[Novalug] Exchangimng files

[Ed James]

Charlie,

   The way I handle this is to make a directory on each of two
machines (let's say /NFS) and used them as Network File Systems.
One machine has real stuff in it, the other machine has NFS as
just a mounting point.  Then I do something like:

    mount -t nfs sneezy:/NFS /NFS

where sneezy is the machine that I'm NOT sitting at when I type
the above command in.  I don't remember how I export NFS on
sneezy since sneezy is currently in storage.  This was the easiest
way to go that I'd found.  Note: there's only ONE copy of a given
file this way.  To move files across machines, you need to put
a file into /NFS somewhere, then cp it to a different (local)
directory.
