how to mount a file system of a remote machine to local file system

Hi friends,


In my case, there are serveral PCs running Linux in a LAN.

I would like to to mount the directory /A_river of machine-A to the file system of another machine machine-B so that I can access files in that directory.

I do not know how to do this. The situation is complicated by the following needs. I need /A_river of machine-A can be mounted by serveral machine, machine-B, machine-C, machine-D, etc. Shall I repeat the operations on each machine. What is the wise way to do this.


Thanks

Hi
First off all please use the FAQ sides

Ok this is the standard answer of this question.

What do you looking for is a feature called nfs.
The nfs server on the side you need to access (share it) the file system and the nfs client on all clients (mount it)!

How to ?
Search for nfs inside this forum and/or one forum dedicated to your OS.

This is a Thread of configuration nfs for fedorra. My bee you can find some hints:
NFS Server FC7 Solaris client problems!

Best regards
joerg

1. Share file directory on remote host using nfs.
2. manually try to mount shared directory on local system.
3. If you mount successfully, add same entries into /etc/fstab to mount it on every reboot.
