SoulSe Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 There are several ways to share files over the network in Linux. You could use NFS shares, SFTP (which works over SSH) or file copy tools like scp. Let us know more about what you want to do exactly, that'll make it easier to tell you what to use. If you want to share games you could install them to a partition or directory shared on NFS. Access times over network connections are slow for apps though, it's far better to install a game on the machine you want to play it.

voyage Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thx for the reply what i want to do is use my comp for storing photos etc, but allow other machine to access them and print them also for games like Unreal tournement so my son can kick my ass at it. (he uses me as canon fodder guess thats what dad,s are for) Many thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
