I have fstab set up to do this This is exactly what I do. It works reliably over both WiFi and Ethrnet. The server is a Synology NAS. The advantage is that the files physically live on the server so I can edit them using my desktop system and the edits instantly show up on the robot. I do not need to SSH to the robot to change a file. The same applies to g-code files for a Mill or 3D printer. Those live on the same server and I can edit them on any computer and the results are instantly on all the others computers. The other thing the server does is keep a change history of my work, I can restore it to any point in time in the past, instantly with no need to go find a backup. he file system is "copy on write" so versioning is built-in at the filesystem level. Yes I do continuous off-site sync as well. One could set up a NAS themselves with all the features you want but Synology makes is VERY easy and the boxes use minimal power -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
