Configuring NFS
File sharing between to linux boxes with NFS
start nfs service on the server machine and client machine
Server : 192.168.1.2
Client: 192.168.1.1
service nfs start
edit /etc/exports file and add the location you want to share
this is the entry to be added to exports file to share a folder called test in home directory. (rw) will allow both read and write
folder_name_with_path host_name(options)
host_name is the name of the host(client IP or client hostname) from where you are going to mount this share
ex: if you want to share a folder called test in home folder to a client with ip address 192.168.1.1 do as below..
edit export file to add this entry (this is entered host server whose folder is actually shared)
on Server(192.168.1.2)
/home/test 192.168.1.1(rw)
go to cleint machine and start nfs service
then mount the nfs sharing
mount -t nfs -o rw nfs_server_name://folder_name_with_path mount_point
on Client(192.168.1.1)
mount -t nfs -o rw 192.168.1.2://home/test /testnfs
see man page of mount to see all the mount options.
now you can see the sharing as a folder in your own filesystem with read write permission
