I tried to share files between 2 RH 7.1 work stations. My first try was by nfs. The "from" w/s that has the file was configured as 1) /etc/hosts fils has the "to" w/s and the "to" w/s is in the /etc/exports (along with the "from" directory. The book I'm using says to restart /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd & /rpc.mountd. rpc.mountd continues to run, but rpc.nfsd doew not show on a "ps aux" command as the book expects. A rpm quiery shows that nfs-utils are there. The attempt to mount the "from" directory onto an empty dir on the "to" w/s resulted in a msg saying unable to receive. Second try was via ftp, however neither w/s was a server. My search thru the HOWTO's didn't say much about ftp servering. rpmfind.net only showed clients. Any help?
