Networking OS X with Mandrake Linux 9.1

proud ibook owner 2k2

Hi ppl. I finally have my Linux server running. The ony thing is that I've got no way of getting files off of it. Is there anything I can do to network the two machines (my iBook and my Gateway machine I that I'm using as a server) together? I wanna be able to pull files off of it. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to setup SMB server on the linux machine. Also, you can check out a linux file sharing product called "Lisa". It allows you to browse connected networks.

Just export a dir on the linux box and

$mount linux:/dir_path /some_dir_mountpoint on OS x.

Where can I find Lisa? Would the SMB shit be on my Mandrake CDs? Thanks for the replies.

BTW, if you are talking about simply copying a few files/folders once or twice, the quick easy way is to start sshd on both machines and then:



scp 192.168.x.x:/Users/n00b/amateur_porno/*.mpg ./

or similar.



'man scp' of course.



On linux, '/etc/init.d/sshd start' starts it up. Search google for how to get it to automatically start on boot (which is very smart and handy for remote administration!). On OSX, it's in your network prefs somewhere, called 'remote login' or something.

I run Suse Pro 8.2 and the Lisa daemon came on my cd's. I found their site by searching google though. And yes, SMB should be a basic load or atleast on your cd's.
