Hello all,
>From Bering router machine, I would like to read/write from/to some files on an internal machine (either Linux or MS Windows-Server). What is the best way to do that?
As posed, this question is a bit too general to get a good answer.
First, the answers for Linux and Windows are likely to be quite different.
Second, what do you actually want to do?
As a general matter, you have three options that I can think of, none of them very attractive in the context of LEAF/Bering.
1. Mount a remote filesystem on the LEAF router in one of the usual ways ... NFS or SMB. I don't *think* there are ready-made Bering packages for either (at least I can't find them in Jacques' package area), and probably the Bering kernel doesn't include support for these filesystems anyway. Were this a standard Linux-to-Linux problem, or Linux-to-Windows, I'd probably go this way.
2. Use an activity-specific client-server setup (like the one for remote syslog'ing). Whether this works for you depends on the specifics of what you want to do ... does a suitable pair of apps exist, and is the client one packaged for LEAF/Bering?
3. Use ssh to connect to the internal server from the LEAF router and do what you need to do. This is straightforward if you want to access those files from a standard command-line app (edit them with vi, for example) ... or at least it is straightforward for the LiEAF-to-Linux variant ... but messy if you want to run some other sort of updater over an ssh tunnel.
