This is telling a NFS server to export filesystems and telling the client to mount exported filesystems from NFS server on it's mountpoints. Are you sure you want to do this? You have to set up an NFS server first. Read the HOWTO. Easy way to transfer files is to use 'file transfer protocol' aka FTP. Use 'ncftp' or just type 'ftp' (type 'help' to get help). best wishes, Indraneel On 12 Jun 2000, john J K wrote: > Hello > I wanted to copy files from one server to another server , I searched the archive >I foubd the way , since i am new to linux comunity I was not able to get the meanning >can some one explain it, I have two machine source and destination > I want to copy "home/john" from source to destination machine > I had run "/usr/sbin/exports" after putinmg the name "/home/john" in >"/etc/exports" > > then from the destination machine > i had to type "typemount -t nfs m/cname : dirname mountpoint" > I did not understantd this > what is m/cname ? > : dirname ? > > can some one give the correct syntax to copy "/home/john" directory from the source >machine to destination machine in the above command > > Thanks > John > > > conents of archive > " can use nfs for this.
