I don't have any inspirations on your file transfer problem yet, but what's
the problem with NFS? I've had no problems with NFS on 4.2, 5.0, 5.2, 6.0,
6.1 or 6.2.
Is it the server side or the client side that doesn't work? Hard to
imagine you'd have problems with the client side.
On the server you should see nfsd running (8 copies by default) and also
rpc.mountd. Do you have an appropriate /etc/exports file? If not, try
a very simple case, making a /etc/exports file containing something like:
# export doc directory read-only
/usr/doc (ro)
Then just run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start".
You should now see something like:
[root@redhat60 init.d]# ps axww|grep nfs
10573 ? S 0:00 rpc.mountd --no-nfs-version 3
10584 pts/2 SW 0:00 [nfsd]
10585 pts/2 SW 0:00 [nfsd]
10586 pts/2 SW 0:00 [nfsd]
10587 pts/2 SW 0:00 [nfsd]
10588 pts/2 SW 0:00 [nfsd]
10589 pts/2 SW 0:00 [nfsd]
10590 pts/2 SW 0:00 [nfsd]
10591 pts/2 SW 0:00 [nfsd]
Then on the client machine, you should be able to do something like:
mkdir /mnt/doc
mount server:/usr/doc /mnt/doc
You'll want to start nfs and nfslock in runlevels 3, 4 and 5, once things
are working and you should do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs reload" when you modify
/etc/exports.
