→Setting up Ubuntu Linux Folder Sharing
Select a folder to share (either by selecting a home directory from the list or using the ''Other...'' option to browse the file system). Finally it is necessary to specify which hosts have access to the folder. To define this click on the ''Add'' button to display the allowed ''Add allowed hosts'' dialog:
[[Image:Exampeubuntu_shared_folders_allowed.jpg]] Specifythe allowed host either by entering the IP address or hostname. Alternatively, enter information to allow access from all systems on the network. Once the settings are configured it may be necessary to restart the NFS services. To do this open a terminal window and enter the following command: <pre>sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart</pre> Once the server restarts the shared folder may no wbe accessed from other Linux systems. == Accessing Ubuntu Linux Shared Folders == The shared folder may be accessed either by mounting it manually from the command-line, or browsing to it using the ''File Browser''. To mount the remote folder from the command line open a terminal window and create folder where you would like the remote folder to be mounted: <pre>mkdir /home/demo/demo-folder</pre> Next enter the command to mount to the remote folder (in this example we use ubuntu2 as the remote hostname and /home/demo as the remote path - modify these to match your environment): <pre>sudo mount ubuntu2:/home/demo /home/demo/demo-folder</pre> The remotyew folder will tehn be mounted on the local system. Once mounted /home/demo/demo-folder will contain the remote folder and all its contents. To access the remote folder using the Ubuntu ''File Browser'' simply select ''Network'' from the ''Places'' desktop menu and navigate to the remote folder.
