Connecting Two Unix Computers To Share Files
I was wondering if I could get some help with two of my Unix computers.
Bare with me as I am new to this software and, hardly know anything on these computers, except based on what I have already worked with them.
Here is my issue.
I have two unix computers setup together, not connected to any PC servers. I have a port connecting the two computers with cat 5 cable.
I can connect to computer say # 2 via XFTP and can transfer files with a PC, using a FTP tool.
How-ever on computer #1 I do the same steps and it will not connect. I try to XFTP the computers together and it tells me that it lost connection to the other computer.
I can ping both computers from my pc, and can ping both each other and itself at both computers with 0 pack loss. How-ever I cannont get they to communicate to share files.
I would like to be able to provide some system info, how-ever I am new at this, and it's isnt what I am used to with Windows or Macs. When I do logon to the computer it says Alpha Generation, so i dont' know if that helps or not as well. And I seen V 5.1 B if that helps
Any help would be appreciated.

pvmfdelhost
DELHOSTS(3PVM) PVM Version 3.4 DELHOSTS(3PVM)
NAME
pvm_delhosts - Deletes hosts from the virtual machine.
SYNOPSIS
C int info = pvm_delhosts( char **hosts, int nhost, int *infos )
Fortran call pvmfdelhost( host, info )
PARAMETERS
hosts An array of pointers to character strings containing the names of the machines to be deleted.
nhost Integer specifying the number of hosts to be deleted.
infos Integer array of length nhost which contains the status code returned by the routine for the individual hosts. Values less than
zero indicate an error.
host Character string containing the name of the machine to be deleted.
info Integer status code returned by the routine. Values less than nhost indicate partial failure, values less than 1 indicate total
failure.
DESCRIPTION
The routine pvm_delhosts deletes the computers pointed to in hosts from the existing configuration of computers making up the virtual
machine. All PVM processes and the pvmd running on these computers are killed as the computer is deleted. If pvm_delhosts is successful,
info will be nhost. Partial success is indicated by 1<= info < nhost, and total failure by info < 1. The array infos can be checked to
determine which host caused the error.
The Fortran routine pvmfdelhost deletes a single host from the configuration with each call.
If a host fails, the PVM system will continue to function and will automatically delete this host from the virtual machine. An application
can be notified of a host failure by calling pvm_notify. It is still the responsibility of the application developer to make his applica-
tion tolerant of host failure.
EXAMPLES
C:
static char *hosts[] = {
"sparky",
"thud.cs.utk.edu",
};
int status[2];
info = pvm_delhosts( hosts, 2, status );
Fortran:
CALL PVMFDELHOST( 'azure', INFO )
ERRORS
These error conditions can be returned by pvm_delhosts
PvmBadParam
giving an invalid argument value.
PvmSysErr
local pvmd not responding.
