Getting a shared drive on Amiga Workbench
« on: June 08, 2006, 01:32:54 AM »
Hello all:

I now have a working TCP stack and network interface attached to my A1200.  I now need to access the drive on my Linux box via my Workbench on my A1200, there to be able to transfer all my Amiga files to that drive and begin to make ADFs back into floppies and so on.

Patrik had suggested SMBFS and I am not sure how to get that installed.  Also I guess you could go NFS but I do not have that breadth of networking knowledge, basically all I have to do is be able to access my home directory on my Linux box from my Amiga.  Need major help doing this.

Thanks,

(reference this thread)

Hello SamuraiCrow:

What FTP client do you use?  Tried using the ncFTP that is part of the AmiTCP stack, but I am having trouble getting my user info into it.  Since my Linux box is setup for FTP to the user home directory, finding a good FTP client is a viable option.  If you have a good suggestion?

Thanks,
