Chapter 18: Setting Up a File Server
Overview
When groups of people need to work together on projects, they usually need to share documents. Likewise, it can be efficient for groups of people on a computer network to share common applications and directories of information needed to do their jobs. A common way to centrally store and share files on a network is by setting up a file server.Red Hat Linux includes support for each of the most common file server protocols in use today. The Network File System (NFS) has always been the file-sharing protocol of choice for Linux and other UNIX systems. Networks with many Windows and OS/2 computers tend to use Samba (SMB protocol). Prior to SMB, NetWare was the most prominent file-server software used on local area networks (LANs).This chapter describes how to set up file servers and clients associated with NFS, Samba, and NetWare file servers set up in Linux.
| Cross-Reference | Two other types of file servers are also described in this book: FTP (using vsftpd) and AppleTalk (using netatalk). To set up public FTP file servers, refer to Chapter 20. Chapter 26 describes how to set up a netatalk server for file sharing with Apple computers. |
