However, if its a relatively small amount of traffic between Linux machines, I would be more inclined to use ssh / scp / sftp. It takes a little effort to setup (generate RSA keys, copy the public key to the other machine*, etc.) It is very convenient once its setup. You can also use something like filezilla, winscp, or best of all sshfs. * something like the following works: cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh user@othermachine "cat - >> .ssh/authorized_keys" <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 6:36 PM, DB <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:Freddog_de@yahoo.co.uk">Freddog_de@yahoo.co.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">On 09/15/2009 11:56 PM, Steve Searle wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Around 10:34pm on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 (UK time), DB scrawled: </blockquote> </div> </blockquote> </div> </blockquote> Thanks Michael, It turns out I have an installed Firewall I wasn't aware of which had to be opened for Samba & Client, and that the smb & nmb services were disabled.... So at least I can see all the attached machines now. I'll take a look at ssh & co. Thanks again Dave </body> </html>
