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.2 port 22: No route to host

192.168.1.2 is the network ip from the desktop computer (from the netbook is 192.168.1.8)

When i ping to the desktopcomputer from the netbook the ping output is correct:

Code:

[root@Koen-NET ~]# ping -c 10 192.168.1.2

So somewhere i am doing something wrong, but i can't find out what.
I didn't adjust any folder yet to be shared, probably that is the problem, but how do i adjust the folder i want to share?

thx

Check you firewall rules (iptables).

comparing objects

Re: how to share a folder to acces trough another fedora system

Another option is gnome-user-share, which sets up a webdav share of $HOME/Public (so it will install apache too). I believe it used to be installed by default.

If I recall correctly, you also had to be 'logged in' at the 'desktop computer' to access the files from the 'netbook computer'.

I found it much easier to open a nautilus window (on koen-NET), hit Control-L (or "Go | Location") & enter:

Code:

sftp://Koen-PC/home/ditzy/moviefolder

Nautilus will prompt you for username & password. It will show up under "Computer", and you can add it as a bookmark in nautilus.

Since it uses ssh, you have to be able to access one from the other & have sshd running (on the desktop computer):

Code:

[root@Koen-PC ~]# chkconfig sshd on

[root@Koen-PC ~]# service sshd start

I believe ssh is allowed thru the firewall by default, but you can make sure it's checked by hitting Alt-F2 and typing system-config-firewall.

I've been looking for a solution too. And here it was. Thanks.

What's the os of your netbook.

Re: how to share a folder to acces trough another fedora system

A quick way to share any folder is via python, change to the directory you want to share and type

Code:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

this will share the directory on port 8000 (you will need to open port 8000 in the firewall or temporarily stop the firewall (su -c 'service iptables stop')

then from any other machine on your network the directory is available via http://ip.of.your.machine:8000

eg if your machine's ip is 192.168.0.2 you can open a browser on the other machine (can be windows, mac, linux, android etc) and enter

Code:

http://192.168.0.2:8000

in the url address box
