FIle sharing on my LinuxRouter-fueled network.

I am loving this Linux Router. Bought an old 486 from Bassmann (great guy), set up Freesco, and was off and running my cable bandwidth among three computers. However, I never bothered to set up file sharing among the three.

So, how exactly is this done? And is it to be done in a special way? I recognize that file sharing poses huge security problems on an unprotected network, but the Linux Box completely shields my ome computers - I made sure to have no ports forwarded at all to decrease vulnerability.

The router is using DHCP to assign addresses, if that matter any.

Thanks in advance for all your help. I really appreciate it....


 
If you want to share to windows (SMB networking), use Samba. If it's linux to linux, use NFS. I use a linux box to serve my two workstations (win2k) with Samba. works great. But I'm by no means an expert 🙂
