Network Connections
I have a static IP 47.21.154.146 and two computers which I wish to talk to each other. The two IPs are 198.168.1.5 and 198.168.1.6.

How do I do it. For example ls from one computer to the other.

TIA

Thanks.

Code:
47.21.154.146

Public IP address of network
Code:
198.168.1.x

Addresses of the two computers on the network.

If they are on the same network segment, then the public IP address is not relevant. It does leave a few questions though:-
  • What sort of conversation would you like them to have?
  • What OS are they running?
  • Can you share the output from ifconfig -a or the equivalent for their OS?



Kind regards,
Robin

198.168.1.x is an address from the public internet as well (belongs to a company in Canada).
I guess you mean a private LAN (192.168.x.x)? And the ls command? You'll need to login on the "remote" node and the issue the command you want to run.
To give you any meaningful advice, there's way more detailed info necessary, as rbatte1 already pointed out!

Thanks for the information. Regarding the conversation that you want them to have, we still need to know more about what "Client/server Code and data" is though. Is this to:-
  • copy data from one to the other
  • drive an application on A that uses data on B
  • drive an application from A that runs on B
  • something else?
We could discuss NFS, FTP, SFTP, Telnet, Remote Shell, Secure Shell, Samba, NetCat, IP sockets, OBDC, etc. etc. but we need to know what you actually want to do with these servers.


Can you explain their purpose?


Kind regards,
Robin
