thanks. I came across a few howtos on NFS but did not appear to help with my problem. Now I have it working I will look again. I would not normally be accessing large files. I just want to mount some filesystems that I have set up for samba users. I wanted to set up a cron job to back up files on my PC to this server but I ended up automating ftp to copy my archive file over. -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
