How to display files of server2 in server1?

hi,

i have two servers in unix. say server1 and server2. my shell script is running on server1.

In server2, there is a directory (/etc/data/) which contains some text files.

I want to write the list of filenames in server2 in a file and display the file in server1.

In short, i want to display the filenames present in server2 in server1.

i thought i can use FTP like..

Code:
ftp server2 <<FTP1
quote USER aaaa
quote PASS bbbb
cd /etc/data
Files=`ls -l | cut -c45-`
FTP1

In the aboce code i tried to populate a variable with the file names which are present in server2, but it doesnt work.

can any1 help doing this? or suggest some other method..

Thanks

you can mount the server2:/etc/data/ on server1 using nfs and then you can possibly list the files exist in the directory on server1.

on server2:

1. Install nfs-utils package #yum install nfs*
2.the /etc/exports file will be available
3.#vi /etc/exports
enter following to export the directory.
/etc/data/ server1(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

Note: you can use the IP address of server1 instead of hostname.
save file
4.restart nfs service and portmap service.
/etc/init.d/nfs restart
/etc/init.d/portmap restart

on Server1:
5.use following command on server1 to verify if the nfs mount point is working.
#showmount -e server2
This will show the /etc/data directory.

6. create a directory on server1 and mount the server2 directory as below.

Ex. on server1 create a directory /mnt/server2

#mkdir /mnt/server2

7. mount the server2 directory on server1
server1#mount -t nfs server2:/etc/data /mnt/server2

now you can list the files in directory /mnt/server2 which are actually exist on server2.

you can permanently mount the mount point using below.

in /etc/fstab add following

server2:/etc/data /mnt/server2 nfs defaults 0 0
