On each computer install the openssh-server and openssh-clients packages. Now on your KDE Konqueror URL line enter fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/directory where username is a valid user name on the remote computer and hostname is either the IP address or the name of the remote host as defined in your /etc/hosts file. /path/to/directory is the directory name you want to access on the remote host. You will be prompted for a user namepassword of the the remote user. It is possible to configure the system to not prompt for a password. This page explains more http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/kio_fish.html derek Also check the information about and install the lisa daemon. In konqueror you can browse your network, click on the machine identified by IP and see the services they offer, be that fish, http, smb or other. Go to Drakconf to configure lisa.

How hard is it going to be to accomplish this and where do I start? Thanks, Steve Install webmin on both machines. Export your home dir on each machine and make a nfs share as well on both the machines. Also make a /mnt/xxx dir where the files will be shared. All using webmin. That should do the trick. -- Marek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
