File sharing between two K13.04 boxes

[bill-lancaster]

Having read previous posts on this I'm still confused.

I've just installed a new 13.04 Kubuntu system and wish to share folders with another Kubuntu 13.04 box on the same wifi network.

Adding

192.168.1.4:/home/bill /home/bill nfs rw,hard,intr,noexec 0 0

to /etc/fstab where 192.168.1.4 is the other box produces:-

An error occurred while accessing '/home/bill on 192.168.1.4', the system responded: mount: only root can mount 192.168.1.4:/home/bill on /home/bill

when selected in Dolphin

I don't wan't to go blundering around in my new system so any help would be appreciated.

See I've network shared my two PC's - YEAH!!

try adding "user" to you fstab line right after noexec like "rw,hard,intr,noexec,user 0 0 "

this will alow users to mount the location referenced by the line.

VINNY

you do have NFS set up right ?

Thanks Snowhog - got stuck because I don't have /etc/export.
And what is meant when Vinny says have I set up NFS right?

My new system start behaving oddly so I re-installed K13.04, checked in Dolphin and, under Network/Network I could see my other box and am able to transfer the files I need.
I've no doubt this isn't going to completely satisfactory in the future but will do for now.
