Accessing another amiga via ethernet.

[Jule]

I use enlan-dfs between my 3 Amigas at home and it works great.  Easy to setup.  Type export work (or workbench, or whatever you want to export from one computer) and then type import that node on the other computers and the first computer's exported partitions (or devices or printer) appear on the other computer's workbenchs.  Came out in the early 90s.  I got it off ebay cheap.  Made by Interworks in Calif.  However, it does not work with all ethernet cards.  Works with 2065, Hydranet and some others.  Jule

Enlan DFS was brilliant. I had Hydras in my micronik A1200 before it went PCI and a Hydra in my 4000/040. It was so easy to use and configure.
Does not work with MediatorNET.device however.

Shame as It was a cool bit of software.

And it works just as well between two amigas as it does between an amiga and a pc? Just checked on aminet and no readme says that so....
But, thanks for the tip. I'll d/l and try!

Amiga<->Amiga and Samba is a breeze to setup. Throw other OSs into the equation and it gets more difficult, though nowhere near impossible.
I can recommend http://www.amigasamba.org as the first place of reference.

If Samba is too hard for you, why dont trt Tango instead? ;-)

It's Graphical User Interface for Samba (Which you also need to
install, of course)

Huh, samba, envoy, ftp... overkill!  :-D

Download the AmiTCP demo from aminet. Within you will find the files of amiganetfs, a simple to setup and use networking filesystem. If you search on aminet for "netfs" you will also find a slightly older version of it.
