The Network File System Access Protocol (NFS) is a standard component of most * nix kernels. You will be able to use it on almost all Linux builds.
This is a simple guide. If you want to know more, check out this resource
Steps
These are tasks for sysadmins and must be done as root (su - to go to root or sudo)
Method 1 of 3: Server
Step 1. Modify / etc / exports, add a line for each exported directory
- directory hostname (options) hostname2 (options)
- directory is the path to the local directory that you wish to export.
- hostname is the IP address of the client who will not be able to access the directory or * if you are not going to set restrictions.
- options: see man exports for all available options, eg ro, rw …
Step 2. Get the nfs server to reread / etc / exports
exportfs -ra
Method 2 of 3: Client
Step 1. Create an installation point
mkdir / mnt / remotefs
Step 2. Install NFS export
mount -t nfs: / exportedDir / mnt / remotefs Step 3. Use the remote file system as if it were local, opening directories in this way.
/ mnt / remotefs: ls / mnt / remotefs
Method 3 of 3: Example
These are tasks for sysadmins and must be done as root (su - to go to root or sudo)
In this example, we export the temp (/ tmp) directory, read write for all users on your network, the client will install or attach the directory to his system:
On the server 192.168.5.5/24
Step 1.edit / etc / exports add the following
- # export tempo for everyone
- / tmp 192.168.5. * (rw)
Step 2. Make nfsd read the export information
exportfs -ra
On the client's machine 192.168.5.105/24
1 mkdir / mnt / sharedTmp
Step 2.mount -t nfs 192.168.5.5:/ tmp / mnt / sharedTmp
When finished: on the server, ls / tmp will display the same data as on the client's ls / mnt / sharedTmp
Advice
- Use the man pages - this is your help: man exports, man mount, man exportfs other
